Issue

We have a request for our project to install on single DNN instance, different websites.

Each website will need to have their own Application under IIS because the URLs are going to be something like:

- www.mysyte.com/site1/pt 
- www.mysyte.com/site1/en

- www.mysyte.com/site2/pt 
- www.mysyte.com/site2/es 

[...]

The site www.mysyte.com is going to be another site (not in dnn).

Solution

1# DNN as apps under a root website:

Setup a website in IIS with the alias www.elements.me which is just a simple HTML site, not built with DNN.
Then add two applications under this website (c911 and e911) and install a DNN site under each application.
The c911 site will be installed and will be using the alias www.elements.me/c911 and the e911 site will be installed and using the alias www.elements.me/e911 and they both are going to work fine.

2# DNN as separate websites outside of the root site

Setup a website in IIS with the alias www.element.me which is just a simple HTML site, not built with DNN.
Then add two separate IIS websites (c911 and e911) and install DNN under each application.
The c911 site will be installed and will be using the alias www.element.me/c911 and the e911 site will be installed and using the alias www.element.me/e911 and they both are going to work fine.
