Hi, i am a newbie to DNN but have some experience with web development.
Situation:OS: Vista Ultimate
IIS: 7
DDN Version: 5.0I set up another web site using IIS Manager named DNN using port 8081. So http:\\localhost:8081\ brings up the default.aspx page for the installation. However after this the site address drops the port number. If i manually keep inserting the port number into the url everything is fine but obviously this is unacceptable.
Attempt 01: I tried enabling the <add key="UsePortNumer" value="True"> option but now i am getting an error
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalSettings..ctor(Int32 tabID, PortalAliasInfo objPortalAliasInfo) +53
DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewriteModule.OnBeginRequest(Object s, EventArgs e) +2561
System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +79
System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +176
Attempt 02: Manually added to the PortalAlias in the DB
the portalAlias table now has two entries 1. localhost and 2. localhost:8081 both having the same PortalID
but same error even after restarting iis to ensure nothing was cached
Question: Can anyone point me in the right direction here?
