Hi,

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your help. Perhaps I should explain better. I have to build 2 separated sites. I own the domain santapepa.com. The 2nd site (cr5) will have its own domanin in the future. By now I'm building it inside santapepa. I'm having a hard time with all this thing of subdomains and child portals. I only want to know a easy way to work with cr5, as I can't access it.

Santapepe,

you can create a second (third, fourth...) parent portal (not a child portal) on the same installation of DNN. Therefore you need this subdomain (or C-NAME). If you do it this way, there are many advantages:

1) Adding a new domainname is no problem at all.
2) If you decide to move this second protal to an own installation, it is quite easy to separate the portals.

A child portal appears as a "subdirectory" of the main portal (like www.mydomain.com/childportal), but as any other portal, it has it's own userbase etc. I never found any advantage in doing so.

But what you want is definitely a second (parent) portal on the same installation. Do this by the following steps:

1) enter the host header in the IIS, i.e. cr5.santapepe.com
2) In System :: Site Management, click "Add New Site"
3) Select Parent, enter cr5.santapepe.com as the site alias and enter the other fields as you like. If you do not want to start with the bike shop, choose the "Blank Website" template.

Best wishes
Michael
