Hey,
I have a DNN 4.4.1 install, the needs to run as a subdomain of an existing non-DNN ASP.Net 2.0 site:
Main site = www.SomeSiteName.com = C:\WebFiles\SomeSiteName
DNN site = www.SomeSiteName.com\DNN = C:\WebFiles\DNN
First problem: Site wouldn't install, was giving error messages referencing an HTTPModule in the Root sites web.config (www.somesitename.com).
I found some info that recommended putting <clear/> in the <httpModules> section of the DNN site (Virtual Directory site).
This fixed that problem, and DNN installed and I recieved the "Click here to access your Portal" Happy-Link.
Current Problem:
Portal comes up. I login, host/dnnhost...get tossed to main page and still not logged in. If I enter invalid login credentials, it tells me incorrect user/password as it should.
All my research, I believe it is setting the cookie...but confused when it goes to check to cookie to validate that I am logged in = something related to running this DNN as a "Virtual Directory" and not it's main root site.
I have found...3 or 4 people posting in various forums on the internet with the same problem. Never any response other then "clear your cookies". 5 computers can't all need thier cookies cleared.
Surely someone has setup a DNN as a sub-site "Virtual Directory" in IIS and has seen this issue? This is not the first time I have had problems setting up a DNN as a virtual directory...but it's been quite some time.
I will be trying to duplicate this setup on another webserver later. I have had problems setting DNN up in this way (not a main/root site), since...DNN 1.x.
Quite possibly it is just me?
Eager to hear any ideas/suggestions on this one.
