Hi,

I'm still pretty new to DNN but am looking to do the following:

Move my DNN install from a sub directory into the root ( my host company only maps on directory...the root ).

From www.mysite.com/DNN to www.mysite.com

From what I can tell this should be pretty straight forward, can anyone let me know if I missed something.  I'm not sure if I'll run into issues with my Portal Alias.

1) Check that the Root and DNN directories have the same permissions

2) Backup

3) Place html file called app_offline.htm into the DNN directory, taking the site offline.

4) Update the database table containing the Portal Alias from mysite.com/DNN to simply mysite.com

5) Move the contents of the current DNN folder into the root

6) Remove the app_offline.htm file and point a browser at the default.aspx file.

Can anyone suggest anything I've missed?  Since this is a hosted environment I can not restart IIS.

Since the Web.config will be moved after the database table containing the portal alias is updated with this count as an application restart?

Thanks in advance

You seem to have a pretty good handle on things.

You can add the portal alias via the site if you would like prior to moving it!  To save you from making a direct DB modification.

Also, you are correct that the new saving of the web.config file will successfully restart the application!

what about all the img links? They are not working after i move site to root.

What are options? IIS rewrite outbound rule? Maybe SQL script for content?


Thanks
