Changing domains

I installed DNN at siteONE.ca/dotnetnuke then built the site, then I went to Godaddy and tried to replace siteONE.ca with siteTWO.ca. Every thing is good on the hosting and registrar end, but when I go to siteTWO.ca/dotnetnuke it redirects me to siteONE.ca/dotnetnuke and doesn't show any site.

I did a bit of reading on this and I was told that I have to change a config file some where. I'm hoping that it will be that easy. Any help on this will be greatly appericated.

Thanks

Alan.

Re: Changing domains

You need to change the PortalAlias, which can be found in the PortalAlias table, or by logging into the site as a superuser (host) and going to the admin/site settings page.

Re: Changing domains

Thanks for the reply I actually can't get into the site right now, because I replaced the domain name. So there is nothing in the old site OR the new one. Is there a config file I can change somewhere? Or should I switch every thing back, then make the changes you suggested and then switch the domains?

Re: Changing domains

If you can access the database you can fix this, otherwise you're going to need to try to restore to the previous state then make the appropriate change.

Re: Changing domains

Where would I find the Server Name Login and Password for the database? I read that they would be in web.config, but alas, no luck.
