Hello all,

I have had our intranet running successfully in a virtual directory for almost a year now.  One of our managers does not like the address http://servername/dotnetnuke.  They would like to keep virtual directory going for a specified period of time to allow for links for this url to still work there is also some internal links within html modules that are not relative...

He wants to get rid of the dotnetnuke and replace it with single word or servername. 

The original name of the server is also not to  his liking so they have added an alias for this.

I have changed the default website directory to dotnetnuke directory and this works on http://servername(or alias)
but when i try to navigate to original virtual directory i recieve the following error:

I am running dnn 3.2.2 on windows server 2003 IIS6.  I have added http://servername/dotnetnuke. as an alias within root directory setup.

I have read in other forums to add <clear/> to httpModules section of the web.config file but this then causes my authentication to cease.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Server Error in '/dotnetnuke' Application.

Configuration Error

Line 39: 		<httpModules>
Line 40: 			
Line 41: 			<add name="UrlRewrite" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewriteModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewrite" />
Line 42: 			<add name="Exception" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.ExceptionModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules.Exception" />
Line 43: 			<add name="Authentication" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.AuthenticationModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules.Authentication" />

Thanks for the quick reply.  I had already had the clear tag at the start but this brings up the intranet but authentication does not work so user only sees a blank page.  I have automatic authentication (from network login).

I seem to have  it working by changing wwwroot directory location to the dnn folder.  Keeping virtual directory but having a redirect to the new http:\\<servername> and adding all relevant addresses to the http alias within dotnetnuke
- http:\\<servername>\dotnetnuke,  http:\\<servername>, http:\\<alias>\dotnetnuke, http:\\<alias>\

Seems to be running fine on my test environment.
