Hello,
I have tried three times to create a child portal in my DNN Install.  My main website is:  http://www.pwcparks.org.  I want my child to be:  http://www.pwcparks.org/lifematters.

I am using dnn 4.8.4.  I select "child" for the portal and put in the name after the forward slash.  I select the DotNetNuke template.  I correctly fill out all fields.

Each time I try create a child portal, I receive the following errors:

Error parsing Admin TemplateIndex was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index at System.Collections.ArrayList.get_Item(Int32 index) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.ModuleController.GetModuleDefinition(XmlNode nodeModule) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.ModuleController.DeserializeModule(XmlNode nodeModule, XmlNode nodePane, Int32 PortalId, Int32 TabId, PortalTemplateModuleAction mergeTabs, Hashtable hModules) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabController.DeserializePanes(XmlNode nodePanes, Int32 PortalId, Int32 TabId, PortalTemplateModuleAction mergeTabs, Hashtable hModules) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabController.DeserializeTab(String tabName, XmlNode nodeTab, TabInfo objTab, Hashtable hTabs, Int32 PortalId, Boolean IsAdminTemplate, PortalTemplateModuleAction mergeTabs, Hashtable hModules) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs.TabController.DeserializeTab(XmlNode nodeTab, TabInfo objTab, Hashtable hTabs, Int32 PortalId, Boolean IsAdminTemplate, PortalTemplateModuleAction mergeTabs, Hashtable hModules) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.ParseTab(XmlNode nodeTab, Int32 PortalId, Boolean IsAdminTemplate, PortalTemplateModuleAction mergeTabs, Hashtable& hModules, Hashtable& hTabs, Boolean IsNewPortal) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.ParseTabs(XmlNode nodeTabs, Int32 PortalId, Boolean IsAdminTemplate, PortalTemplateModuleAction mergeTabs, Boolean IsNewPortal) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.ParseTemplate(Int32 PortalId, String TemplatePath, String TemplateFile, Int32 AdministratorId, PortalTemplateModuleAction mergeTabs, Boolean IsNewPortal) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.CreatePortal(String PortalName, String FirstName, String LastName, String Username, String Password, String Email, String Description, String KeyWords, String TemplatePath, String TemplateFile, String HomeDirectory, String PortalAlias, String ServerPath, String ChildPath, Boolean IsChildPortal)


Any ideas?  It does create the folder with a default.aspx file in it, but that's about it.  When I try to navigate to the child portal, it redirects to my home website address (http://www.pwcparks.org)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

ummm....bump?

Mark,

I think that this one ought to be reported to the DotNetNuke team. I haven't seen anything like this, and your description of how you did it seems correct.

Just for fun -- which version of DotNetNuke are you using?
