Initialization fails when starting site (Activation error occurred while trying to get instance of type PropertyContentReferenceListTransform)
Authority is a part of the url, which consists of username, host and port, usually username@host:port https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier
it sounds like one or more SiteDefinitions of you have been defined with the faulty host, for example mysite:12:24, which caused the exception...

The url of the site has been defined in my machine hosts file with a name like mysite.local. Since I have never had access to CMS/admin page, I updated the column Name in database table [tblHostDefinition] to match the chosen url. I have also set the same url in the column SiteUrl of table [tblSiteDefinition].

Hi,
I am quite new with Episerver CMS and I am encountering a failure during the setup on my computer of an existing site. The solution contains a main project and a library project.
IIS has already been setup and db has been imported and configured.
I cannot get access to CMS at all and I get a failure during Initialization. I am sure I am doing some basic error, but I cannot figure it out.
Below is the log from Episerver. What does the "authority" error means in the inner exception?
Thanks in advance for your help!
