DotNetNuke 5.1.1, Community and Professional Editions, has just been released. 

See http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/825/EntryId/2304/DotNetNuke-5-1-1-Released.aspx for more details.

With the release of DNN 5.1.1 (CE & PE), there’s a small incompatibility with the Url Master module.   This affects sites upgraded to DNN 5.1.1 from any version.  The symptom will be an inoperable website on some pages, with an associated cryptic database related error message.  The incompatibility relates to the inclusion of a new property of ‘HasChildren’ in DotNetNuke tabs.

You can download the latest release of the Url Master module from the Url Master Product Page.  All existing customers are requested to upgrade to the latest version prior to upgrading their DotNetNuke sites to 5.1.1 (or later versions, when they come out).

Often the multiple domains question comes in after someone has installed the Url Master module and found that one of the domains is showing an unlicensed message.  This post is not specific to licencsing requirements of that module (for that, please read the Url Master FAQ Page).

Reasons for having multiple domain names There are many reasons why you might want to have multiple domain names setup for your site.  These could be :

- transitioning the site from an old domain to a new one (company name change, or perhaps a better domain name became available)

- targeting two separate lines of business on a single site, and having a domain name to suit each

- setting up the .com, .net, .org etc versions to...
