hi, i have a MCMS 2002 application.

my channel Hierarchy is more or less like this:

/Channels
/SiteRootChannel
/Site1
/Site2
/Site3

in my SiteRootChannel i have an script url  to a webform, that decides
to what Site the user should go, depending on its IP address (Site1,
Site2 or Site3) and redirects him to it.

right now, in order to get this functionality, the user has to type in
the url address:
http://mydomain.com/SiteRootChannel

but i would like the webpage with the redirection logic to run when the
user types:
http://mydomain.com

I tried to put the script url property to my Channels channel, but
nothing happens.
is there a way i can map the domain directly to the "SiteRootChannel"
channel, so i can get the funcionality i need?

thank you very much

Eli

Hi Eli,

MCMS ships with an built in feature to do the mapping. The "map channel name
to host header name" feature.
But be aware that it only exists in the enterprise edition of MCMS.

You would need to enable this feature in the SCA and then rename the root
channel of the site to the name of the host header.

E.g.

/Channels
/www.site1.com
/www.site2.com
/www.site3.com

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi,

Does the mapping only work on the first level or can it work also on levels
further down? say to create another entry point? Will an isapii rewrite be
needed otherwise?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

it only works on the first level.
I assume you would need to create a custom ISAPI filter as rewriting for a
lower level will require many exceptions (e.g. /NR and /MCMS and
webcntrl_client virtual directories as well with template project
directory).

Cheers,
Stefan
