I have built a few sites for friends from my single installation of DNN. I now have a friend that wants the site I built him to show his domain name..

I was able to redirect his domain to the site I built. How do I make it so it shows his domain name in the URL? Is it possible?

Thanks,

Gene

Lets say I have my personal website at www.mysite.com. I built a site for a friend that resides at www.mysite.com/myfriend. What I want to have is my friend's site to have www.myfriend.com  as his url. I was able to redirect his url to the site, but when you get to the site it still says www.mysite.com/myfriend.

Any thoughs?

Yes.  I think you have to recreate the portal.  Currently, the friends portal is a child portal.  I believe you need to create a Parent portal in order to achieve what you want.  I could be wrong, though.   But, what I would do is to follow the link above for making a portal template (be sure to click "include content") of the current child portal.  Then when you create the parent portal, you use the portal template template you just created to bring the content automatically into the new portal.  You may have to relink to some images in the content as they will still link to the old portal directory and not the new, that often happens to me when I export a portal from a development server and use it to create the live website.  You'll still want your IIS settings to point to the dnn install directory, not to any subdirectories.  DNN will handle bringing up the correct portal with the proper domain name for you.
