Web analytics people do now want me using Redirects I need my domain name to resolve to: root/apps/sitename/default.aspx again, WITHOUT using a Redirect. Thanks
As long as your redirect is permanent (301), your web analytics people shouldn't care, because a permanent redirect has no negative effect on your search engine rankings.
To redirect subdomains or domain pointers to specific directories, we have some redirect information and sample code in our Knowledge Base, at: http://support.discountasp.net/KB/a369/how-to-redirect-a-subdomain-to-a-subdirectory.aspx. You may also use the URL Rewrite module to do redirection if you are in a Windows 2007/IIS7 server. For more information about the URL Rewrite module, you can read the following blogs: http://blog.discountasp.net/url-rewrite-2-0-for-iis-7-is-here/ http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/02/26/tip-trick-url-rewriting-with-asp-net.aspx
I'm afraid not. All accounts start from a root which looks something like this e:\web\sitename\htdocs That is the root and where the default document read from. This is setup by our provisioning system and can not be modify to map and redirect to another directory. Not through IIS. The only way to get your site start from a subdirectory is by using redirect module.
