Author URL Alias?

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.
