Hi all,
I've been using DNN for the first time on a project over the last couple months. I am attempting to move my site from my local dev environment to my production server. I found enough resources out there to help with this process, and I appear to have successfully moved my files and database over.
I plopped my DNN 6.2.0 install folder in the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ folder and converted the folder to an application in IIS 7.5. I can run my site successfully on the server now by browsing to "http://localhost:8080/<dnn subfolder name>". However, I am having trouble setting up my alias URL.
Let's say I want my site to be shown at "app.site.com" I have done the following:
1) Add app.site.com as an alias inside my dnn site with my super user.
2) Create a new website inside IIS using app.site.com as the name and C:\inetpub\wwwroot\<dnn subfolder name> as the path. Application pool is the same as the one I created for the application under Default Web Site.
3) IIS does list this as a site binding:
Type: http
Host Name: app.site.com
Port: 80
IP Address: *
Is there something else I need to do? When I try browsing to app.site.com I just get a "cannot display webpage" browser error.
I believe I managed to add all of the necessary security settings to my files and database, because I am able to view it properly using the localhost binding.
This is my first venture into web development, so I may be missing something very basic here.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jeff
