After all the scripts have run and the application has installed (it said "updating" but i guess its the same thing) i got these errors when accessing the portal. Any tips on what i have don wrong? ----------------- DotNetNuke Error Domain Name Windows Server 2008 Does Not Exist In The Database DotNetNuke supports multiple portals from a single database/codebase. It accomplishes this by converting the URL of the client browser Request to a valid PortalID in the Portals database table. The following steps describe the process: Web Server Processing When a web server receives a Request from a client browser, it compares the file name extension on the target URL resource to its Application Extension Mappings defined in IIS. Based on the corresponding match, IIS then sends the Request to the defined Executable Path ( aspnet_asapi.dll in the case of ASP.NET Requests ). The aspnet_isapi.dll engine processes the Request in an ordered series of events beginning with Application_BeginRequest. HttpModule.URLRewrite OnBeginRequest ( UrlRewriteModule.vb ) The Request URL is parsed based on the "/" character A Domain Name is constructed using each of the relevant parsed URL segments. Examples: URL: http://www.domain.com/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.domain.com URL: http://209.75.24.131/default.aspx = Domain Name: 209.75.24.131 URL: http://localhost/DotNetNuke/default.aspx = Domain Name: localhost/DotNetNuke URL: http://www.domain.com/virtualdirectory/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.domain.com/virtualdirectory URL: http://www.domain.com/directory/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.domain.com/directory Using the Domain Name, the application queries the database ( Portals table - PortalAlias field ) to locate a matching record. Note: If there are multiple URLs which correspond to the same portal then the PortalAlias field must contain each valid Domain Name in a comma seperated list. Example: URL: http://localhost/DotNetNuke/default.aspx URL: http://MACHINENAME/DotNetNuke/default.aspx URL: http://209.32.134.65/DotNetNuke/default.aspx PortalAlias: localhost/DotNetNuke,MACHINENAME/DotNetNuke,209.32.134.65/DotNetNuke Note: If you are installing the application to a remote server you must modify the PortalAlias field value for the default record in the Portals table according to the rules defined above.

What did you name your portal, and what URL did you use to try to see it?

Sorry about the mashed together chunk of text. Im not sure how to keep the format when i paste it in to the text box.

Im still learning how to install DNN so im not sure what you are asking about.

The URL to see it is
http://www.dnn.flashandasp.net/

As for naming it, i have not been given the chance to name the portal. Should i have done it at this stage?
I am trying to install to a host server using PLESK control panel.
Thanks for your help. Installing is indeed confusing.

Next, look at the table named portalalias in your database.  You should have a tool that lets you do that.  Let me know what is in it.

It would also be interesting to see how you got to this point.  Have you gone through the install wizard, or do you get this first?
