When you create a new web site in IIS 7.0 you have to select an nonstandard port ( not 80 ) i.e. 85.

You then access your site with http::/localhost:85/, when run first time it successfully install dnn.

When I select 'Login' dnn fail's to show the login page due to that it dosn't preserve the port number. It comes up with (http::/localhost/ Home/tabid.....) missing the port number in the host, should be (http::/localhost:85/ Home/tabid.....).
The web.config file has default preserveport=true.

I have tried with both 4.9.3 and 5.00.01 both failing on IIS 7.0

If I on IIS 5.1 switch port to port 85 on the default web site and add both 4.9.3 and 5.00.01 as virtualDirectories, dnn is preserving the port number.

any ideas

Why are you having to select a non-standard port?  Do you already have a site running on port 80?  You can always add a new IP address to run a second site on port 80, or use host headers.

Also, don't install from "localhost" or you run into issues right away.  Nobody will ever access it as "localhost" so why install that way?  Install from a valid URL.

Your real issue is that the portal alias doesn't have the port number included.  Add a new portal alias that includes the port number.
