Installed it on Vista 64 ultimate. In a directory called D:\websamples\dotnetnuke

Since then all my websites on my development system no longer work. What I see is that I now have two sites under IIS:

the standard 'Default Web SIte' and 'websamples'. The last one contains dotnetnuke. And is the only website that works on my system. All my virtual directories under 'default web site' no longer work, These virtual directories are all subdirectories of c:\inetpub\wwwroot. However if I try to open one of these sites, (using Browse from IIS), I get a 404 error, and the physicalpath it shows always starts with 'd:\websamples\...',  so for example I have a site named kwamutegen, located in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\kwamutegen, if I browse to this site I get a 404, resource not found, PhysicalPath: d:\websamples\kwamutegen.

If I look at the properties of the site it shows the correct directory, If I remove the site and add it again , the problem remains. One thing I noticed is that the icon in IIS next to websamples is the normal globe, while the icon next to 'Default Web SIte' is a globe with a tiny question mark.

Anyway to resolve this? Thanks Ben

you can only have a single web site called localhost and a number of subfolders

you may add additional web sites, but need to point a different name to it - locally by editing c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\host (add an alias websamples to localhost line), in your network by editing local name server.

Correct the location settings on the other sites.  Make sure you use separate IP addresses or ports for those sites.

Solved, Vista allows multiple websites. So DOTNETUKE created a new one called websamples, but also binded to localhost and port 80. So this second site took precedence over my 'Default Web SIte' . Changing the port number of the websamples site solved the problem. I dont know anymore what the install of dnn exactly asked but probably it asked a name and a port, and I used websamples and port 80 assuming that it would install under 'Default Web SIte'.

Thanks for the responses.

Ben
