Hi,

After looking furiously (everywhere), I am trying to find out if it is
possible to have a vitual directory under the default web site as a Cms
entry point.   What we'd like to acheive is

http://someserver/channels/default.htm point to and launch the root cms
page

Currently

http://someserver/default.htm launches the root page.

The purpose of doing this is to allow Cms and Sps to coexist and allow
the registering of 'http://someserver/channels' as an exclude path in
Sps and avoid having the sps filter domineer.

Please advise if anyone knows whether this is an effort in futility.
(ps looked into 'Map Channel Names to Host Header Names' but unsure
about this approach)

Thanks

Hi Chertzy,

no this is not possible.
But you can create your channel structure in such a way.
Means to create a channel "Channels" below the root channel and copy your
content into this channel.
Then you would have what you are looking for.
Be aware that you need to add an exclude rule in SharePoint to ensure that
the items in the MCMS channel can be served.

Otherwise SharePoint will return a 404 page not found.

Cheers,
Stefan

Thanks very much Stefan - actually this is the route we took after this
post.  So far it seems to be working right - required a few minor
changes in the template code but otherwise it is good to know that this
was the correct approach.  Thanks again and noted on the exclude path.
