Re: Parent Portal

make sure, the domain address is pointing to the same IP address and the IIS web server assings it to your web site where DNN is installed. DNN will take care to display the proper portal in a multiportal installation. You might need to assign the domain to the web site using the hosting panel of your hosting company.

Re: Parent Portal

Ah i think i understand.

So, my domain is. www.example.com asn i have DNN installed on www.example.com/AA ------- so www.example2.com DNS name server is pointing towards www.example.com but because DNN is installed in the AA, I get the 403 error message.

Does that make sense?
