My head is getting sore from banging it on my desk...

Some information that may help:
I've got a clean install of DNN 4.3.5 running on Windows Server 2003. There is no website or header configured for the default website in IIS and DNN is installed in a virtual directory off the default site called DotNetNuke. I can access DNN locally with localhost/dotnetnuke. In attempting to get things working over the 'net I have set up portal aliases in DNN for www.domainname.co.uk, the server's IP address and www.domainname.co.uk/dotnetnuke. The latter is the only one that works; the others just take me to the 'Under construction' page kicked out by the IIS for the default website. The question is what do I need to do to get the portal running on just the domain name without the /dotnetnuke being appended? Is it a caching issue with DNN? I've restarted the website and IIS several times with no joy. Is it an IIS issue? Something in the web.config file?

Please help! ;-)

Thanks,

Pete

DNN is installed in a virtual directory off the default site called DotNetNuke.



If you've got DNN configured within IIS as a Virtual Directory then you will always have to browse to the site by appending /DotNetNuke to whatever hostname you have the IIS Website listening too.

Have you tried reconfiguring IIS to have DNN running off the root of the Default Web Site (e.g. change the Document Root of the default web site to point to the DNN install root).  Or create a fresh IIS Web Site and configure it with the document root pointing to your DNN install root.

Hope this helps.

You need to setup this DNN installation in it's own IIS website instead of having it run under the default website.

In IIS manager create a new website (not a virtual directory) and point it's home directory to the folder that DNN is in.

OK thanks - I'll give that a go.

It would be helpful if the installation instructions were a little more clear on this and give options for such circumstances. :)
