luden --

My site is fully functional including forums, using the GoDaddy auto-installation of DNN 4.0 . I can help you to a large degree since (by your posts) you seem to be confronting the same issues I did when I brought up my site on GoDaddy shared hosting. I will help in any way I can. You would be doing me a favor to create a log-in at my site (which is still brand new) and ask me questions there in the appropriate forum. I am certain I can save you many hours of hunting and experimentation. My site is commonmancomputing.com .

Thanks,
Travis

Jim,

The forum notifications on these forums don't seem to be working, and it was just pure luck that I happened to log in and see your post!

Anyway, I have research the answer to your question about redirecting the domain name/home page on a shared hosting site using GoDaddy. I did it successfully a few months ago, but had since forgotten the details.

I posted on my site explaining how to get around this GoDaddy annoyance. Also, I'd like for you to look at my site again, regarding the Copyright notice. I think I still have it there, so please explain further your second question.

The site is
commonmancomputing.com

Thanks!
Travis

I found the following script on forums.asp.net that allows for redirect to the DNN folder from the root level of the site. This is much easier that trying to reinstall DNN at the root folder.

Delete the welcome.html file at the root level of your site. Save the following scripts as default.asp. Enter your domain name in the appropriate places and replace DNN with the name of the folder in which you have installed DNN. Then ftp this file over to the root account.

It should work immediately. God Bless APROTOCALL at forums.asp.net for providing this neat solution.
