Hi,

The url "intranet.multi-value.com/login.aspx" works fine, no problem.
But "intranet.multi-value.com" gives next dotnetnuke error:

"Domain name does not extist in the database"

Could someone help me with this?
Thanks

You have intranet.multi-value.com set up as a domain alias pointing to multi-value.com and also set up as a portal alias?

I am not an expert on this but I will give you the situation as far as I know.

multi-value.com is a completely different website, it has nothing to do with the dotentnuke website on which intranet.multi-value.com is located.
There is a A record pointing to a server with the dotnetnuke website(intranet.multi-value.com)on it.
Only one portal(0) exists, the portal alia is intranet.multi-value.com

Didn't think that was possible as you would normally have portal0 as multi-value.com with, say, portal1 as intranet.multi-value.com as a domain alias pointing to multi-value.com and intranet.multi-value.com as a portal alias. I've done a few of these but I may not be totally conversant with the subject. Do you actually own the domain multi-value.com?

My boss owns www.multi-value.com.
www.multi-value.com is an other website, hosted by a web company that created our website (they use php and work with dotnetnuke).

Since that website costs a lot of money i made a new website running at our server. We are with 10 employees working in different countries in Europe. So I try to convince them that an website accessible only by us is a good way to share information.

I thought it was a good idea not no take an new domain name but intranet.multi-value.com. Our web company created an A record for me that points to our server.

It works all fine, only the url intranet.multi-value.com gives an domain error.
In xmod pro it also get the same error and that will probably be solved when the url intranet.multi-value.com works fine.

OK, that makes sense but I don't know how (or if) that configuration works in DNN. I expect Joseph knows or you can ask on the dotnetnuke.com forums as well.

I find this:

Name: intranet.multi-value.com
Address: 81.83.17.42

Name: multi-value.com
Address: 83.96.229.103

It would be helpful to see the contents of the portalalias table at intranet.multi-value.com.

If would also be helpful if you could describe how IIS is setup for intranet.multi-value.com. Are there any host headers?

When I installed dotnetnuke the the name of the website I used was "Dotnetnuke", later it was changed to "intranet.multi-value.com".
Maybe this is the cause?

Host headers are used. More websites are running on the ISS.

I will send you the requested info by mail.

If you can get to the Host, SQL page use this query: select * from portalalias

That should show you what is in the table.

If you can't get to that page, use SQL Server Management Studio to run the query. If you need to add an entry to the portalalias table, you can do it with SQL Server Management Studio, too.

Attached the information of the table.

Luc let me login at this site ...

The problem occurs because the home page is set to be visible only to members of certain security roles. Thus, when you try to browse to the site, you get an error because DotNetNuke can't show you the page that it thinks that it should try to show us.

The solution is to make the home page visible to unauthenticated users ... or to redirect unauthenticated users to the Login page. The latter can be done with some custom code (jQuery in a text/HTML module), but the home page needs to be visible to unauthenticated users.

you could always hide the content on the home page from logged out users, or add a login module to the homepage.

That is an excellent suggestion.

Well, that was a great explanation from me, but it's not the right one. Still looking ...
