I have an internal site that is on a win2003 machine/iis 6.0.  Its DNS was nonexistent when I installed DNN, so I was using WINS resolution to admin the site.  Since then, we got a DNS and a dedicated IP.  I disabled WINS on the interface.

Every time someone goes to http://mysite.mydomain.com/, the URL is rewritten by DNN to http://mysite/

This disallows people not on our domain (local to each city) to see the site.  How can I stop DNN from doing this?  There is no setting in IIS I can find that makes a difference, and when I turn off the "default site", create a new one on port 80, turn on directory browsing, and select various files the URL keeps its domain suffix.  BUT, when I open Default.aspx, THAT is when the URL is rewritten to chop off the domain suffix.  We need that to stay on!  Really! :-)

I have looked at the source - there are only 2 response.redirect() calls - both are the result of some error condition that doesn't seem relevant...  (I think)...

It *looks* like a setting in a database?  In the .js file?  I am looking, looking, looking - nothing in the setup PDF.  Please help?

If I don't get it resolved in the next 10 minutes, my boss is going to reinstall from scratch.  Ugh..

Chris - thanks for the fast response!  Is there a way to do this without SQL on the machine (e.g., in DNN itself?).

 

Thanks,

Chris

You need to go to the site in question and add the Alis through the site settings, then go to IIS and in the advanced settings for the domain add the alias there as well. ALL your sites under the same installation will use the same root directory in IIS, DNN sorts out the rest if all of the aliases are in place.

Ah, I found this (http://www.aquesthosting.com/HowTo/DNN/AddPortalAlias.aspx), which helps, but unfortunately I lost the "host" account's password.  I guess reinstallation is the only answer.
