Yes, I know that the installation is not on the root, but this is where I was instructed to put it. Although not as direct as desired, this location was not causing problems before.
Yes, I have double-checked that the Default Alias is connect.bayltd.com/bayconnection. This has not changed.
I added text to the login control by using Admin>Languages and then clicking on the pencil icon that says Site. There is a box that says "Resource Name: MESSAGE_LOGIN_INSTRUCTIONS.Text". I entered the text there.
When I try to navigate to: http://connect.bayltd.com/bayconnecti..., the login page does NOT come up. The only valid path to the login page seems to be: http://connect.bayltd.com/bayconnecti....
I think it is also significant that the user gets a "Page Not Found" message when logging out. Shouldn't the user return to the login page when they log out?
I respect your suggestion to use a custom login page. This problem (with not being able to get to the login page from the site URL) surfaced today. To my knowledge, it did not exist prior to that.
Yesterday, I was attempting to modify the text I had put on the Login page. It took me quite a while to figure out that I had originally entered the text using the Admin>Languages feature. During my efforts yesterday, I DID attempt to create a custom login page. However, I do not seem to have the DNN Login Module in my list of available modules. Therefore, I downloaded and attempted to use the free module, GP_Hosting_login_01.02.00. Unfortunately, that module is very limited and does not offer the "Remember Login" and "Retrieve Password" features that the standard DNN login module has.
So...This leaves me with my current problem. I do not see any indicatin (from file date information) that I accidently modified any files. When comparing the file structure to a previous backup, I don't see that any are missing.
My one fear is that, in my attempt to use the GP_Hosting_login module, I made a database change that is causing this problem.
I really need to find an answer!
