Sorry people but I have forgotten how to create another portal.  I have just brought a domain name but it will take 48 hours to propogate and wish to start work on the skins straight away.  How do I add another portal to my live website without the use of the domain name and then change the portal Alias name once my portal is working.

Would I need to create a child portal something like :www.mysite.com/myNewSite.com or would I just create a partent portal with temp alias like MyNewSite

Cheers

I would personally recommend modifying your hosts file to temporarily create the URL on your side.  Then you can add the portal in the normal fashion.  External users will not be able to see it until the DNS Propagation is complete, but you can at least get started and not mess around with any "funky" DNN configurations.

If you are not aware how to modify your hosts file, shoot me an e-mail at mitchel.sellers@gmail.com and I'll give you instructions.
