I have a fully functional DDN site working on a server via virtual directory,

Using DNN 3.3.5

ASP.NET 1.1

SQL Server 2000

Windows Server 2003

The server administator has redirected web traffic coming in on port 80 to 82.

IIS is set to port 82

DDN portal alias includes mywebsite.com and also mywebsite.com:82 - it needs both aliases, without the second one with the port added, the home page will not load.

With this settings the home page will load from typing URL mywebsite.com, but when I click on a page link, it automatically inserts ':82' into the URL. It fails to load, but if I manually delete the ':82' from the URL, it will load the page.

I also notice some of the skin settings are not loading ... there is a coloured bar across the top and bottom of the page ... I am using a DNNDesign skin.

There are other posts that talk about this but I can't find one that actually provides a solution. Any help or pointer greatly appreciated.

 

thanks

 

 

This is a case where you may actually want the UsePortNumer switch turned OFF in your web.config. So under appSettings, make sure you have:

<add key="UsePortNumber" value="False" />

PortalAlias tweaking -- especially with port numbers and nonstandard setus -- is unfortunately pretty tedious. I can't replicate that particular setup on my development machine, so I may not be of much more help.

Could you explain a little further on how I would make a website to redirect to "mydomain.com:82" please. I assume the website that redirects is "mydomain.com" ? thanks
