Site Path Routing Issue

AHomeUser over 11 years ago

Most likely I'm totally misunderstanding the Site Path Routing functionality, here for a sanity check!
I'm running an Alfresco server. The default URL is "myserver.com". Works great, no problem. However, by default the base URL leads you the Tomcat configuration page.
What I want to do is:
Published my DNS entries well in advance to myserver.com (public IP address).
To avoid seeing the Tomcat config page, I setup a Site Path Routing entry of:
"myserver.com/.../" where it should take you to the Alfresco login page and skip over the Tomcat page.
Basically "myserver.com" = "http:/.../"
It doesn't work. What am I missing here? It appears to be extremely simple yet, I must be simpler :-)

Yep, you misunderstood the Site Path Routing... [;)]

It's meant for "routing" traffic from e.g. "www.mydomain.com/.../server2", so more or less the opposite of what you want.

The only option I see here is to change the configuration of your Alfresco server to redirect requests to "myserver.com/.../" (in Apache this would be a simple entry in the .htacess file). The UTM doesn't have that feature currently.
