Hey guys...following up on the original question...if DNN is installed on a localhost, how would the second parent installation be addressed/accessed? I'm having a devil of a time figuring that out. Here's what I have...
* DNN is installed in the virtual path /DNN on the server DNNSERVER. I can access the initial install as
http://DNNSERVER/DNN no problem.
* I defined a CNAME record (named dnnsite) to point to DNNSERVER. When I enter 'http://dnnsite' I get the default IIS page. I have to add the /DNN to get the root DNN installation. That makes sense to me.
* When I create a child site, I can address that as 'http://dnnsite/dnn/childsite'.
* When I create a parent site, I can't address it at all.
So, the questions...
Q1: How would I set it up so that I don't have to specifiy /DNN in the?
Q2: How does the DNS or IIS have to be set up to address other parent sites? I've seen other topics/notes that say to point the new domain (i.e. mynewdomain.local) to the DNN server, but I don't understand how to get it to reference the new site...let's call it 'newparent'. I think I'm stuck on something simple with DNS or the IIS config, neither of which are real strong for me. It feels like I need a re-direct or something in here to give the DNN install the info for the proper parent folder to display.
Any help/pointers greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Chris
