Hi all,

I'm new in DNN, and I started to create a DNN website, I created a virtual directory in the Default Web Site folder of IIS, pointing to the DNN install directory, it worked, then I wanted to create a parent portal, but I failed.

Here is my steps :

1. go the hosts file enter one entry
127.0.0.1 myfirstparentportal(My OS is windows server 2003, so its directory is C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc)

2. go to IIS control to set up
I create a virtual directory to myfirstparentportal and map it to the DNN install directory just like the original DNN website.

3. bring up the DNN ->host ->protals -> set protal alias as myfirstparentportal  to custom the directory to the directory I set in the IIS.
But it idoes not work. Can u tell me what's the problem?
 

Any help will be appreciated!

Thansk,

Jed

Hi Sebastian,

What you said didn't seem to work, I tried to create it in your way, but it didn't success!

That's the normal internet error:
