Hi,

I just installed DNN6.  It created a default website for me.  The default website alias is localhost:19131.

Now, I want to create a new website.

 I logon as host, go to Host->Site Management. 

Then i go to Manage->Edit->Add New Site.

I have no idea what I'm supposed to enter for the website alias parameter.  Nothing works.   I don't have a domain name.  I just want to create a test website on my development box to play around with.  What do I need to do?

Thanks in Advance,

Donny

if you want to use multi website feature of dotNetNuke, you need to have multiple names pointing to your IIS website. localhost is the default name for your machine and the number the current port for your web server (usually used by IIS express or Cassini). you may edit %system%/drivers/etc/hosts file to assign multiple names to your local web server and might subsequently access the sites by the names, i.e. if you specifies "DNN" in your hosts file you may access the site by calling "http://dnn:19131"
