DaNuGai Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I have IIS 6.0 running on windows server 2003.I have a website running on port 80 and I just installed this application that runs on the same server but on a different port (8090). Now is there a way to create a virtual link in IIS that would allow me to link the application thats on a different port. In other words, I would like to enter http://<server-name>/Application as oppose to http://<server-name>:8090The problem is the application uses it's proprietary engine so I can't just create a virtual directory.Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aspnetguy Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Can't you create a Virtual Directory that points to a URL? It looks like you can in IIS 5.1.How? When I create a new virtual directory it requires a path to a hard drive or network location. It will not allow me to enter a URL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesh Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 How? When I create a new virtual directory it requires a path to a hard drive or network location. It will not allow me to enter a URL.In IIS 5.1, you create the virtual directory, just like you've described - point it to the C: drive or something. Then, once it's created, you edit the properties and, on the Virtual Directory tab, you can change the settings from hosting the content from "A directory located on this computer" to "A redirection to a URL".The more I played around with it, though, the less I think it's what you want. If you were to create a virtual directory at http://<servername>/Application and have it redirect to http://<servername>:8080,'>http://<servername>:8080, it would do just that - it would redirect the browser to the http://<servername>:8080 and that address would be in the address bar of the browser.

aspnetguy Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I guess as a moderator I can get past the swear filter. It picked it up when you quoted me. It was a typo, honest . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noan Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 cant you just create a page at http://server/Application/index.html which is a redirect page (as follows): <html><head><title>Loading</title></head><body><h3>Please wait...</h3><script type="text/javascript">location.href = "http://server:8090";</script></body></html> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
