Hello everyone! I have already created a dnn site on my localhost but i intend to export it to a livehost at a later date. At the same time i want to create a second portal on the same dnn installation .I want the second portal to be totally separate from the first one. This means that i want the second portal to be exported to a livehost at an even more later date.  Can i create a second parent portal on my localhost ? What will be the alias for the second parent portal since i don't have a domain name neither for my first portal neither for my second portal?
Thank you!

If you want them to be separated entirely, you need to have a second DNN installation and not just a separate portal.

to transfer your site, you may follow the pinned post in installation forum. to create multiple sites on your machine it depends on the WIndows version you are using.

Hey guys...following up on the original question...if DNN is installed on a localhost, how would the second parent installation be addressed/accessed? I'm having a devil of a time figuring that out. Here's what I have...
* DNN is installed in the virtual path /DNN on the server DNNSERVER. I can access the initial install as http://DNNSERVER/DNN no problem.
* I defined a CNAME record (named dnnsite) to point to DNNSERVER. When I enter 'http://dnnsite' I get the default IIS page. I have to add the /DNN to get the root DNN installation. That makes sense to me.
* When I create a child site, I can address that as 'http://dnnsite/dnn/childsite'.
* When I create a parent site, I can't address it at all.

So, the questions...
Q1: How would I set it up so that I don't have to specifiy /DNN in the?

Q2: How does the DNS or IIS have to be set up to address other parent sites? I've seen other topics/notes that say to point the new domain (i.e. mynewdomain.local) to the DNN server, but I don't understand how to get it to reference the new site...let's call it 'newparent'. I think I'm stuck on something simple with DNS or the IIS config, neither of which are real strong for me. It feels like I need a re-direct or something in here to give the DNN install the info for the proper parent folder to display.

Any help/pointers greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Chris
