DNN Version Effected: 5.6.0
Symptoms: You are seeing random Portal Aliases on your site, this can be seen by doing the following
-Log in to your site as the host user or a host privilaged user.
-Navigate to Host -> Portals
-Click the small "Edit Pencil" button.
-Expand "Advanced Settngs" by clicking the + next to it.
-Expand "Portal Aliases" by clicking the + next to it.
-If you see one or two aliases like:
- www.YourDomain.com
- Yourdomain.com
- Where yourdomain.com is the name of your domain, this is fine, but if you do not upgrade to DNN 5.6.1, you could eventually be effected by this bug.
-Here is an example of the bug (You should see bunch of aliases, like this perhaps, although names may vary)
- www.Yourdomain.com/tabid
- www.Yourdomain.com/DesktopModules/SomeDirectory/
- www.Yourdomain.com/Somefolder/Home
- www.Yourdomain.com/Home/
Please read other examples from the links bellow to see if you're effected.
This is a known issue/bug in DNN 5.6.0, you will need to upgrade your site to DNN 5.6.1. If you've ever had your DNN version at 5.6.0, these aliases could have been added by the bug, you should be able to remove them. Please see:
