DNN 2.1.2 PortalAlias Problem

Losing my mind here...would appreciate some help finding it...

Trying to install DNN 2.1.2 and receive the following error message:

"Domain Name "www.ramminvestments.com/duncan/login" Does Not Exist In The Database"

I have been a good boy and followed the directions in DASP KB article "Q10215 - HOWTO: How do I install DotNetNuke v2.X on your server"? DNN 2.1.2 has been compiled on my local machine and works just fine.

Verified dbo.Portals.PortalAlias = "www.ramminvestments.com/duncan" in my database. Have also tried to enter "www.ramminvestments.com/duncan/login" in the column to no avail.

Thanks in advance for any relevant thoughts and hints!

 

The DNN database tables were most likely not propagated with data properly. Make sure that you initialize DNN on your live web site and not on your local machine.

 

Lukas,

Thanks for the thought.

Dropped all tables and re-initialized DNN. Verified all connection string point to production server and local MS SQL server instance is not running. Same error...[]

Any other thoughts would be appreciated...

 

I don't get an error when going to http://www.ramminvestments.com/duncan

 

Lukas,

Went through the entire installation process again. Worked like a champ! Not sure where I went wrong on the first couple installs.

Thanks for the help.

I'm preparing myself for the install as well:

I was reading on DotNetNuke about the following: Give Network Service read/write/execute/delete permission on the folder.

Did this step had to be executed at DiscountAsp.net?

How do I do that?



C. Permissions and Security
Before you run DotNetNuke for the first time, you need to grant the ASPNET user READ, WRITE, EXECUTE, and DELETE permissions on the folder that DotNetNuke resides in. If this is the "root" folder, you will need to apply the permissions on all files and folders. These are known as "Modify" permissions. Please note that if you are on a Windows 2003 machine, the ASPNET user is called NETWORK SERVICE.
Setting the permissions in this manner will allow you to have full functionality of DotNetNuke on your site. When you had modules from third parties or upload files from the admin section, the permissions we have just set will allow you to create (upload) the new files or allow the new module to have its files and folders created by DotNetNuke.

 

Any idea how to fix the rights problem without having being able to assign the network service account?

Also, how do I dump my database and reinitialize the whole DNN app folder?

Thanks!

No. We do not use the network service account for security reason.
