Hi lee,

 

I would like to share a dilemma which I encounter and successfully found a solution to. I sure is a newbie case so please excuse me. First I created a website with the new version of DotnetNuke 4.3.3 I then follow your tutorials on how to upload skin and containers. At one point base on the tutorial I had to build a new portal (a child portal) to understand how I can install a skin to the different portals within my DotNetNuke installation.

 

After everything went well I shutdown my computer left and came back to run my website and got the error “page cannot be displayed” or “Cannot find server or DNS Error dotnetnuke”.

 

This is something new to me although I understood that the locahost port changes every time the computer is shutdown or for some amount of time when it shutdown.

 

Since I am using an intranet in my case only one computer and not a network things did not get as complicate as I imagine.

 

Is very simple

 

I went into my Database explorer opened the Tables folder and looked for PortalAlias right clicked it and click on show table data. Under table HTTPAlias I notice that the port number was different from the one VWD Express was assigning to my website url, thus I copied the port assigned by VWD and paste it on the on HTTPAlias saved and continued my website and everything went well

 

If there is anything you would like to add I would greatly appreciated…

 

Thank you,

That sound great!!! But I am not to sure I know how to do this. base on what I under stand this has to do with changing "locahost" to for example "127.0.0.1" if this is incorrect can you please show me how, step by step if possible or just be more specific.  

Thanks youngboy

 

I would really appreciated.
