12/18/2023, 2:40 PMHi,
I have a client with an old project running on Umbraco v4, and before upgrade or rebuild the project on other version, I need to run it locally on a Windows machine 8, 10 or 11. I have all the source code and the database dump.
Can anyone help me with this ?
Thank you all!

12/18/2023, 2:52 PMI fear there isn't much documentation for Umbraco 4 available (anymore) due to its last update being 10+ years ago... And while on the subject, I also fear that the source code & database dump of the project probably won't be much use for you either when going for an Umbraco upgrade either đŸ™ˆ

12/19/2023, 12:33 PMI have almost installed the old Umbraco 4 project on a Windows 11 with IIS Express 7 and Microsoft SQL Server 2012. I have imported the database .bak file, and I can successfully connect to the database from MSSMS. But when I setup the SQL database connection information into umbracoDbDsn in the web.config the website is not able to connect to the database.
I connect via MSSMS with (localdb)\Localhost (Localhost is the name of the instance) with sa user and the password.
The line in the web.config is
<add key="umbracoDbDSN" value="server=(LocalDB)\Localhost;database=nameofdatabase;user id=sa;password=********" />.\LocalhostLocalhostpandastein
12/19/2023, 12:34 PMThe error I get when I try to load the website is:
A network or instance-specific error has occurred while trying to connect to SQL Server. The server cannot be found or is not accessible. Check that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 50 - Local Database Runtime error occurred. The local database instance specified does not exist.c
