| Hi!
I want to give an Alias name in the HTTP Server conf. file for the
portal URL name, e.g., instead of typing "http://www.abc.com/wps/portal"
I want to give an alias such as the user will type
"http://www.abc.com" and the portal page will appear. The problem here
for me is, I don't know which directory should I give as "Alias"
parameter... Thanks in advance.

| I wonder if this is not possible, or should I make my question clearer?
I really appreciate your help, thanks.

| A lot depends on your network archatecture. We are useing a layer 4 switch
and a revers proxy infront of our portal. When someone types www.sw.org it
ends up at a redirect page on the apache server. This page then forwards
onto the www.sw.org/sw/portal... site. I only mention the other peices as I
am not clear on what they do. I suppose that all you would need is an index
page set up on the apache server for www.abc.com that would redirect to
www.abc.com/wps/portal. Hope this makes sence.

| Yucel,
You can use a redirect parameter or probably add the following lines in you index.html file(the file which loads when you hit www.abc.com)
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=https://www.abc.com/wps/portal/">
</head>
</html>
This line should redirect you to the required URL
If you are using IBM HTTP Server then the index.html should be present in the IBM HTTP Server\htdocs directory

| Thanks everyone, I've used the "redirect" command in HTTP Server
yesterday and it solved our problem.
