Creating virtual directory in IIs for dnn website which uses new database

Question

I want to create virtual directory for my dnn website which uses new database, for this I followed these steps.

go to iis server manager right click on site and click on add virtual directory

then I copied all file from dnn site to virtual directory folder and runs on browser it runs fine

after that I created new database and restore the backup of old database(which are used by Dnn website) on it . and change the connection string of virtual directory web.config file, it shows error "Invalid login" then I created new login in sql server and checked db_owner Properties of new database.

but when i browse site one issue occurring "Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects."

so I want to know is these steps are right? if right then, how can i resolve this problem .

If any one have an idea please guide me

Thanks

You will need to update the PORTALALIAS in the restored Database in order to get the site working. Your PortalAlias should match the URL of the virtual directory.
