Hey,

I have a DNN 4.4.1 install, the needs to run as a subdomain of an existing non-DNN ASP.Net 2.0 site:

Main site = www.SomeSiteName.com  = C:\WebFiles\SomeSiteName
DNN site = www.SomeSiteName.com\DNN = C:\WebFiles\DNN

First problem:  Site wouldn't install, was giving error messages referencing an HTTPModule in the Root sites web.config (www.somesitename.com). 
I found some info that recommended putting <clear/> in the <httpModules> section of the DNN site (Virtual Directory site).
This fixed that problem, and DNN installed and I recieved the "Click here to access your Portal" Happy-Link.

Current Problem:

Portal comes up.  I login, host/dnnhost...get tossed to main page and still not logged in.  If I enter invalid login credentials, it tells me incorrect user/password as it should.
All my research, I believe it is setting the cookie...but confused when it goes to check to cookie to validate that I am logged in  = something related to running this DNN as a "Virtual Directory" and not it's main root site.

I have found...3 or 4 people posting in various forums on the internet with the same problem.  Never any response other then "clear your cookies".  5 computers can't all need thier cookies cleared.

Surely someone has setup a DNN as a sub-site "Virtual Directory" in IIS and has seen this issue?  This is not the first time I have had problems setting up a DNN as a virtual directory...but it's been quite some time.
I will be trying to duplicate this setup on another webserver later.  I have had problems setting DNN up in this way (not a main/root site), since...DNN 1.x. 
Quite possibly it is just me?
Eager to hear any ideas/suggestions on this one.

 

Login not Working on 4.4.1 seems to be having same/similar problem, as am I.
I installed the 4.4.1 install package on my machine which has SQLServer and IIS (to an IIS VD). The install went flawlessly and I can display the home page (http://localhost/DNNTest). I didn't change a thing.

The login reports failed attempts but seems to accept correct attempts (host/dnnhost) but just redirects back to the home page not logged in - the "login" link is still display instead of "logout".

This might be a longshot...but do you have annonmyous access enabled?
