I've had this exact problem occur to me (if you search the forum's many months back) and no one offered an explanation.  After many different ways, I gave up and tried a later version of DNN.  And it worked perfectly. 

My opinion is there is a bug in the code, which is why you'll get little response.  It seemingly gets fixed in later releases.  Thus, I no longer rush out and upgrade, but now take the approach to wait till 3 or 4 minor releases are made till I take the plunge.  Which necessitates the need for a test environment if your seriously running DNN in production.

Hmm, I doubt there's a bug that causes this behaviour. Having PortalAlias correcctly functioning is pretty crucial to DotNetNuke, so it isn't likely to be broke in a release version.

That said, you still have your problem... Have you made sure the cache is refreshed after you added the Alias? Otherwise the PortalAlias might not match the root of the dnn installation exactly. For example if you have it installed in a virtual folder, the alias should be: www.yourdomain.com/virtualdirectory

Stefan,

I appreciate your response.  But I just installed 4.7.0 and the problem explained earlier exists.  Everything I type into "Portal Alias" gets re-routed back to "localhost" or whatever I chose when I installed DNN.

I wiped it out and instaled 4.6.3 and it works perfectly.  As expected.

Wiped it out and tried 4.7.0 again and the problem exists.

Standard install, nothing special, following the instructions.  I've installed DNN probably 1000 times and this issue has happened to me only once before in the 4.3.x version.

Just my 2 cents.

For what its worth, make sure your host headers are defined correctly in the IIs properties for the instance of your web site and stop/start it after your changes. I would think localhost would be fine on the web server as long as its pointing to its own static IP address or its loopback address. I had a similar problem going from production to test and these were the underlying issues that caused me grief. Peter
