Multiple Portals - What are the server side requirement?6/30/2005 7:25:22 PM

0

Hi All - I am fairly new to DNN & created site on my local pc running as client /serever.   Pretty cool. 

As you're aware, one of the best new features in DNN is the ability to host multiple domains (portals) under the same dotnet umbrella.  There are 2 ways to do this 1) as a child of the current parent or 2) as a separate site. 

 

What do I need to do on the server side? 

 

1) I suspect I will need to create an new virtual (web) directory called widget.  Is this a correct assumption?

 

2) I suspect I will need to modify the webconfig file.  Is this a correct assumption and if so, please advise.

 

3) Do I need to do anything on with SQL Server or will it share the same databases?

 

4) Is there anything else I am missing, other advice or references you can provide?

 

 

5) Once this is done will it work with localhost/widget?

 

Thanks

Jim

Jim,

  What do  you mean by "created site on my local pc running as client /serever."

Did you modify the core or are you reffering to the fact that the DB is on another server.?

I will answer your questions based on a regular DNN installation.

What do I need to do on the server side? 

 

1) I suspect I will need to create an new virtual (web) directory called widget.  Is this a correct assumption?

      If you are using child portals then you do not need to create additional virtual directories. The DNN database handles all
      of the portal switching. 

2) I suspect I will need to modify the webconfig file.  Is this a correct assumption and if so, please advise.

      You will not need to modify the web.config file to add child portals. This is done through the Host--> Portals menu item

3) Do I need to do anything on with SQL Server or will it share the same databases?

   Nothing to do here either

4) Is there anything else I am missing, other advice or references you can provide?

    Well. this depends on the answer to MY first question above

5) Once this is done will it work with localhost/widget?

    Setting up a Child portal in Host-->Portals will give you the localhost/widget portal.

Thanks for the reply

I should have made it clearer. 

- Everything is on my pc, which is running IIS.  I have IIS & SQL Server installed.  Once it is working properly, I'll look for a host that supports dnn apps. 

- I am setting up the new host as a seperate parent.  I already have one working as localhost/firstone and now I want another one as localhost/secondone (I used widget as the example in my original post).

With this in mind, can you go back thru the questions:

1) I suspect I will need to create an new virtual (web) directory called widget.  Is this a correct assumption?

2) I suspect I will need to modify the webconfig file.  Is this a correct assumption and if so, please advise.

3) Do I need to do anything on with SQL Server or will it share the same databases?

4) Is there anything else I am missing, other advice or references you can provide?

5) Once this is done will it work with localhost/widget?

Thanks

Nothing needs to be done server side.  DNN will handle all of the "context switching" for you.

I thought if you create a child, say portal-1 and if your DotNetNuke installation is http://localhost/DotNetNuke, then it would be accessible as http://localhost/DotNetNuke/portal-1. If I want it to be just http://localhost/portal-1, how do I that. ?

thanks

Here's what I did and the problem I encounted.

I logged in as HOST, selected "host/create new portal" menu option.  Filled in the information including the name of the new portal, and encountered the following error:

The page cannot be displayed

The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

I am running IIS 5, SQL Server, and another working (first one) dotnetnuke app on this box and am trying to add another one.  The first one works properly as:  http://localhost/dotnetnuke  Now I am trying to add a new (parent) as http://localhost/secondapp

Sunit,

    The problem is that you cannot create a parent portal on a development box. (Well not without changeing either DNS or host file on your machine anyway)

When host your site on a server you can create as many parent portals as you wish as long as you have purchased the unique URL Domain Name. On a local machine you are stuck with child portals http://localhost/DotNetNuke/Portal-1

Thanks Sunit

The machine I have setup emulates a server.  I wouldn't not have thought that to be a problem, but if it is then how do others handle a situation where you are developing more than one portal at one time on a development box?

I suspect I can try it as a child, then when I move it up to a web-server change them to a parent?  Does that make sense or am I off-base?

Thanks again for the repsponse - I appreciate your time.

That is EXACTLY how you do it. You can create them as child portals and then when you move it to the host, you will need to change the Portal Alias to the URL.
