My 1st post… just battled thru the endless google pages trying to find out how to do this, a helpful post here on Jodo helped, so now I’ve managed it, I thought I’d tell you how I went about doing it, for any other poor sole wanting to do the same thing. 8o
DNN is set-up on Domain1.com on Jodohost and I want Domain2.com to be a parent portal of that DNN install. I will assume that you are using Jodo’s H-Sphere
-
where u registered Domain2.com set the Name Servers to those of Domain1.com
-
You now need to find the “DNS settings” within H-Sphere, so its Domains > Domain1.com
-
at the foot of that page, you should see “Domain aliases” click on the Add
-
enter “Domain2.com” in to the box with the “Create DNS zone” ticked and then Submit
-
now sign-in to DNN on Domain1.com as the Host
-
from the pulldown Host > Portals
-
Add new portal
8.) Alias is www.Domain2.com , select a Template and enter all the other fields, click Create Portal… and hopefully thats it !!!
NB. I did not add “Domain2.com” as a Domain within Jodo, just an alias, so you havent used up another Domain.
And just in case you wanted to create a sub-domain for “www.Domain1.com” that is also a DNN portal, we will call it “sub.Domain1.com”
-
within H-Sphere enter “web options” > “Domain1.com”
-
find “Server Alias” and click on Add
-
enter “sub” in to the box and “submit”
-
then add the portal to DNN as above
NB Again. we didnt use up one of our Jodo sub-domains as we only added an alias
Thats it… have fun
