Is there a way to set a VD as the default website? 1

ITPERSON07 · Apr 23, 2009

I have an app that runs in a Virtual Directory. (c.Support (helpdesk software)) Is there a way to setup IIS so a user can just type

http://www.domain.com

instead of

http://www.domain.com/virtualdirectory?

You could write a small script (javascript window.location) to do a redirect and set it as the default document on the website.

Alternatively you could have an ISAPI filter, to interpret things for you, but that is harder.

Here is an example of the redirection script (just save it under the root website and call it default.html (or whatever you want).

Code:

<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
    window.location = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.domain.com/virtualdirectory"[/URL]
//-->
</script>
</html>

Point them to an IIS server that you can change the default site to point to a "redirection to a URL" on the Home Directory tab and put in your

http://www.domain.com/virtualdirectory"
