I refresh my dev copy of the site weekly but this week is the first time I have had any trouble at all.  This week, I also have a parent portal and from the error message I got, it might be related to that.  

I followed the directions - sort of - there is no PortalsAlias field in Portals, but there is an HTMLAlias field in PortalAlias - and altered the HTMLAlias in the PortalAlias record and end up with the following:

If I try to go directly the the root of the site, in this case http://pvasdev.dnndev.me or  http://pvasdev.dnndev.me/default.aspx I get

DNN Error - Domain Name Does Not Exist In The Database.  I made the suggested change to PortalAlias, trying both localhost and 127.0.0.1, but no change.

 

If I go here: http://pvasdev.dnndev.me/Home/tabid/59/Default.aspx

The site comes up but the links are either to pvasdev.dnndev.me or to localhost/websites/pvasdev.  What am I getting wrong?  

Can someone point me in the right direction?  Thanks.

JoAnn

What records do you have in the PortalAlias table? You should have psavprod.dnndev.me defined and that's likely the only record you need.

After you update the table, recycle the app pool to get the Cache to clear

Yup.  That came to me this morning - stupid me - I know better than to try to do anything after work.  Will update that and try again tonight.  

There is a second record in PortalAlias for the parent site.  

Thanks!

A trick I use is to leave the dev portalaliases in the table for the live site.

The live site will never see a request with those host headers and it's one less thing to forget when I take a dev copy.

Clever!  In fact, I recall that the host company had that set up for a while before we moved our site to production.  Thanks for the reminder!
