I just got a child portal setup. The primary is not my main site. So, I am trying to point to a child domain called supplier.mydomain.com. I have tried creating a subdomain in my DNS settings to point to the path where my child domain answers. This does not work. I have added the alias to my child portal as supplier.mydomain.com and I get a DNN error so i know it's almost there. Please help. This site is hosted on GoDaddy.com if that helps.

Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.  Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Requested URL: /dnn/supplierportal/dnn/Default.aspx

Server Error in '/dnn' Application.

The resource cannot be found.

Ok, let me lay it out better.

Primary site is www.mysite.com <- Not DNN

DNN site is www.mysite.com/DNN

Now, i have a currently setup child portal at www.mysite.com/dnn/supplierportal

I would like the supplier portal to answer at supplier.mysite.com can you tell me what exactly I need to do? I setup a subdomain to point to my supplierportal but maybe I need to set itup to point to the top level dnn site which I'm thinking ould then pass it on to supplier.mysite.com.

Am i thinking right here? i appreciate your help.

It's not a DNS issue, since the supplier host still has to point to the IP that DNN answers on.  But you can add supplier.mysite.com as a portal alias in your child portal and requests will be directed to the child portal.  The URL will not stay the same in the browser though.
