The setup is as follows, DNN 4.8.4:

www.site1.com <-- parent portal #1 (works fine)

www.site2.com/dnn <-- parent portal #2 (having problems)

I am having problems installing portal #2. I took the same install zip file as I used for the first portal and unzipped them into the 2nd portal. The first problem was that the LiveID module was not installed, and that broke the portal login. These LiveID files are not included in the DNN 4.8.4 files because they are created during the install. And, of course, since the database already exists the install process does not happen for the 2nd portal.

I did not know how to install the LiveID module without having a running portal, so I temporarily deleted the database and did a fresh install of www.site2.com/dnn to a temporary new database. Doing this created the LiveID files and other module files on the 2nd portal.

I then restored the original database and added the portal www.site2.com/dnn ... and, it does not work. What happens now is that the user gets redirected back to www.site1.com.

Any ideas why this isn't working? Thanks in advance.. to put it mildly, DNN install is a bit of a hassle!

You do not need to install DNN multiple times to have mutlipe parent sites.  Just install DNN and then go to host/Sites and add a new site.  On this screen you can add a child portal (aka: VD under main stite: ex - mysite.com\subsite, etc) or a parent site (mysite.com, mysite2.com, etc).  You would want to use the parent option for what yo want to do.  Then make sure both DNS entries point to the same IP address.   This is one of the main features of DNN, expecially when you are paying hosting fees.  You can have one host account and with one DNN install host multiple web sites.

If you do want to install multiple sites (with muliple installed DNN instances) to the same sQL you need to change the objectQualifier to be differenct between all the sites.  For example you have mysite1.com and mysite2.com, the objectQualifier should be different (objectQualifier = "ms1", objectQualifier = "ms2".  Otherwise both sites will try to share the same database objects which can cause issues.  If that is what you want then you should setup the parent site as described in the first paragraph.
