I'm not really sure what you are trying to do. If you are creating a whole second installation you go through the same process as you did with the first one. You can create a second portal in your original installation by logging in as superuser and going to your host-->portals menu and then click on add new portal but you are not pointing to another directory - it is built inside your DNN installation in the same directory.

If you really want it in another directory you have to make a complete new installation.

Good luck,

There are 3 ways you can go about this depending on what you want to do:

1. Create a parent portal using a new domain name - in this case you would come up with a second domain name and point it to the same installation and use this as your portal alias: www.myseconddomainname.com/dotnetnuke. Of course this means you have to register a second domain name.

2. Create a subdomain name with your webhost - If you create a subdomain like: http://mysubdomain.mydomainname.com and want it to point to a parent folder/portal in your installation, you can ask your webhost to do this for you (portalalias =  http://mysubdomain.mydomainname.com/dotnetnuke) or check out greenflash's article at: http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/142/Create-Multiple-Parent-Portals.aspx . - The default of webhosts is to set you up with a subdirectory in your current installation which means you would have to set up a whole new DNN installation if you don't use the procedures listed above.

3. If you are looking to just create another portal with no extra domain names you can create a child portal - your portalalias will look like this: www.mydomainname.com/dotnetnuke/mychildportalname. When you create this portal DNN will set up most of it for you and you just need to add the mychildportalname to the end ot the url they provide.

Good luck,
