site.lvh.me redirects to wrong portal after moving DNN site from production to localhost

Question

I have a production site on DNN 6.2.5 that runs fine. It contains Portal 0 (never used, just a remnant from a previous developer's efforts) and Portal 1, which is the live site.

I moved it to localhost, where I had a previous version working exactly as I wanted. After the move, I went into SQL Server Management Studio and updated the PortalAlias table so that my URLs (localhost/sitename and sitename/lvh.me) point to Portal 1.

Now, when I try to access localhost/sitename, I get Portal 0 and when I call up sitename.lvh.me, I get a message informing me that 'Domain Name Does Not Exist' In The Database.' But it does. And the proper bindings exist in IIS, as it worked before.

I restarted IIS, restarted the system, made a minor change to web.config to force it to update the cache, etc... But there is no way to get into Portal 1, and I can't log into Portal 0 at all to access the DNN dashboard.

Can anyone help me get DNN to 'point to' Portal 1 as I want?

Thanks in advance.

I believe there is a new portalsetting that contains "default" alias information. You might check out the PortalSettings table to see if you see that URL anywhere.
