Re: Error 404 on parent portals

Jim
for testing puposes, I suggest creating a test.html page inside the root of your web site to identify, whether DNS/IIS routes properly onto your site for each domain. once you succeeded, whe are able to take care of DNN portal aliases.

Re: Error 404 on parent portals

Thanks a million, Sebastian!.

The test.html file revealed the server was not receiving the internet requests. I checked the router and discovered that port forwarding protocol type was set to "any". When I changed it to TCP, requests began flowing to the server.

Finally my server is active again, and I've learned a lot about how to configure DNS.

Re: Error 404 on parent portals

great you were able to proceed, Jim. now it shouldn't be a big deal accessing your DNN sites, if portal aliases are properly associated.
