Hello, I'm new to DNN. I installed and built my site in a subdirectory, mysite.com/dotnetnuke. I got my site looking good and acting the way I wanted. This site isn't for business or anything....I'm getting married so I put together a quick wedding website. Because it's not really important that the site be perfect I thought I could just use a simple html redirect: <script type="text/javascript"> <br /> window.location.href='https://www.mysite.com/dotnetnuke'; <br /> </script> <br /> </head> <br /> <body>This page has moved to <a href="https://www.mysite.com/dotnetnuke">https://www.mysite.com/dotnetnuke</a> <br /> </body> <br /> </html> <br /> <br /> This wasn't working. It site kept displaying my maintenance page. So I checked the "site management" part of DNN. There I saw the redirect option. Listed under site aliases was mysite.com/dotnetnuke. I added mysite.com to the list. Then I clicked redirect and selected mysite.com. I thought this would take the traffic from mysite.com and redirect it to mysite.com/dotnetnuke. <br /> <br /> Currently, when I go to either mysite.com or mysite.com/dotnetnuke I get the original maintenance page. I can't access a login portal to chance the "site management" settings to fix the problem. I have full access to the site files and have deleted the html page. This didn't help. Can someone please walk me through the fix for this issue? <br /> <br /> Thank you very much for your help! |

Where is that script installed? Is your DNS set up correctly? Also, make sure that the Portal Alias (In the Admin, Site Settings page) is set for the actual URL. |

Also, what is "the original maintenance page"? Is that a DNN page? Or is it something else? |

Hello Joe, The DNS is working correctly - the site was working fine before I tried to redirect things. The problem is definitely with Portal Alias. That's the setting I changed which made the problem. The issue I'm facing now is that I can't get back to the Portal Alias (Admin, Site Settings page). When I try to navigate to the website (either mywebsite.com or mywebsite.com/dotnetnuke) the page which loads is blank with the word "maintenance" written on the web browser's tab. I have subsequently removed the script and html page I was using to try and redirect the traffic from mywebsite.com to mywebsite.com/dotnetnuke. So that's not contributing to the problem any more. The problem started when I added a Portal Alias (mywebsite.com) and checked the "redirect" option on the Site Settings page. Is it possible to delete the Portal Alias I added and change the "redirect" option in the database? That should fix the problem. Where are the Portal Alias kept in the database? Thank you again. |

Portal aliases are stored in the table portalalias. The "redirect" option is in table portalsettings. Look for the setting PortalAliasMapping. Also look at DefaultPortalAlias. |
