I have a setup with A public ip and the site is behind a firewall doing nat, so the server has a private ip/port pair.  Can't seem to get the public ip to work, keep trying to redirect to the private ip.

I have setup portal alias entries but they don't seem to be helping.

Is there a config key I can setup to force it...

Frank:

I have to ask you, how are you testing this?  Are you using the public IP address?  Or have you registered a domain name?

The reason I'm asking is because the router is doing what's supposed to so that the NAT magic takes place.  The thing is that the URL you use in your browser has to match a Host Header name for the Web site of your DNN installation and also must match an alias in DNN.  If one of these elements is out of sync the HTTP request will not go to the right place or DNN will not be able to match it with one of the portals.

To test this create a simple Test.htm file in the root of your DNN directory and see if you can browse it from the outside address.  Once that works, all you need is the DNN alias.

Hope this helps.

Static site is fine, viewed logo.gif with no problem.

I believe I found the issue, the key  <add key="UsePortNumber" value="true" />  was commented out and it appears it needs to be set to false.

 

Thanks

Frank
