Hi - Is there something that I'm overlooking in DotNetNuke or when you install DotNetNuke into a folder on your server and create your first pages, the link to your page is going to be super long? Is there a way within the software to have the pages create in the root folder? Or a way to move them there? Seems like there should be, but I can't seem to find it in the settings.

Thanks for your help!

 

Sure. Basically though you're saying that if I have the database setup correctly, that when I create pages it should go to the default.aspx page in the root. I probably don't have the DB setup correctly, and that's the problem.

Just to verify though, if I have Dotnetnuke setup correctly, when I create the homepage it should save it in whatever viritual folders it creates, but it will point it to the default.aspx. Am I understanding this correctly?

Entermatrix wants URL's to be like mydomain.com/page1 and mydomain.com/page2. This feature does not exist in DNN. You can turn off friendly URL's where everything is a querystring off default.aspx or you can turn on friendly URL's where your URL's are very long, but they are better for search engines -- since it makes it appear your site has physical directories (until the search engines decide to detect DNN and rank these sites differently).
