Hello there,

I have been looking on those forums, as well as many other places but I cannot find the answer to my problem.

I'll explain, I have installed a dnn5 website on my personal website at the following address:

http://www.mypersonalwebsite.com/mydnn5website

The site is there, up to date and running.

Now I would like to access this same site from a different url, say http://www.mynewurl.com,

The folder where it's installed on www.mypersonalwebsite.com/mydnn5website is setup as an application in IIS, updated www.mynewurl.com dns records  to point to www.mypersonalwebsite.com/mydnn5website - that's through godaddy hosting.

I have also added the following aliases to the portal ( www.mynewurl.com / mynewurl.com / http://www.mynewurl.com, http://mynewurl.com).

Having done those changes, and restarted the application I access the page www.mynewurl.com - or any variation of it - but instead of the site loading up at the current url as the browser is doing a 302 redirect to www.mypersonalwebsite.com/mydnn5website.

I thought it might be something to do with godaddy or with the DNS settings, so pointed mynewurl.com to mypersonalwebsite.com/randomhtmlsite and that's working fine, no redirection happens. I also modified the default DNN alias to google.com and mynewurl.com 302 redirects to google.com, so it looks like the first entry in the aliases list take over anything else. I also tried to change this to mynewurl.com, but understandably got an infinite loop.

Did I miss something somewhere? I hope this posts makes sense, please let me know if more information is needed.

Many thanks, Thomas

somewhere seems to be still a wrong host header in IIS - please make sure, you removed aplication from mydnn5website folder and IIS web site points to it. Make sure, IIS host header is http://www.mypersonalwebsite.com. In DNN, portal alias should be just www.mypersonalwebsite.
