  Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined.

  Jun 01, 2005 04:20 PM|LINK

  HELP !
  
  tomorrow i have to present a portal made with dotnetnuke as a project at school. the problem is that it worked just fine on my laptop, with localhost set as an alias (default i guess cause i don't remember setting it, oh well) until i asked somebody to try it from the internet. eventually i figured out that the error that person kept receiving (cannot connect to localhost) was due to the fact that dnn uses aliases to launch the portals.
  
  ok, i said to myself, let me change the alias to my dns domain (actually a dynamic dns host - x.dyndns.org) ->
  
  it was /localhost/site2 and i changed it to /x.dyndns.org/site2 and it got me the following error. i modified the alias directly in the portalalias table of the dotnetnuke database in sql server back to /localhost/site2 and still the same error. there is obviously something else i have to modify but can't quite figure out what. here's the error:
  
  

  Server Error in '/site2' Application.

  Try removing the first slash from the alias, that is probably where it is failing.

  did that and the foolowing error was reported (by firefox 1.0.4):
  
  redirection limit for this url exceeded
  
  IE 6.0 just displays:

To check your connection settings, click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options. On the Connections tab, click Settings. The settings should match those provided by your local area network (LAN) administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). See if your Internet connection settings are being detected.

Some sites require 128-bit connection security. Click the Help menu and then click About Internet Explorer to determine what strength security you have installed. If you are trying to reach a secure site, make sure your Security settings can support it. Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options. On the Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section and check settings for SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, PCT 1.0. Click the Back button to try another link.

  if it continually tries to re-direct that means that the host.domainname portion of the Url that you are using to access the website is not found in any of the portal alias entries.

  If you access it on at x.dyndns.org then that needs to be in the portal alias table. If it is a virtual directory under that domain then you would add that for an alias of x.dyndns.org/site2

  I'm not getting any error at all, when I access the site from localhost/virtualdirectory from the server via RDC.  All I *do* get is nothing.  Like it's spinning wheels.  When I access www.ewriters.org from remote pc (ie, my laptop), I get 'Redirection limit for the URL exceeded'.  Now this is an upgrade from 3.0.13 to 3.1.  This all worked fine in 3.0.13.  I just checked the PortalAlias table and it has the exact same *WORKING* entries that were in 3.0.13 install.  Namely:
  
  www.ewriters.org
  ewriters.org
  localhost/virtualdirectory
  macingipaddress/virtualdirectory
  domanipaddress
  
  obviously I've not specified the exact values of the ip address, though I don't think it would be a security issue I guess.  This obviously has *something* to do w/portalalias, but I have zero clue what, since it all worked fine in 3.0.13.  Could someone give me a heads up on this?  I've searched all other threads, and don't see anything that resolves my issue...
