Hi all,

I have DotNetNuke installed on a shared hosting account and I'm running several portals from one installation. Each portal has its own domain name, the PortalId for each domain is as follows:-

0 = sinconta.com/dnn
1 = friendsofthechurchyard.org.uk/dnn
3 = beastlings.com/dnn

I purchased an SSL certificate for beastlings.com and it is all set up properly. I can successfully access files in my web space from either http://www.beastlings.com/... or https://www.beastlings.com/...

The problem arises when I try to access DotNetNuke via SSL. If I try to connect to https://www.beastlings.com/dnn then I get redirected to https:/www.sinconta.com/dnn - I can't understand why this is happening? Can anybody explain why I may be getting redirected to portal 0?

Thanks,
Adam

I did some packet traces to find out what is going on with this problem.

1) Initially there is an HTTP POST (this is the ASP.NET PostBack that occurs when clicking the Login LinkButton)

2) Sometime later the web browser issues an HTTP GET for the path /dnn/Login/tabid/269/Default.aspx?returnurl=%2fdnn%2fDefault.aspx

3) In response to the GET, the server sends back an HTTP 302 Found response stating that the resource has temporarily moved to https://www.beastlings.com/dnn/Login/tabid/269/Default.aspx?returnurl=%2fdnn%2fDefault.aspx.

4) So it all seems to be working as expected up until this point - DotNetNuke has redirected us to https://www.beastlings.com/. The SSL connection is then established, but due to the fact it is encrypted I can't see what happens inside the SSL connection... but at some during the SSL connection we are then redirected to https://www.sinconta.com/.

Do you know of any way to debug what is happening inside an SSL connection?

 

I have actually given up on this problem. The technical folks at my shared hosting company haven't been able to help me. There has been no response on this forum to anything that I've posted.... I don't think I'll be recommending DotNetNuke to any clients anymore, if you get stuck with something then you really do hit a dead end.

I've decided not to use SSL with my DotNetNuke site anymore and have requested a refund for the SSL certificate - a very bitter taste remains in my mouth.

I have recently started using WordPress and I am totally amazed at the vibrance of the community and how easy it is to find help.

Hi,

Maybe not helpful anymore, but every domain needs an own ip number otherwise ssl will not work. You can also install a multiple domain certficate on one ip number. Maybe your hosting company does not know that.
