RE: setting an app has a web site

Hi,

 

You can use a prefix like this in your Director conf file.

    <Application prefix="/">

 

 BUT---- You will not be able to add more then 1 application to Director.

     (At least that was my experience)

 

So if you wrote 2 applications, (Default "/" and "/app2")

If you try to add your new app:  <Application Prefix="/app2">

Because you have a "/" for the first app, every url will always match "/"

If you supply a URL like http://host/app2/ 

      http://host/ already matches the single slash, so all URL's will be directed to the "/" app.

No one can ever get to your "/app2" prefix.

 

If you plan to have more apps, I suggest you use a unique prefix for each.

 

**Note, you might be able to use the <restrict virtualserver="xxx.xxx.com" /> tag to have multiple "/" apps that work on one server, but you will need to register more then 1 domain name for your server to get that to work..

 

If you really want a url, without the app prefix, you can put a simple index.html in your web server root.  The index.html page redirects all users to your default app url.  (eg redirect to http://host/app1).

 

Then they can type a simple URL, and get directed to your app.

Hope this helps.

 

Mike.

Subject: Enhydra: setting an app has a web site

Hi all!

 I want to have my Enhydra application directly in a web site, not in a virtual directory of a web site. The Enhydra Director installation instructions only explain the last.

 In the multiserver, I tried to set a different url server when creating a connection thru the Enhydra Director, but it only sets the name of the server.

 I don’t know what to do. Can you help me?
