Im a new user to DNN so bear with me please.

I have been trying to configure a parent portal for nearly a week and still no success. I have 15 years development behind me so cant believe this can be so difficult, given am no http header expert.

My installation is on www.myserver.com/subdir, where subdir is a configured application running .net 2.0

I have a url (not on the same server) called www.someurl.com i want to create a parent portal for.  My requirement is that when a user clicks on www.someurl.com the customer is looking at a dnn portal ive created in www.myserver.com/subdir but the customer thinks he is looking at  www.someurl.com because www.someurl.com is in the address bar.

1. Is that possible ?

I think it must be. So I set this up. I created the installation on www.myserver.com/subdir  (where subdir is a configured application) and i asked my webhost how to get www.someurl.com to look at my DNN installation, they recommended i use a .asp response redirect script , so I added:

<%Response.Buffer = True%>
<%Response.Redirect "http://www.myserver.com/subdir"%>

as an index.asp in www.someurl.com

The result is that www.someurl.com is redirected to http://www.myserver.com/subdir and the host page is displayed. How do i get www.someurl.com to be recognised by DNN so it can do its thing.

The portal parent is created I can see it in my portal settings, the http alias looks good ww.someutl.com is added in there. What am i doing wrong ! Please please please help!

The easiest way is to get an IIS website pointed directly at your DNN install instead of trying to run your DNN app out of a sub-directory.

The reason it isn't working now is because DNN will compare what is on the Url as it is being accessed to the portal aliases and since it took a re-direct to your sub-directory to get there, then that is what it will look at.

You're not going to be able to get rid of that subdir folder unless you have an IIS website setup that has your DNN install directory as it's home directory.

Thank you for taking the time to reply John

The subdirectory i have installed to is configured an an IIS application folder.
 
Could you find time to break this down for me using my example:
 
Your saying that "DNN will compare what is on the Url as it is being accessed" - (thats www.someurl.com) "to the portal aliases" www.someurl.com has been aded as a portal alias.
 
Would really appreciate it if you could help me get my head around this...
 
Thanks again
