Hi,

We have installed the Starter kit on our laptop running Windows XP and Visual Studio 2005.

Our DNN portal runs fine.

The Visual Studio project name for our portal is, emgovpowerportal. The reason for telling you this will be explained below.

The only changes made to the DNN project was the web.config file. In the future we want to be able to do more advance things.

I used the publish web site command from Visual Studio to publish the DNN site to our production web server.

The virtual directory on our production web server is part of our main web site.

www.emgovpower.com/portal

The portal directory is the name of the virtual directory that DNN was published to.

The portal virtual directory on the production web server is set up to use ASP.NET 2.0. The parent directory

www.emgovpower.com is set up to use ASP.NET 1.1.

Also, I had to set up a separate Application Pool for the DNN portal since it uses a different version of ASP.NET. I did set the DNN portal IIS properties to use the new application pool, DotNetNuke. The others use the DefaultAppPool.

When I attempt to browse to the www.emgovpower.com/portal site from my computer I'm redirected to :

http://localhost/emgovpowerportal

How would a published web site on my production server know the Visual Studio Project name, emgovpowerportal and attempt to redirect me to the /localhost/emgovpowerportal? This does not make any sense to me. I also get a 404 error.

When I attempt to browse to the www.emgovpower.com/portal site fom the production web server IIS, browse command, I get redirected to http://localhost/emgovpowerportal and get a 404 error.

What can I do?

How do I track down the 404 error with DNN? Is there a config setting I can change on the production web site to get help?

Why would my new production DNN site attemp to redirect to the Visual Studio project name, emgovpowerportal?

Thank you so very much for any help,

Karl

If I read this correctly- I would think that you need to have the url of the site put into the host / portals / and edit the portal name by clicking the pencil next to the portal and scrolling down bottom of page, then adding a new alias.

You developed locally so it's looking for the localhost url - what you need to do now is add the web url and it reupload it.  I believe that should fix this very common problem.

Which is why.. when on the network, when I setup a new site - I always use an IP address so others can view it, and make sure I put in the web addres of it's new location before deploying it.

g'Day Nina,

Thank you very much for the help.

Do to other problems, I just installed the Install Version of DNN on the server and was up and running in minutes. For what ever reason, publishing from Visual Studio 2005 was just problematic.

So, after I followed your advice, I had other exceptions that I just could not figure out, which is why I just deployed the Install package and moved on.

Have a wonderful day,

Karl
