Re Portal Alias - forgot to add - doh!

As my deployed environment is far different from my local host I wanted a method of making a cloned DNN install of key sites on backup domains that I can then use to test and develop on.

I followed another post on procedures for this but did not add a new portal alias.
All seemed to work but of course the DB now points to the original alias.

I have now read Eriks useful blog and post http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/ForumsDotNetNuke/tabid/795/forumid/107/threadid/105609/scope/posts/Default.aspx
and see I have to get the ISP to cycle IIS.

Is there no method to change this via SQL management tools ?

Thanks

Hi Sebastian

Yes but I am unsure of how to do this - I have SQL management express and can connect to the DB but then I am stuck as I am unsure of how to add the record.

I think it may be easier to simply start again.

On a broader point - when doing this in future if I add the alias before I backup the DB will the source site remain unaffected ?

Excuse my ignorance - its just an area I have not needed to touch on before.

As ever thanks for your time - am really looking forward to filters in UDT

Ian
