DotNetNuke Error

Domain Name 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.

Check your connection string to ensure it points to the correct database.

Also, check the table called Portal Alias and make sure the record refers to your current domain.

did you resolve this?
I have just had the same error.
I upgraded from 4.9.0 to 5.4.4 perfectly ok.
I then upgraded to 5.6.8 and got this error.
My web.config connection strings are exactly the same and so is the portalalias table?

Why are these damn upgrades NEVER simple?

most likely there is an issue with the domain name currently being used not properly entered in portal alias table. please check data in the database.

The portalalias table has NOT changed and the ConnectionStrings in the web.config have not changed, just the DNN upgrade code :-(
