Hi,

I have installed DNN 6.2.3 on Windows  Server 2003 on IIS 6 and I used port 82 as my default port number (I have to follow this because of my network administrator allow me to connect through this port for all of other websites), and after I finished I found that all links have the port number added to it, and I'm getting error if I'm using menu or admin/host panel

I uncomment "<add key="UsePortNumber" value="true" />" in web.config as they suggest on DotNetNuke Wiki
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/W...

Also I added all Portal alias that I know and choose the default without port 80 (www.cabshrsolutions.com):
www.mydomain.com:82
mydomain.com:82
www.mydomain.com:80
mydomain.com:80
www.mydomain.com
mydomain.com

also I added the server IP address to Portal alias

So still I'm not able to use my website, check the following live example for this problem, hover or try to click links on the menu or in the footer: http://www.cabshrsolutions.com/home.aspx

Regards,

Mohammad Owidat

Host Headers are the preferred option to route requests in IIS (instead of port numbers as with other web servers and IIS express).
Otherwise lease make sure you opened the port in your firewall.

Thank's Sebastian Leupold,

I tried that following instructions from the following: (Setting Host Headers in IIS 6.0- http://www.visualwin.com/host-header/ ) but with no result.

if you Open http://www.cabshrsolutions.com/Home.aspx

you can notice that all links still having port 82, example: in the main navigation Home, About Us, Benefits, Careers and Contact Us having links start with http://www.cabshrsolutions.com:82/

even for admin and host links still port 82 is appearing

The solutions is to disable Friendly Urls from:HOST SETTINGS > Advanced Settings > Friendly Url Settings > Use Friendly Urls (make it false - unchecked)

In this case you no longer will have friendly Url like: www.domain.com/en-US/home.aspx it will look like www.domain.com/Default.aspx?tabid=55&language=en-US

Also you will have DNS or page not found errors when ever you try to add, update, delete modules or when you log in, and all you need to do is to remove the port number from URL address and continue working.

But at least website is working for public.

I think that DNN redirection module should have some settings in the future so host administrator can turn off or ignore port number from all links to solve the problem of using other ports if Network administrators or ISP is blocking port 80.
