Hi all,



I have recently installed DNN Community on my Server 2003 box. Almost all of the steps seemed to complete properly according to the training video, however, it seems I either missed something or didn't quite get a setting correclty and now I'm at a loss as to how to fix. Hoping somebody can look at the error Im recieving and give me some guidance as to what to look for. I am very much a hands on learner, and once I've been shown once what to do, I can take it from there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Darrin

This is the Error

DotNetNuke Error

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Domain Name winningproductions.com Does Not Exist In The Database

DotNetNuke supports multiple portals from a single database/codebase. It accomplishes this by converting the URL of the client browser Request to a valid PortalID in the Portals database table. The following steps describe the process:

1.Web Server Processing
•When a web server receives a Request from a client browser, it compares the file name extension on the target URL resource to its Application Extension Mappings defined in IIS.
•Based on the corresponding match, IIS then sends the Request to the defined Executable Path ( aspnet_asapi.dll in the case of ASP.NET Requests ).
•The aspnet_isapi.dll engine processes the Request in an ordered series of events beginning with Application_BeginRequest.



2.HttpModule.URLRewrite OnBeginRequest ( UrlRewriteModule.vb )
•The Request URL is parsed based on the "/" character
•A Domain Name is constructed using each of the relevant parsed URL segments.

Examples:

URL: http://www.domain.com/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.domain.com
URL: http://209.75.24.131/default.aspx = Domain Name: 209.75.24.131
URL: http://localhost/DotNetNuke/default.aspx = Domain Name: localhost/DotNetNuke
URL: http://www.domain.com/virtualdirectory/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.domain.com/virtualdirectory
URL: http://www.domain.com/directory/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.domain.com/directory


•Using the Domain Name, the application queries the database ( Portals table - PortalAlias field ) to locate a matching record.

Note: If there are multiple URLs which correspond to the same portal then the PortalAlias field must contain each valid Domain Name in a comma seperated list.

Example:

URL: http://localhost/DotNetNuke/default.aspx
URL: http://MACHINENAME/DotNetNuke/default.aspx
URL: http://209.32.134.65/DotNetNuke/default.aspx
PortalAlias: localhost/DotNetNuke,MACHINENAME/DotNetNuke,209.32.134.65/DotNetNuke

Note: If you are installing the application to a remote server you must modify the PortalAlias field value for the default record in the Portals table according to the rules defined above.

Greetings Darrin ~

How far did you get in the process?  This error usually means that the site was setup using a different url or IP address and that the new url was added to IIS afterward.  What is missing (most likely) is a record in the PortalAlias table which tells DotNetNuke that this is a valid url for a specific portal.

Cheers!

Thanks Scott,



From what I can recall, all but the last install sequences completed. I tried to re-run it, but it wouldn't start from the begining and overwrite, so i manualy added the permissions which weren't there. I am using SQL Server 2005 and can get into the tables, but not sure what record to add.



Currently it shows NULL values in the PortalAlias Table.



Sorry, I'm new to SQL, and not sure what to add here?

drop and recreate the database, delete and re-unzip all files and start from scratch.
