URL problem

[sandeepmur]

Hi, am not sure if this is the right forum but here goes..

I have a domain where I want to let users create their own websites as in:

http://www.xyz.com/client1,

http://www.xyz.com/client2

and so on.

My problem is that right now my domain root is something like

http://www.xyz.com/site/client1,

http://www.xyz.com/site/client2

and so on...

Is there anyway I can mask the directory 'site' so that the URL appears as

http://www.xyz.com/client1

???

thnx in adv,
sg

How much control do you have over the server?

almost full control!

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but at least I can point you to the right area.

If you have almost full control over your server, then check out forum65 for Apache web server or forum41 for Microsoft IIS.

You may get a more appropriate/quicker response there.

Good luck,

In IIS, all you have to do is create a Virtual Directory under the web site, and point it to whatever path the actual file is at.

For example, create a Virtual Directory under

http://www.xyz.com

called "client1" and point it to the "/site/client1" folder. Now, whenever anyone goes to

http://www.xyz.com/client1,

it will pull from the appropriate area.

Hope This Helps!
