Hi,

When I originally installed my DNN-site i entered localhost/name when accessing the site. This means that it set up this as the default alias for the site (Hostmenu->Edit portalname).

I'd like to change this, not just add another because it doesn't work even though I addet the new alias to the http head in the IIS. But how can I edit this? There is no edit icon to the left of this alias. I need to enter the name of my computer instead since it always redirects to local host otherwise when previewing the site on other computers...

HTTP Alias setup in DNN portals.

/Jesper

you can only edit aliases that are not used to view the site. So first you need to add a proper alias, access your site using that alias, and remove the one you no longer want. If your newly added http alias does not work, this is most probably not a dnn error, but an error in settings of either IIS or your firewall or your DNS
