Hello everyone

 So basically I accidentally set our dotnetnuke website to "Redirect" under portal alias. And now our website doesn't load (http://www.bioscience.org/dotnetnuke2). Can anyone tell me how I can edit the portal alias without having access to host settings? or a solution to this? please help asap! muchhh appreciated.

 Also, I'm not too savvy with things like SQL. After doing a google search, I read that I needed to tamper with SQL so if you could provide details on how to approach this many thanks (I don't even know how to connect to the correct server, etc.). I don't know what file to edit etc as well.

How can I access the "PortalAlias" table that people are referring to?

hi,
the tools to connect to Database is the good one, but you have to connect to the database used by dotnetnuke. Your picture show you are looking in the db temdb witch is a SQL system Database. Your dnn database could be one of the ones begining with 28_ ...(not a system one)
To know whitch  / where is your dotnetnuke database, try to find (by ftp or TSE acces to your server) the web.config file. In this file , you'll find the connection string use by your dotnetnuke application, and with these parameters (Server, DB, user, login) you can connect to the good database with SQL Studio management.
Once your connected to the good db, you 'll found tables and data.
HTH

I have problems with this feature and DNN 7.2.2:   I changed the setting to "Redirect" and  was unable to get to my website.   I used SQL Server Management Studio to fix the problem.

I recommend the following SQL code:

SELECT * FROM dbo.PortalSettings
     WHERE SettingName = 'PortalAliasMapping'


UPDATE PortalSettings SET SettingValue = 'CANONICALURL'
     WHERE SettingName = 'PortalAliasMapping'
