We're running IIS 6, on Server 2003 Standard.

A year or so ago, we created a website, in the IIS Default Site. This site is no longer used or needed.

Then a couple months ago, we installed a CRM application on the server, which uses IIS. During install, a Virtual Directory was created under the Default Website, and the files for the CRM app were placed here.

So now, when we access our CRM app, we go to the URL:

Likewise, to access the original website which is no longer used, we go to:

So the question, is how do we make it so we can get to the CRM app without adding the /crm to the URL?

Is there a way to move it, or redirect things?

On the properties of the Default Site, I tried doing a redirection to the URL /crm...but this creates some type of weird loop, because it also changes the CRM Virtual Directory to redirect. Like it's somehow inheriting this redirection from the Default Website above it.

Anyhow, I'm pretty clueless when it comes to IIS, so hopefully one of the gurus can help set me straight.

Thanks!

I got it to work by typing /crm in the redirect box, and choosing to redirect "to a directory below this one".

That's the only way I could get it to work... Not sure why, but it's working, so I can't complain.
