Hi,
I have hosted a site in this networksolutions in the windows package. The main site is pointed to /htdocs and within this /htdocs i have one sub folder /blogs, for this blogs folder i have mapped the blogs and the url for this blog is www.mysite.com/blogs.The DNN is installed in the blogs folder. Now i want to change the URL for the blog as blog.peoplesearch.com, so can you please help me to
resolve this issue since i am new to this please provide me a detail steps.


Thanks,

DotNetNuke is unable to be pointed to directly if it is installed to a subfolder because the links that are generated upon installation are hosting root relative.

What this means is that when you point your domain (blog.domain.com) to a subfolder like /blogs the links to images and CSS will display as blog.domain.com/blogs/image.jpg or in other words /htdocs/blogs/blogs/image.jpg which won't find the correct file.

So, if you need to reference a DNN installation directly from a URL without the use of a subfolder, you must install DNN directly to the /htdocs. Otherwise you will just need to reference it by domain.com/blogs, or whichever sub-directory you installed it to.
