I installed DNN 4.0.2 with SQL 2005 express successfully. I can go to my site, www.domainname.com, and my DNN home page is shown. When I go to click on any other link, it redirects to my local server IP address which is where DNN was installed (http://10.x.x.x/login/home/tabid.... instead of http://www.domainname.com/login/home/tabid/.... ). This happens to all the links on the site.
I went to the Host account, then the portals page to enter a portal alias. My local server IP address, 10.x.x.x , was already entered as the alias, which I could not delete. I went ahead and entered my own alias, www.domainname.com, which was now listed second. I then restarted IIS, went back to the page with the same results on the redirect. No liuck.
I then reinstalled DNN using a custom entry in the dotnetnuke.install.config file for my own portal alias, www.domainname.com. After a successful installation, I could even bring the page up at all.
More information......
I have installed this into the "default website" of IIS. Not a Virtual directory. Not sure if this creates a problem. I also manually went to the portalalias table and entered my url - www.domainname.com. It already had my local address enterd in the table. I have tried my url - www.domainname.com entered first and second.
Wow..... exhausted what I know, which is not much.
Please help anyone..........
I am confused........ What am I doing wrong????
Any ideas, and I mean any, would be greatly appreciated!!!!
