I'm managing several DotNetNuke portals (as well as the main hosting itself). All of the portals have the default DNN icon in the address and when they're bookmarked. I want to have a custom favicon.!

It's the icon on the left side of this: DNN icon
(source: dotnetnuke.com)

I've tried clobbering the default favicon.ico file in the root directory (where the web.config file is located). I've deleted, I've replaced, I've restarted the browser, I've bounced IIS. None of that works.

Has anyone come across a solution for the wonky favicon problem in DNN?

Times have changed in the DotNetNuke world since this question was answered. Now, the favicon is much easier to change.

Go to Site Settings underneath the Admin menu, and scroll down to Appearance. There should be an option to upload a new icon, or use one currently on your site.
