Homepage location different from rest of site?

Hello all!

I'm setting up a Mojoportal installation for the school district I work at. We want to use Mojoportal for the main site, but we also will have a few other sites hosted on the same server (our help desk program, hosted mini-sites for our staff/students, etc). To keep everything orginized on the server (for maintainence, upgrades, etc), and to keep different sites from having conflicting files/directories, I'd like to organize the server's structure such as:

d:\www\

d:\www\mojoportal\

d:\www\helpdesk\

d:\www\users\


And so on. Basically, I want to install Mojoportal to d:\www\mojoportal (example.com/mojoportal), but since Mojoportal will function as our primary, outward-facing website, I'd like to have the frontpage accessible simply by going to example.com, not example.com/mojoportal.

Is there any way I can have the homepage located on the HD at d:\www, but have the rest of the site at d:\www\mojoportal?


Thanks!

Re: Homepage location different from rest of site?

You can put mojoPortal in the root at www and other apps can run in virtual directories below root. That is the best solution if mojoPortal is going to be the main part of your site.

mojoPortal could also run in a virtual directory below root instead of directly in the root but in that case you cannot use it for your home page.

If the other apps are .NET apps, you may encounter conflicts between the Web.config settings of the root mojoPortal site and other apps, but these can be mitigated.

Hope it helps,

Joe
