Hi there

I have (finnaly) maganged to get my DNN 4.6.2 installation working. I have installed it locally... After installation I have uploaded all generated files to the actual www site.

My problem now is that the DNN installation (probably the DB) remembers that the initial installation originates from localhost. So when I acces the www site, I am redirected to localhost :-) Greate...

So : Could anyone please tell me where I change the base url for the site - change localhost to www...

(By the way : I really like this product :-))

Hi,

You need to add a Portal Alias for your new location. It can be changed when you log in as a host on the Portal Settings page (all the way down the bottom).

Or, if you need to do it on your production database: edit it directlyinto the PortalAlias table.

Hope this helps.

Hi Stefan

I'll do that. I still have access to the user interface from my localhost, so I suppose I can just add the portal alias from there.
Does this give me the ability to work on DNN from localhost (create sinks and modules locally etc) and then upload them to the production DNN without any changes to web.config etc.

Yes, just make sure you add the new alias and don't remove the localhost one.

You can more-or-less just copy the whole site over to you live environment and maybe only change the connectionstring in web.config.

Skins might also need parsing by the way, but you'll notice that because of missing images and stuff like that.

Hi Stefan

I did what you suggested. I added a portal alias to the single portal that I have defined (the one that came out of the box with the installation).
I now have two aliases : localhost and www.[mysitename].com

When I try to access www.[mysitename].com I am still redirected to localhost...

What have I done wrong?
