More Information

Running ExpressPro under the Default Website The ExpressPro application should be run under a virtual directory rather than under a website. This will ensure the application runs correctly. 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.WssWebCal - Pointing to \MailSite\WebServices\Service.WebCal All Virtual Directories should be run under the Application Pool called 'ExpressPro'
