Where would I find the public_html directory in our server folders? I am still trying to figure out how to forward www.bordnercoloradosprings.com to www.bordnerinstall.com/colorado/springs
I am using the info at this site.
http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?..
If there is another way I need to do this in Percussion let me know.

Will I need to add a site to the server with IIS manager? if so, what is the best practice for creating a dummy site that will just be forwarded to a folder on the main site?

Never mind I figured it out! Here’s how I did it:

  1. Create a new site with IIS Manager on the server (mine was www.bordnercoloradsprings.com)
  2. Add a new folder on the server for this site (I just added a folder to my C: drive and named it bordnercoloradosprings.) Save settings - see bottom for detailed instructions on creating a site with IIS manager
  3. Select HTTP Redirect
  4. Select redirect requests to this destination - enter the url for the page you want to redirect to (mine was www.bordnerinstall.com/colorado-springs)
  5. Select - Redirect all requests to exact destination (instead of relative destination)
  6. Change the status code to Permanent (301)

That easy!

If you need more detailed instructions on how to create a site with IIS manager keep reading.

Open IIS Manager. For information about opening IIS Manager, see Open IIS Manager (IIS 7). For information about navigating to locations in the UI, see Navigation in IIS Manager (IIS 7).

In the Connections pane, right-click the Sites node in the tree, and then click Add Web Site.

In the Add Web Site dialog box, type a friendly name for your Web site in the Web site name box.

Click Select if you want to select a different application pool than the one listed in the Application Pool box. In the Select Application Pool dialog box, select an application pool from the Application Pool list and then click OK.

In the Physical path box, type the physical path of the Web site’s folder, or click the browse button (…) to navigate the file system to find the folder.

If the physical path that you entered in step 5 is to a remote share, click Connect as to specify credentials that have permission to access the path. If you do not use specific credentials, select the Application user (pass-through authentication) option in the Connect As dialog box.

Select the protocol for the Web site from the Type list.

The default value in the IP address box is All Unassigned. If you must specify a static IP address for the Web site, type the IP address in the IP address box.

Type a port number in the Port text box.

Optionally, type a host header name for the Web site in the Host Header box.

If you do not have to make any changes to the site, and you want the Web site to be immediately available, select the Start Web site immediately check box.

Click OK.
