When I installed DNN version 5.1.4 on a Windows Hosting Platform on GoDaddy, I get this error...

Domain Name Windows Vista Does Not Exist In The Database

DotNetNuke supports multiple portals from a single database/codebase. It accomplishes this by converting the URL of the client browser Request to a valid PortalID in the Portals database table. The following steps describe the process:
 

  1. Web Server Processing
     
    • When a web server receives a Request from a client browser, it compares the file name extension on the target URL resource to its Application Extension Mappings defined in IIS.
    • Based on the corresponding match, IIS then sends the Request to the defined Executable Path ( aspnet_asapi.dll in the case of ASP.NET Requests ).
    • The aspnet_isapi.dll engine processes the Request in an ordered series of events beginning with Application_BeginRequest.

       
  2. HttpModule.URLRewrite OnBeginRequest ( UrlRewriteModule.vb )
    • The Request URL is parsed based on the "/" character
    • A Domain Name is constructed using each of the relevant parsed URL segments.

      Examples:

      URL: http://www.domain.com/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.domain.com
      URL: http://209.75.24.131/default.aspx = Domain Name: 209.75.24.131
      URL: http://localhost/DotNetNuke/default.aspx = Domain Name: localhost/DotNetNuke
      URL: http://www.domain.com/virtualdirectory/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.domain.com/virtualdirectory
      URL: http://www.domain.com/directory/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.domain.com/directory

       
    • Using the Domain Name, the application queries the database ( Portals table - PortalAlias field ) to locate a matching record.

      Note: If there are multiple URLs which correspond to the same portal then the PortalAlias field must contain each valid Domain Name in a comma seperated list.

      Example:

      URL: http://localhost/DotNetNuke/default.aspx
      URL: http://MACHINENAME/DotNetNuke/default.aspx
      URL: http://209.32.134.65/DotNetNuke/default.aspx
      PortalAlias: localhost/DotNetNuke,MACHINENAME/DotNetNuke,209.32.134.65/DotNetNuke

      Note: If you are installing the application to a remote server you must modify the PortalAlias field value for the default record in the Portals table according to the rules defined above.

Does Anyone have any idea how to move past this or fix it?

This is the seventh time I have installed 5.1.4 on GoDaddy and this is the farthest I have ever gotten.

Please help, getting really frustrated!

You have to use a valid domain name, in your case whatever domain name you use for your web site on GoDaddy.  Are you installing using GoDaddy's installer or using the Install version from Codeplex?  Are you trying to install in the root folder of your GoDaddy site?  Did you read the installation documentation?  Did you read any of the "How to install DNN on GoDaddy" posts?

Jeff, It is funny as this all used to work before I attempted an upgrade from DNN 4.9.x to 5.x.x.

That failed miserably, so I decided to remove and re-install from scratch. I am using the GD installer and no I am not doing the root site thing. I will remove it and read more posts on the "How to install DNN on GoDaddy" to see if I can glean any further infor from that.

From what I have read, this error comes from an incorrect email setting when DNN is setup, but I didn't even enter email stuff at all.

I installed DNN on my local machine with no issues at all.

I will keep you posted.

Mike
