I have modified the portal alias table without realizing the impact on accessing my site running on localhost.   I tried manually adding the portal alias record back in the table.
 
IF I launch a   TEST page  in IE>>    http://localhost:53256/dotnetnuke%20website1/test2.aspx     IT WORKS FINE and is pulling data from another SQLServer DB.  So I know i have VS/SQLServer/IIS7 all setup correctly. 
 
IF I launch the   default.aspx  in IE>>    http://localhost:53256/dotnetnuke%20website1/default.aspx      I get the following errors depending on what I change the PortalAlias record in DOTNETNUKE DB to via SQLServer.
 
 When I add a record in the PortalAlias  table  with >>   localhost:52356/dotnetnuke website1    or a bogas portalAlias of  cccccccccccccccc -- I get the following error
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
 
When I add the record in the PortalAlias  table  with >>  /dotnetnuke website1   or   /dotnetnuke%20website1   or dotnetnuke%20website1--- i get the following error
 
DotNetNuke Error: - Version 04.09.00  Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed.
I have tried restarting IIS,  re-saved the web.config to make sure that my CACHE is cleared ... and all the other suggestion I’ve read on the forums.

Please help

First of all, make sure you check your IIS settings to be sure you're calling the right URL and virtual directory that you originally created. 

Then, to be sure, run this query against the database to make sure that you indeed have deleted the PortalAlias.

SELECT * FROM [dbo].[PortalAlias]

If your portal alias is not there, add it with this query:

INSERT INTO [dbo].[PortalAlias] (PortalID, HTTPAlias) VALUES (0, 'localhost/dotnetnuke')

My previous example assumes that your local site is "localhost", and your virtual directory in IIS is named "dotnetnuke".  You will need to verify the site name, port number, and virtual directory in your IIS instance.
