I have a couple of related questions. We are looking to use DotNetNuke at my company. I have installed 4.7 on our development server (Windows 2003 Server).
I currently have DNN installed at C:\DNN.
I have a virtual website on the server that has a virtual directory set up in its root that points to C:\DNN. (i.e., Web Sites -> VirtualSite -> DotNetNuke).
When navigating to the site in the browser, this results in http://domain/DotNetNuke/ followed by the rest of the URL. My manager wants to remove the DotNetNuke portion, so it's just the domain name followed by the URL.
I've spent the better part of the last two days researching a solution to this, and have not found one that works. I'm convinced that it's probably somethign relatively simple and straightforward, I'm just missing something.
I've tried turning on Human Friendly URLs in the web.config file (urlFormat="HumanFriendly"), but that results in the site not loading at all. I tried changing the home directory of the virtual site to point to C:\DNN, but is still showed http:\\domain\DotNetNuke in the path.
I'm baffled, and hope someone can point me in the right direction. Ideally I'd like to accomplish 2 things:
1. Remove the DotNetNuke (or whatever folder I've installed it in on a given server down the road) from the path in the URL. I have a hunch I'll need to install it in the root of the virtual website to accomplish that, but I'd rather not do a reinstall if I can avoid it.
2. Use Human Friendly URLs so that we can have things like http://domani/about.aspx or http://domain/products/electronics.aspx, etc.
Thanks.
