Hi,

I made mistake when installing a new site with dnn 4.9. Here is the scenario:

It is new site and I changed the ns to point to my server. As it does not point ns right away I used prepropagation support which basically points to a new location until the ns are resolved. So if the domain is in www.abc.com I ended up installing in temp.abc.com.

Now that ns is resolved if the move the propagation support it keeps redirecting to me the temp.abc.com

Now what do I need to change and where to make it start pointing to www.abc.com

Note: I installed it thru the installation wizard.

Please help.

If I understand correctly the portal keeps reverting back to temp.abc.com. What it's doing is to point back to the only alias it knows.

1. Log in as host,

2. go to 'Portals', edit the portal in question

3. add portalalias for www.abc.com.

Did it help?

I can add another portals and it works fine. But I don't get the options to edit the default installed portal.

I am guessing when I installed it to the the temp directory it kept the settings and directory somewhere in db or config somewhere and that is what I want to change.

Thank you for your response

If you can't edit the portal, then how do you edit something like the name of it? If this is impossible the portal did not install correctly and must be abandoned.

On another note: you can go to the PortalAlias table in SQL and set the directions yourself.

Oops. I can edit but I do not see any option to chnage the settings to point to www.abc.com

Thanks again for your response.
