I installed DNN 4.0.2 with SQL 2005 express successfully. I can go to my site, www.domainname.com, and my DNN home page is shown. When I go to click on any other link, it redirects to my local server IP address which is where DNN was installed (http://10.x.x.x/login/home/tabid.... instead of  http://www.domainname.com/login/home/tabid/.... ). This happens to all the links on the site.

I went to the Host account, then the portals page to enter a portal alias. My local server IP address, 10.x.x.x , was already entered as the alias, which I could not delete. I went ahead and entered my own alias, www.domainname.com, which was now listed second. I then restarted IIS, went back to the page with the same results on the redirect. No liuck.

I then reinstalled DNN using a custom entry in the dotnetnuke.install.config file for my own portal alias, www.domainname.com. After a successful installation, I could even bring the page up at all.

I am confused........ What am I doing wrong????

Any ideas, and I mean any, would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Cdttg

im getting the same problem.

i get the site working in vs2005 using its test server and whenever i publish it, it then trys redirecting the the url of the vs test server.

does any one have any ideas?

Charles,

Thanks for your help. Yes, it is my Windows 2003 server in my Active directory. The www.bcrzone.com URL is entered in my DNS server (same box) and resolves to my external IP address on my ISA server as you will see. Feel free to visit my site to see what I am actually talking about. It is my lab environment.  I do have ICMP turned off so there is no response to ping, but it will resolve. I have run many websites inclduing Sharepoint Portal from MS with no problems in the past.......

Thanks again..... I desperately want to get this portal solution running for my corp. office........ Very powerful and easier to grasp than Sharepoint......
