on our dev site, I installed the way DNN said to, with a virtual DotNetNuke folder. Now we are stuck with that in every path.

I want to move the DNN files up to the root and get rid of that folder; I am not finding much help for doing this on the DNN sites. Just dragging the whole set of DNN stuff to the root doesn't work.

Do you have any thoughts on trying to do this? Am I better off to just trash our DNN files, and start over? Or export the dev portals from the original /DotNetNuke/ folder installation and import into a new root portal installation? Or will that even work? I can't figure out where DNN is going to find the portal root path.

you might add the portal alias for the root to the portal alias table (log in as host, select portals in host menu), and move up all files.

However, some modules might have stored full links in its content, that needs to be adopted.

thanks for the reply, Sebastian,

I should have mentioned that we had set the root in the portal alias, in the process of trying to get rid of the /DotNetNuke folder earlier, before we understood that the alias had to have the folder.

I have set up a new test DNN site on a virtual IIS service to try to figure this out; I am starting to think as you mentioned, that some modules or maybe a DNN system table (besides the one that stores the aliases) is storing the path and thus still looking for it after the files are moved out of it.

If I can figure out which it is, then maybe I can edit it and make it let go.

Well, I never got complete answer here but Nina Meyers of www.xd.com.au helped me out.

I added an alias to each portal on the dev server so that they would be found by the new DNN service minus the /DotNetNuke/ folder. (as Leopold mentioned)

Then I stopped the IIS service,
made the DNN folder the root of the IIS web service,
removed the virtual /DotNetNuke/ folder that was pointing to this same DNN folder,
and turned the IIS server back on.

And everything came up fine.

The only fixes were that any text modules that had image links in the text had to have the /DotNetNuke/ folder removed from their image path.

I still don't see why just dragging the DNN files up to the root didn't work, but this does work.
