I am trying to setup a new portal for an existing DNN Installation (04.08.04).  When setting up a parent portal, what do you put in the home directory?  For example, My installation is at http://www.carsonboy.net/home and I want my new domain http://www.c2fishing.com to point to a new portal within my existing DNN install.  Does this make sense?  I don't know what to put in the home directory box, but if I leave it as default I'm not sure how to access the new portal.  Thanks for any help you guys can give.

I was going to take a stab at answering this but when I click on the links in your post I see that it would appear you got it working.

Home directory as in IIS?  You don;'t set up a new site in IIS.  To create a new parent portal, configure DNS so the new host/domain name points to the same IP as your existing site in DNN.  Then in DNN, create a new portal and add that same host/domain name as the portal alias.  That's it.
