Quick Background: I'm running server 2003 standard and opened port 8082 on my router and assigned an alias domain to my public IP so that clients can proof their site prior to transferring data to a hosting provider.
I've installed DNN 5.1 and have the VD's running on port 8082. Tested localhost:8082/sitename and all is good. I logged in as host and added portal alias domain/sitename and then logged in to SQL 2005 Express and modified the portalAlias table to read domain:8082/sitename. I also uncommented
in the web.config file.
Now when I go to domain:8082/sitename the initial page loads just fine but if I try to click on any links I get nothing but HTTP 404 errors, i.e. Requested URL: /sitename/Login.aspx
Also, if I go to localhost:8082/sitename I'm redirected to localhost/sitename. I tried adding the port number into the portalAlias table for that URL, but then I'm told to clear cookies as there has been too many redirects. Even after I clear cookies, I can't get the page to load in any case.
What am I doing wrong or what can I do to fix this?
