Hi,

I have a DNN 7.1  install with a single portal that now has two aliases

abc.com   (Default)
xyz.com

Whenever I try to browse to xyz.com I am always 301 redirected to abc.com

I saw elsewhere that someone suggested changing the urlFormat in the DNNFriendlyUrl section of the webconfig file to humanfriendly. However this also globally changes all of my page Urls. As the website is in production this is a big problem

Can anyone please help. This is quite urgent.

Thanks in advance for any help given

Tony

Hi Tony/Sebastian,

I'm in exactly the same situation here and can't seem to get this resolved. I've never found this with any pre-7.1 sites that I've configured in exactly the same way.

Tony - can you confirm that these two changes have worked for you?

Sebastian - is your suggested canonical/redirect change intended to solve Tony's original issue (the redirect to the default alias) or purely to deal with the change in URL's caused by the switch to the humanfriendly urlFormat?

Thanks in advance guys, I'm glad I'm not alone with this issue!

Hi Sebastian,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you but I did not receive any notification that any replies had been made to my post.

I had canonical set and the alias was also correctly set. I also tried setting the Sitealias mode to "None" but that didn't help.

In the end I had to use the humanfriendly setting and accept the changes to URL's but I would love to get the advanced URL facility working as I think it is a very important improvement to DNN. Almost all of my customers do not want the .aspx extensions in the URLs and the smarter ones say "We can do this in Wordpress", reagrdless of the fact that DNN is easy for them to use. 

Regards

Tony
