I installed DNN 4.0.2 with SQL 2005 express successfully. I can go to my site, www.domainname.com, and my DNN home page is shown. When I go to click on any other link, it redirects to my local server IP address which is where DNN was installed (http://10.x.x.x/login/home/tabid.... instead of  http://www.domainname.com/login/home/tabid/.... ). This happens to all the links on the site.

I went to the Host account, then the portals page to enter a portal alias. My local server IP address, 10.x.x.x , was already entered as the alias, which I could not delete. I went ahead and entered my own alias, www.domainname.com, which was now listed second. I then restarted IIS, went back to the page with the same results on the redirect. No liuck.

I then reinstalled DNN using a custom entry in the dotnetnuke.install.config file for my own portal alias, www.domainname.com. After a successful installation, I could even bring the page up at all.

More information......

I have installed this into the "default website" of IIS. Not a Virtual directory. Not sure if this creates a problem. I also manually went to the portalalias table and entered my url - www.domainname.com. It already had my local address enterd in the table. I have tried my url - www.domainname.com entered first and second.

Wow..... exhausted what I know, which is not much.

Please help anyone..........

I am confused........ What am I doing wrong????

Any ideas, and I mean any, would be greatly appreciated!!!!

In IIS you should have an entry of a website with www.domainname.com
so when a request for this domain comes in IIS passes it to dnn, in DNN so long you have the URL listed it should just work.


I have not played much with 4.x but unless it is a bug it should work just like 3.x
Also one method I rather like is to leave the first install as localhost only so the first install of a new dnn remains localhost and only visible from the server. The subsequent portal that actually goes to your www.domainname.com will be as a new parent portal. This approach has saved me many times in the past as in the event of a portal becoming corrupt I dont lose the whole install. I can still getinto it via localhost and see what is going on.

Salar,

Do you mean rename "default website" to www.mydomainname.com or setup a new website named www.mydomainname.com or finally setup a virtual website named www.mydomainname.com ?

Thanks

Cdttg

Also after tying this, I am going to try the parent portal option.
