Hello,

I am new to DNN and installed DNN 4.3.5  on a test server using the Startup Kit. The server is standalone in a Workgroup running:

Windows Server 2003 SP1

ASP.Net 2

IIS 6

SQL Express 2005

VS2005 loaded on the server

I built the server and loaded all of the updates. I also successfully created websites using the file system default method with no problems on both the server and my laptop running XP with the necessary programs installed.

When I finally decided to build a site to the local host and a database that I created seperately on SQLEXPRESS, I was able to succssfully build it after giving the correct permissions.

Once Created, I was able to get to the site on the local machine in the web browser. However, no other machine can get to the site on my network. It displays the message: "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage."

There is some other stuff about checking internet connections and such but I can get to the default "under construction " page on the server from any pc.

It just does not display the page when I try the ".../(myVirtualDirectory)" in the address line. I also even tried to get directly to the page by URL to the ".../default.aspx"  address with no luck.

 

Please Help!

I'm having this same issue now.  Does anyone have a possible solution?

I think you have to add an alias for the external URL (.../yourvirtualdirectory) by menu "Admin - Site Settings" or "Host - Portals".

Yes - I was able to fix this by putting in and alias portal.
