Setting Additional Document Directories

Most of the time you keep all of your documents in the primary document directory. But sometimes you might want to serve documents from a directory outside of your document root. You can do this by setting additional document directories. By serving from a directory outside of your document root, you can let someone manage a group of documents without giving them access to your primary document root.

1. From the Web Manager home page, click Enterprise Web Server servername > Content Management > Additional Document Directories.

2. In the URL Prefix field, enter the URL prefix or keyword you want to use to represent the path.

   For example, the URL prefix could be docs.

3. In the Map to Directory field, enter the absolute path of the directory you want the URL prefix to map to.

   The command syntax is volume:\directory\subdirectory.

   For example, the path could be

   \NOVONYX\MARKETING\PUBDOCS\INDEX.HTML

4. (Optional) Select a configuration style to apply to this directory's configuration.

5. Click OK.
