Running ExpressPro under the Default Website
Document #:10456
Applies To:
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'
