I have a DNN system that was set up by an outside vendor that I'm now maintaining. I'm having difficulty getting a new parent portal to show up correctly.

The host settings have the following:

/site
D:\WebSite\site

My system is setup so that the www site has 2 aliases

http://65.x.x.x/site

http://www.website.com/site

DNN does not give me the option of deleting the 65.x.x.x alias. It will only let me delete the www alias.

IIS is set with virtual directories to send www.website.com to the IP address. There is also a default.aspx in the root directory that does a response.redirect to www.website.com/site.

The www site works fine.

However, I created a new parent portal called brands.website.com with a home directory of brands, a new administrator account and used a portal template I exported from our main site. I created an HTTP alias for the portal for brands.website.com

The DNS is set to go to the IP address of the DNN server. We then set IIS to send brands.website.com to the straight IP address. That got us redirected to the main site, presumably because of the root default.aspx. So, we set IIS to send brands.website.com to 65.x.x.x/site. When I type brands.website.com into my browser, I'm redirected to 65.x.x.x/site, not my new portal.

What am I doing wrong? I really don't want to make a child site.

First off, if you want to change http://65.x.x.x/site to something eles you can do so in the PortalAlias table.   After changing this you will want to restartthe site.

The default.aspx page that redirects to www.website.com/site I don't believe is part of Dotnetnuke and should be eliminated.

Normally,

Creating the parent portal and setting the portalalias for the parent portal is correct.   Pointing the DNS to the IP Address assigned to the DNN site is correct, so I think those first two things need to be resolved and then you will start having some luck.

Keep us posted.

  • you can delete any alias except the one, you are currently using yourself. Login with www.website.com and remove the ip access. this shall solve the problems with 2nd parent portal as well.
  • for parent portals, you should use IIS websites, not virtual directories.

thanks for the help, particularly the point that I have to login to the other portal to remove the IP access. It's still not working quite right, but I think that has to do with the way our IIS is set up. We pointed the home directory to the root instead of the DNN directory. When we try to point it directly to the DNN directory, we're getting some weird results, but I don't think that's DNN.
