I just opened a new account with Godaddy and installed DNN.  I have the site built but can only access it by going to www.domain.com/DotNetNuke/.  How do I get it to open the site by just going to www.domain.com?  I have tried a multitude of setting, aliases, and forwarding URLs but nothing.  Any help would be appreciated.

My lead ran into this problem at work.  DNN was originally installed to look at the viability of the technology, so it was installed with our url then /DNN.  Once we kicked the site live, we didn't want to have to do all of the work to convert over to not having the /DNN plus is doesn't work well with out server install to have the base with all the DNN code in it, as we have many applications that aren't DNN.  My lead figured out how to add a redirect in the META information.  The code he used is below.  It work well, from an ADA standpoint it isn't the best method, but it is the only solution we have been able to find.  When a user enters the address http://yoursiteurl into the browser this redirects it to http://yoursiteurl/dnn.  Hope this helps.

Please disregard. After a little more work this morning, I found that Godaddy will not put DNN in the root directory and so you must modify a copy their "Welcome.html" file that is placed in the customer's root "c" dirve directory and ftp it to the root directory on Godaddy to get it to work.  This is my first experience hosting with Godaddy and with a windows based CMS.  I would suspect that go Godaddy get asked this question a lot, but their customer service people acted as if they had no idea what I was asking and directed me back to do some more internet research on the topic.  Anyway it is real pretty simple.

1) I opened the "Welcome.html" document in the root directory of my "c" drive with Notepad (If you don't have a Welcome file in the root drive you could create one with any of several word processing programs that will save as a web page)

2) Typed in the following code: (yellow highlights would be modified to new site's info)
<html>
<head>
<title>web site name</title>
<center><H1>Loading Web Site Name Home Page</H1></CENTER>
<P>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.domain name.com/dotnetnuke"></HEAD>
<BODY>
</html>

3) Saved the it back to the "Welcome.html"

4) Used Godaddy's FTP file transfer to upload the new- "Welcome.html" to the sitess root directory on Godaddy

5) That's it.

Hope this might be of help to others.
