I am trying to do a multiple portal installation on a single DNN site. Here is exactly how i have it right now:

I have a parent portal at www.mysite.com

Then i have child portals added with aliases like so:

www.mysite.com/portal1
www.mysite.com/portal2
www.mysite.com/portal3

What I would like to do is have my parent portal stay the same however I want to change the child portals to:
www.portal1.com
www.portal2.com
www.portal3.com

How can I approach this? All the child portals are using the same databases and configurations as the others with some slight content differences and use different skins. I installed all of them from a master template i.e. Portal1 and they all work, just not sure how to get the aliases or however it needs to be approached to set them as their own domains.

Any help would be appreciated.

in your IIS configuration, make sure, all domain names are pointing to your DotNetNuke web site.

login as superuser (host) and in each of the child portals, enter site settings, scroll down to the far end and add the new address as additional portal alias. Done.

Hi Sebastian,

Would this be the same as editting the host file to point to the IP of the DNN installation? I adjusted my hosts file to have entries for each child portal like so:

10.10.10.10     www.portal1.com
10.10.10.10     www.portal2.com
10.10.10.10     www.portal3.com

Then under the portal alias I added the alias to each child portal as www.portal(x).com

Thanks for the quick response.

Hosts file is locally replacing a name server. But on your local IIS, if there are multiple web sites configured, you need to add the domain names as Host header values, where you specify your IP address for the site

I see, that makes sense.

I will try that and see what happens. Thanks again.
