mojo portal aliases

Is it possible to define portal aliases within Mojo as in DotNetNuke?

For example, in DNN I can set the portal to serve requests to localhost and I can add a second portal alias to respond to requests on my external IP (for the sake of argument http://192.168.1.105). However without this second portal alias in place, requests on http://192.168.1.105 will be returned as localhost. This makes it easy to move from testing to live servers etc (details here: www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforAdministrators/DotNetNukePortalAliases/tabid/303/Default.aspx
)

Does Mojo allow similar functionality?

Many thanks

Hi Dave,

mojoPortal doesn't work exactly like DNN, but it may suit your needs. I don't know much about the DNN sub portal feature.

mojoPortal currently allows hosting multiple sites under a single installation and db as long as each site has a different host name.

In other words you can have
http://host1.somedomain.com
http://host2.somedoamin.com
http://host1.someotherdomain.com

all running from one installation and 1 db, however each site is completely independent and has different users
There is documentation here:
http://www.mojoportal.com/muliplesites.aspx

I also have a customer who is sponsoring development of a second way to have multiple sites using a scheme like:
http://host1.somedomain.com/site1
http://host1.somedomain.com/site2

This feature will get implemented sometime between now and September. Again each site will have different users and be completely independent.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: mojo portal aliases

I just took a quick look at the DNN tutorial link you posted and this seems to be just pointing multiple domains to the same ip address and having the same site appear.

This works the same way in mojoPortal, mojoPortal only cares about the host/domain name if you have configured it for hosting multiple sites. If you are hosting a single site using multiple different host/domain names and you want the same site no matter which name is used, there is no need for any special configuration, thats how it works out of the box.

I originally thought you were asking about the sub portal feature of dnn. There is nothing special about aliasing, any host name that resolves to the ip address will work fine in mojoportal.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Hi Joe,

Ah right, that clears it up. We're just about to go live with a site built on Mojo and it was something I thought to check at the last minute. Thanks for your speedy reply!
