Hi,

I tried to create a parent portal with subdomain alias in GoDaddy but to no avail. I keep seeing the the main portal instead of the sub portal I created. What I've done.

1. Created a Subdomain which points to the DNN install directory. (e.g. forums.mysite.com points to www.mysite.com/dnn)

2. Created a Parent Portal with the alias forums.mysite.com

When I log into forums.mysite.com, I only see the main portal which is installed at www.mysite.com/dnn. Address bar shows forums.mysite.com, but the links points to www.mysite.com/dnn/*

What am I doing wrong?

Hope this helps you as well as others (I'm done beating my head against the monitor!!!)

here is the content for my redirection page  named: www.mydomain.com/default.asp

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
dim domainname, i
domainname = request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST")
i = instr (1, domainname, "www")
if i=0 then
 ' if the domain name does not begin with www, add www.
 strURL = "http://www." & domainname & "/dnn/"
else
 ' otherwise just return the domain name
 strURL = "http://" & domainname & "/dnn/"
end if
' 301 permanent redirect
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", strURL
Response.End
%>

Thanks, that did the trick.

When i surf around the sub domain, I notice the portal goes to forums.mysite.com/dnn.

Is there is no way to set it as root (without the /dnn folder) without installing DNN in the root?
