Hi,

I'm hoping you can clarify things for me.

I have a domain name called www.salemfloorplans.com. The name points to domain space, A, where there lives a parent DNN site.

I have created an child portal in the above site, that lives at www.salemfloorplans.com/dmb, and has an alias name of www.davematthewsband.co.uk

and I have a domain name with web forwarding setup to redirect to the child portal.

Now the problem is that every page on the davematthewsband site has reference to the salemfloorplans it's url such as:

http://www.salemfloorplans.com/Default.aspx?alias=www.salemfloorplans.com/dmb

Should this be the case? This occurs with all my child portal sites.

I ask now because I have just set up a parent portal dnn site with a new host. They had set me up with a temp url. Having created an alias, and pointing a domain name to it, the sites urls all have the domain name in it and not the temp url. So why does this not work with child portals?

Thanks

Drew

thats just the way child portals work, dnn needs a way to identify the portal, and this is done by the subdirectory reference. Once dnn knows what portal is being served, the reference to the alias will be cleared from the url. So you will see that when browsing your site, the url changes to http://www.salemfloorplans.com/dmb/Home/tabid/63/Default.aspx instead of http://www.salemfloorplans.com/Default.aspx?alias=www.salemfloorplans.com/dmb 

anyway.. it's always cleaner to use parent portals, so you could use www.dmb.salemfloorplans.com instead of www.salemfloorplans.com/dmb

If I ad an alias (davematthewsband.co.uk) will this mean all page urls will then display

davematthewsband.co.uk/morepages...

or will it display dmb.salemfloorplans.com/morepages... ?

Thanks
