I am in the process of setting up a local test DNN site to test the upgrade of a 4.55 upgrade to 4.80. I wanted to refresh my memory on the steps it took and make sure the skins and everything worked properly before upgrading the production site for my client.

I configured my Server 2003 R2 IIS to be the following

    local path c:\dotnetnuke

application name:        DotNetNuke_4

Starting point     :        <default web site>\Dotnetnuke_4

now, the site installed find and i can access it with HTTP://localhost/dotnetnuke_4/ for the install and any site config. If i add the www.myurlsite.com to the HTTP alais, it will not access the site. IF i add www.myurlsite.com/dotnetnuke_4 to the HTTP alais table, it accesses the site fine with the URL. What am i missing? I would prefer to keep the main www.myurlsite.com and not have to put the suffix on but i have been at it the whole day and know i am overlooking something. I have tried removing the application name but i thought i remember reading that IIS needed something in there? Any post holiday help is greatly appriciated.

Thank you,

Dean
