How to install the ASP.NET 2.0 DotNetNuke 4.3.1

1) I have other applications running in the site
2) Root installationis not recommended by DASP

 

Thanks for your reply but if you read the thread above you will see that the procedure has already been recommended by DASP.I just need a rewriting rule. Would appreciate it if you would refer this to a DNN specialist. Thank you.

 

If you read the thread above you will see thatscriptsredirectinga domain name requestto the /dotnetnuke subdirectory have already been discussed.

Simple logic:
1) DASP will not point a domain name to a subdirectory
2) DASP recommends installing DNN in a subdirectory
3) DASP says to use a script to route the request to a subdirectory.

The result of the above is that the /dotnetnuke subdirectory appears in the URL for every DNN site, which is undesired behavior.

4) DASP says to use URL rewriting to remove the subdirectory from the path.
5) DotNetNuke comes with a default URL rewriting module.
6) A rewriting module in the /dotnetnuke subdirectory should not affect other applications on the site, because only requests that reach the subdirectorywill beaffected.

It would seem that every DASP customer who uses DNN faces this same simple issue. I'd appreciate help with a rewriter rule from anyone. Thank you.

 

DEAR DASP -

IF I CAN'T GET A DECENT ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION I WILL CHANGE MY HOSTING PROVIDER TO SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP ME.

THANK YOU.

 

Steve, I am wanting to do the same thing as you, I am confused though why the suggestions for URL rewritewon't work? Is it because the DNN portal alias is pointing to the domain root with out the subfolder?
Have you searched or asked how to do this in the DNN Forums?

They already lost me. I'm moving my DNN installation to PowerDNN. Com

DASP has given me good service up until now, but DNN is apparently not an area of their expertise.

 

Steve,

If you don't mind can you tell me what kind of solution you came up with for the URL?
How does moving to a new Hosting company solve the problem with installing to a subdirectory?

Thanks,

I don't know whether DASP can accomodate this, but the following code appears in my web.config file at PowerDNN



<appSettings>



<add key="HostHeader" value="" />


</appSettings>


<!-- Host Header to remove from URL so "www.mydomain.com/johndoe/Default.aspx" is treated as "www.mydomain.com/Default.aspx" -->
Might be worth a try. It might be something that the other hosting company built, but ifyou search google on

add key="HostHeader" value=""

a bunch of hits are returned.
