Hello again, CJones-
How long before we get to find out which web host has been causing you such pains?
Anyway, when you initially set up your site, how did you direct your users to the subdirectory-based site without the subdir name in the URL?
- Did you physically move your site to the root?
- Or did you add portal aliases and use the HOSTHEADER setting in WEB.CONFIG?
- Or did you keep the subdir in the path and add a redirect page from your domain root?
What are your current portal alias settings (under ADMIN -> SITE SETTINGS)?

Ha. This site has been a thorn in my saddle since day one. Notsomuch becuase of DNN, but mostly becuase how the entire project was handled. We were going to host it in-house, then decided to go external. Then the entire user and fee structure was changed while the rest of the site was still being developed. THEN the user/fee structure has been changed AGAIN recently which caused me to have to re-code a lot of my custom registration pages. OH, and did I mention that this was my first ever 'ground-up' DNN site deployment!? Brings a whole new meaning to 'sink or swim'. ha!
Now to the problem at-hand. When I intinally did this site setup, I think I used the host's generic DNN installer, which put it in a folder other than the root directory for some reason. The site is: http://www.iowabiznet.org You will notice that you are directed to www.iowabiznet.org/ibn for actual access to the site.
As for the aliases, I have the following listed:
* www.iowabiznet.org/ibn
* iowabiznet.org
* (devserver).netsolhost.com
* www.iowabiznet.org
I'll admit that I'm not really sure how the whole header/redirect area works with DNN. I need to upgrade the site to the latest DNN release, so now might be the best time to move the site to the correct directory structure.
Any ideas?
