URL for WebDev (Probably a dumb question)

How do I setup a more simple and readable URL for a WebDev App? I don't want to see a long WDAWP type path to the WebDev application when a client goes to www.myappsxxx.com.

I know this is probably a simple one I should already know, so any quick response would be appreciated to educate me.

Thanks
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
This technic has been discussed many times on the French Webdev forums. The thing to do is to create an HTML file in your IIS site directory named 'Default.html' with the following code:

<html>
<head></head>
<frameset rows="*" border=0 frameborder=0 framespacing=0>
<frame src=http://www.MyDomain.com/WDAWP/WDAWP.EXE/CONNECT/MySite noresize scrolling="auto">
</frameset>
</html>

Of course the WDAWP naming depends on your Webdev version (WDAWP100, WDAWP110, etc). Your site can now be reach with the URL www.MyDomain.com/MySite in this example and will stay 'as is' in browsers.

Hope this helps,
