I installed DotNetNuke on a remote webserver under Windows 2003.  The installation seemed to go okay until the end... when i go to the main page on the site, this is the error i get... can anyone please help me.  I understand a good deal about, but am still very new to DotNetNuke and I follow instructions well but I cannot figure out how to make the changes necessary to get my portal up and running.  I believe that it has something to do with manually editing the database, but I have no idea how to get into it.  I am using MS SQL 2000.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Domain Name xxxxxxxxx.org Does Not Exist In The Database

DotNetNuke supports multiple portals from a single database/codebase. It accomplishes this by converting the URL of the client browser Request to a valid PortalID in the Portals database table. The following steps describe the process:

  1. Web Server Processing
    • When a web server receives a Request from a client browser, it compares the file name extension on the target URL resource to its Application Extension Mappings defined in IIS.
    • Based on the corresponding match, IIS then sends the Request to the defined Executable Path ( aspnet_asapi.dll in the case of ASP.NET Requests ).
    • The aspnet_isapi.dll engine processes the Request in an ordered series of events beginning with Application_BeginRequest.
  2. HttpModule.URLRewrite OnBeginRequest ( UrlRewriteModule.vb )
    • The Request URL is parsed based on the "/" character
    • A Domain Name is constructed using each of the relevant parsed URL segments.

      Examples:

      URL: http://www.domain.com/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.domain.com
      URL: http://209.75.24.131/default.aspx = Domain Name: 209.75.24.131
      URL: http://localhost/DotNetNuke/default.aspx = Domain Name: localhost/DotNetNuke
      URL: http://www.domain.com/virtualdirectory/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.domain.com/virtualdirectory
      URL: http://www.domain.com/directory/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.domain.com/directory
    • Using the Domain Name, the application queries the database ( Portals table - PortalAlias field ) to locate a matching record.

      Note: If there are multiple URLs which correspond to the same portal then the PortalAlias field must contain each valid Domain Name in a comma seperated list.

      Example:

      URL: http://localhost/DotNetNuke/default.aspx
      URL: http://MACHINENAME/DotNetNuke/default.aspx
      URL: http://209.32.134.65/DotNetNuke/default.aspx
      PortalAlias: localhost/DotNetNuke,MACHINENAME/DotNetNuke,209.32.134.65/DotNetNuke

      Note: If you are installing the application to a remote server you must modify the PortalAlias field value for the default record in the Portals table according to the rules defined above.

Thanks,

Dean

Have you tried using the same URL that you used to do the install?

Yes... it indicates that Dotnetnuke is already installed.  What I think happened is during the install, the information did not get completely into the database.  I just do not know how to check this or modify the database.  Since I am using a remote server, I do not have root access to the server.  I just need to know what I need to this site up as it is a non profit org and there is not much money to do things professionally right now.  As I said, I follow directions well and learn quickly... if anyone can help with this, I would be most appreciative!

Maybe you installed it using www.xxxxxxxxx.org and now trying to access via xxxxxxxxx.org.  Well, that won't work until you've added as an alias.

I have run into the same problem with a clean install of Windows 2003 / SQL 2000. From what I've read, you either need local access to the box or o be able to connect to the database and add a PortalAlias. I've run into a second problem though. I had a number of database script errors while installing, and when I connect to my database I have a database missing a number of  tables and stored procedures plus no data in any of the tables.

Has anyone else seen this, and/or has a solution?
