I am a little confused about a DNN installation I have set-up and wondered if anyone can speculate as to what is happening here...

I have set-up a MAIN DNN site at : http://dnn.mawhitfield.net using the traditional 'auto-install' approach etc. With a view to keeping a back-up and mirror site, I have backed-up the files and the database entirely for this website and restored them to the following domains (and sub domains) at the same ISP :

http://www.mawhitfield.net

http://dnn2.mawhitfield.net

Now though, whenever I type www.mawhitfield.net, my site re-directs to http://dnn.mawhitfield.net and the same for typing http://dnn2.mawhitfield.net (it also now goes to http://dnn.mawhitfield.net.

Whats interesting is that I had a previous .NET website at www.mawhitfield.net which was built from a more basic personal starter kit from ASP.NET and this was in place until this morning and typing www.mawhitfield.net (this morning) when this website was in place didn't cause the re-direction.

Is this strange re-direct behaviour as a result of a DNN database being totally backed up and restored to a different domain/sub-domain but still carrying the attributes for the area it came from (hence the re-direction) or is it likely to be an ISP issue of domains and subdomains.

Thanks in advance for any help here. Any ideas on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated as if I move ISP providers in the future, I may carry my DNN backup with me but don't want to re-direct (after install) to something that no longer exists.

Cheers Jeff... Quick questions...

When you say 'Changing it to the URL you're entering...'... do you mean make a change to the alias by logging onto the website as HOST and amending the portal alias. If so, how is this achieved. Do you delete the current alias then re-add as there is no amend button from what I can see.

Excuse my newbie inexperience...

Cheers
