I am running dnn 6.0 on Windows Web Server 2008 R2, with IIS7.5     I have created a child portal with several pages and need to change it into a parent portal.  I have an old website domain (e.g. www.OldDomain.com) that i need to use, I set up the domain with the IP address and have it pointed to an empty folder under C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\olddomain    I then made sure that the default.aspx is set.  I created an application called www.olddomain.com and have it pull from the dotnetnuke application pool.   I then created an portal alias called www.olddomain.com and left the localhost/dotnetnuke/olddomain alias.  I then se the default alias to the www.olddomain.com.

Now, whenever I try to pull up www.olddomain.com I get the Error 403.14.  My guess is that IIS is just not passing the request off to DNN correctly or vice-versa.  I am really stuck and I  have searched the web and followed the instructions i found in the video by  Chris Hammond. I have followed all of the documentation I can find.  I am new to DNN and I have only just started with the configurations of IIS 7.5, but I am thinking that I am missing something silly.  Please advise ... anything would be helpful as I am totally stuck...

Many Thanks!  -

When you created the new application for the URL, what application pool is it running under? Did you configure permissions for that Application Pool on the folder in the file system?

how many web sites are there in your installation and what is your desired config of them all? Which DNN version are you using?

Only are two differences between "Parent Portal" and "Child Portal". The first one is in "PortalAlias" table. And the second one is the folder created on Root Application, which the only thing to does is link the portal like a "Child Portal".
So if you change the PortalAlias table where www.portal.com/portalchild to www.portalchild.com and then you delete the portalchild folder on Root Application, you will change "Parent Portal" to "Child Portal".


I don't still try this, but it works in theory.
