Running ExpressPro under the Default Website
Document #:10456

Applies To:
  • ExpressPro 8, 9.x

Synopsis:
The ExpressPro application should be run under a virtual directory rather than under a website. This will ensure the application runs correctly.

More Information:
For users wanting to run the ExpressPro application under the default website, we recommend a redirector page is placed under the default website to redirect the browser to the ExpressPro virtual directory.

For example, you can create a file called default.asp and enter the following code:


<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://servername.com/expresspro"
%>

Note: The path of the Default Website should point to a location OTHER than the folder for ExpressPro (which is MailSite\WebServices\Web.UI\).

Now when a user visits the default website address, they will be redirected to the address specified in default.asp.


Additional information:

ExpressPro should be run as a Virtual Directory in IIS. This virtual directory needs to point to \MailSite\WebServices\Web.UI\.

Also required are 2 additional Virtual Directories alongside ExpressPro:

WSS - Pointing to \MailSite\WebServices\Service.Wss\
WebCal - Pointing to \MailSite\WebServices\Service.WebCal


All Virtual Directories should be run under the Application Pool called 'ExpressPro'
