I am going to try to explain my problem again in this new thread now that I know a bit more of what is going on with IIS and DNN so as to cut down the confusion factor hopefully.
I am trying to setup 2 parent portals run off the same DNN installation on GoDaddy but cannot get the second portal to work at all and the Edit Bar URL changes to the actual "MyHostingDomainURL/DNN" path rather than remain the original portal URL. I have used an HTTP header viewer to also verify I am getting a 302 redirect from the DNN installation.
What I have done so far is the following:
1. Installed DNN in a subdir called DNN on my GoDaddy root directory and did SETROOT etc. permissions on the DNN directory. I also configured IIS via the GoDaddy control panel to set the domain http://MyFirstDNNDomain.com to /DNN as well as http://MyOtherDNNDomain.com to /DNN. After logging into the first portal as host and defining a second portal the first portal has two URL aliases being MyHostingDomain.com/DNN [which is not editable] as well as MyFirstDNNDomain.com and the second portal has one URL alias MyOtherDNNDomain.com.
2. I can get to my portal http://MyFirstDNNDomain.com but the Edit Bar changes to http://MyHostingDomain.com/DNN.
3. If I got to portal http://MyOtherDNNDomain.com I always get the first portal not the new second portal and the Edit Bar also says http://MyHostingDomain.com/DNN rather than reamin the second portal's URL.
I have verified that if I use control panel to map either of my portal URLs to some other web directory on my server other than /DNN then I do not get the 302 redirect but rather a normal 200 OK and my Edit Bar URL stays the same so DNN must be doing the redirect, not anything at GoDaddy.
GoDaddy in fact researched this and says that something inside DNN is redirecting my URL and causing the Edit Bar to change URLS which not only seems not very user freindly but worse I think it is also preventing my second portal from being seen by DNN.
Help!!!!!!!!
Why is DNN doing a redirect on both of my URLs to the same hosting address?
Why can I not enter my second portal?
Where are the files that cause the redirect so I could perhaps verify this or tweak it?
Can you be logged onto 2 portals as part of the same DNN installation from the same computer???
Thanks much, Dave
