Hi all,

Just installed DNN for the first time.  Having some problems accessing the initial portal  - hope you can help me.

I made a fairly standard install, but with one key difference from the instructions. Instead of creating a virtual directory in IIS, I created a new Web Site, running on port 81. This is because I need to have my DNN installation working as it's own web site - a subdirectory under the main website is not an option for my server.

Everything went fine for the install - and I got all the way to the initial portal page. However all of the the links on the page (such as Register or Login) fail because they do not include port 81.

So - no problem I thought - I'll just change the host headers on my new DNN website to allow port 80, but using a specific host header, to keep the traffic seperate from my main default web site.

Unfortunately, now it seems that all requests to the new DNN website seem to be doing a Response.Redirect to "http://localhost".  The only way I can access the portal is on port 81.

Anyone got any ideas why the redirect is happening?

 

Hope you can help. Thanks in advance,

Mike

It seems to me that I heard one time that using DNN on different ports could cause an issue, but this is just vaguely stuck in my mind.   I would think that you could get around it.  You need to take a look at the PortalAlias table in SQL and get the right URLs for your site in there.   That could solve your problem.

Whenever you update the PortalAlias tables you need to be sure to refresh the site.  Numerous ways to do that, throuhg IIS, etc.

Also check web.config for port settings (I think)....

Thanks for the tips. 

One more piece of info.... after my original post I decided to delete everything and do it all following the instructions exactly. So this time it was all on port 80, using a virtual directory under my default web site, instead of a seperate website entirely.

The problem still exists!      If I visit my new portal, it does a response.redirect to "http://localhost/dnn". 

To see what it looks like from the outside, feel free to visit my site: www.missioncontrol.co.nz/dnn

I will check my PortalAliases table shortly. Any further suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
