Redirect to virtual folder under default website

I figured out the solution. I simply entered in the "redirect to" box "/abc"
and selected the "A permanent redirection for ....." which did the trick.
Thanks for your input Alexy.

I tried putting the secondary page in but that did not work. I am trying to redirect Track-it (help desk software) from Http://servername/tiweb. I want it to be Http://Helpdesk. I have created the DNS entry for Helpdesk it resolves to the server and I did redirect to "http://tiweb" but it goes to the server default page of Under Construction. What am I doing wrong? Help???????

I have been tasked to do the following:

Have it so that www.website.com/abc is accessible by user typing
www.website.com (abc is a virtual directory setup under the default website)
instead of the full URL. I am attempting to use the the redirect options
under IIS but none are working. I have even tried to setup a separate website
(same server) using a host header name that redirects to the virtual folder.
(just grasping).

I have read the operations guide "Redirecting Requests to Files,

Most of the articles seem to be geared for redirecting virtual directories to
other virtual directories.


I am sure there is a simple explanation but can't seem to find it. Any
thoughts?

In the properties of www.website.com you can specify abc in the Redirect To
text box and select that option.

Me too. I have the identical issue as indicated in the initial question.

IIS 6, Intranet application

URL is http://servername/abc

I want users to be able to type http://servername and have the website automatically serve up the abc virtual directory.

I tried doing the redirect as shown in the solutions but it does not work.

The above solution works, but not on the web server.

i kept trying and trying the solution suggested but it bombed. Finally I tried it again and tested from a remote computer and it worked just fine.

it will never work on the web server.

ie. http://localhost/ will not redirect to the virtual directory.

 >> Stay informed about: Redirect to virtual folder under default website 

hi guys the solution above works perfectly on both local web-server and remote machines, u just need to be careful about the following:
apply the changes u made in (HTTP redirect) to (Default Web Site) after doing that when u navigate to the website u want requests forewarded at (i.e. /abc) and when u check the setting of (HTTP redirect) u'll find the same changes applied there automatically, here u should disable them. then all will work out perfectly!
