Newbie question.  Testing creating another portal and when it got through it tried to go to the new site.  Of course, this being a test machine, there was nothing by the name of the portal on the Internet.  I saw in the directory under portals it created a new directory "1".  How can I get to the new directory on a test machine to configure and test the new portal?

Thank you.

In the process of creating the new portal, you gave it an alias. Through this alias you can get to the portal, provided that the IIS settings let you get to it.

For demonstration purposes, I usually create child portals, in this way you don't have to change anything in the IIS. You simply go to: <hostportal>/<childportal>. In my case: 192.168.2.100/testportal1 or www.mydomain.com/mytestportal

So on my test machine it would be localhost/mytestportal?

Maybe, maybe not... I don't know anything about your configuration (check you IIS!!!) and my mindreading skills are pretty lousy.

Why don't you give it a try?

Let me clarify.  My current portal is localhost/dotnetnuke, the standard one.  I added a portal.  I tried localhost/mynewportal, but the page cannot be displayed.  I do not know what the URL is supposed to be.  Hopefully it is in the documentation somewhere.
