Multiple Domains - I'm confused 
Hi, I wish to set up multiple domains on DNN 4. When I set up a new portal, the default Home Directory is Portals/[PortalID]. What does this represent? When I use File Manager I can see Portal Root. Is this the same as Portals? Should I create a folder for each domain, and would that be the PortalID?
 
I have a hunch that I am thinking FTP vs. DNN, but some help would be appreciated. Is there some documentation that I could read?
 
Thanks in advance!

Re: Multiple Domains - I'm confused 

I have created a 26 minute video that explains about child and parent portals and how they are setup.

You can have a look at that and it explains how it works.

The video is available for registered users and is a 22mb downloadable from HERE.

Hope this gives you an insight.

Re: Multiple Domains - I'm confused 
Hi, thanks but that wasn't really what I meant.
 
I mean if I have 3 (or more) domains pointed to the nameserver of my DNN site, like www.mydomain1.com, www.mydomain2.com, and www.mydomain3.com, all completely different websites, and I have parent portals for each, using a portal alias for each one, should they all point to the same Home Directory - Portals/[PortalID]?
 
Thanks again.

Re: Multiple Domains - I'm confused 

No they just need to be pointed in IIS to that folder -

Some people create a new instance in IIS and other add the url to the domains in the IIS settings for that portal.

That's all that's needed.

The short answer is no. When you create a portal in DNN, the "home directory" for that portal is automatically created. The directory is a number corresponding to the ID of the portal in the DNN Portals table. Thus, for every portal that exists in an instance of DNN, there will be one folder that is the designated home directory for that folder. The number of portal aliases associated with a portal or whether the portal is a parent or child portal is not a factor in determining the home directory.
