I have a fresh install of 5.2.2 with Catalook 6.0.8, IIS V6 on Windows 2003 Server.  I also have Dot Net Framework 3.5 sp1

My problem is that DNN runs fine on port 80.  I need to run this on another port (trying 8080) as this is a development machine.  I have added the alias "Machinename:8080", changed IIS to use port 8080 and it works fine locally.  I can use another machine on the same local network and It works fine.  I then added the alias for my external development IP also with port 8080.

Here's the problem:  I can access the home page but any links such as login/register produce the "The resource cannot be found." error message.  I have read through a lot of the forum information with others having a similar issue.  I have tried all the suggestions I have found so far but still get this error.  I have even tried using a different friendly url provider from Ifinity.com.au and I get the same error.

I am fairly certain it's something with the url rewrite becuase I can use the raw url just fine (:8080/default.aspx?ctl=login)

If anyone has any idea how to fix this It would be very much appreciated.  Thanks.

the web.config must be modified from

<!-- set UsePortNumber to true to preserve the port number if you're using a port number other than 80 (the standard)
    <add key="UsePortNumber" value="true" />  -->

to

<!-- set UsePortNumber to true to preserve the port number if you're using a port number other than 80 (the standard)   -->
    <add key="UsePortNumber" value="true" />

Hi,
Surprised by you reponse, I've configured one of our site to work on port 8080.... and it works fine.

There is 4 points to configure:

1- In IIS you site must be port 8080

2- You firewall must authorise the TCP Port 8080

3- the alias with port number must be in PortalAlis


4- the web.config must be modified to uncomment <add key=UsePortNumber" value="true" />

 

With that, all work for me, the default config on :
http://saso.devpci.com
and the config on port 8080
http://saso.devpci.com:8080

Hope this help.
