Hi

I have a developer install (VWD2008/ SSE2008) 

I've installed OK and got the default portal running fine, under http://localhost:4475/DNN/. In the admin settings for this portal the alias is localhost/dnn

So I want to create another Parent portal, so I go Host, Portals, Create Portal, Parent, which I want to call Portal7. for the alias I put localhost/dnn/portal7

It asks me to create a user so I do. The Portal apparently creates OK (ie. the user gets an email and there are no error messages) but when it redirects to http://localhost/dnn/portal7 it reports page not found. I've tried this several times with 04.09.x and 05.02.x and still the same thing.

Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong? I've tried various URLS such as removing the DNN, etc but I cant seem to get anything for the new portal. Or is this just because I am using VWD rather than IIS? 

Many thanks

Rob

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply.

I had also trried creating new parent portals with just localhost/parent7 too, with the same page not found result too ... But since I am just running VWD and do not have IIS with my current version of Windows I can't create virtual directories I presume? So this presumably means that I can't access any parent portals apart from the default one using VWD ? 

On a kind of similar related issue, I create a child portal using the alias localhost/dnn/child3

When I click on it I get Page cannot be found - the URL is http://localhost/dnn/child3

So I add the port (this is presumably the issue <add key="UsePortNumber" value="true" /> ) setting but I'm not too concerned about this issue

Anyway, when I do get to what I I think will be the child portal page -  http://localhost:4475/dnn/child3 

I get a 

The website declined to show this webpage
 HTTP 403
   Most likely causes:
This website requires you to log in.
 

This isnt what I was expecting ! Can you suggest what is going on here? I was hoping for the DNN home page here! 

Or is this just abnother issue due to using VWD ..? 

Many thanks in advance

Rob
