Specifying alternate web addresses

If Contribute users will visit a website using a different host name, different directory path, or different port number, you must configure Contribute to recognize these alternate web addresses and associate them with the appropriate website connection.

You need not configure Contribute to recognize all possible website aliases; only those that Contribute users will actually use to access the website.

To specify an alternate web address for a website:

  1. Select Edit > Administer Websites (Windows) or Contribute > Administer Websites (Macintosh) and select the website you want to administer from the submenu.
  2. Do one of the following:
  3. Click Sitewide Settings.
  4. The Sitewide Settings dialog box appears.

  5. Click the Index and URL Mapping button.
  6. The Index and URL Mapping dialog box appears.

  7. Click the Add button.
  8. The Add or Edit Alternate Address dialog box appears.

  9. Enter an alternate URL and click OK.
  10. The new URL appears in the Alternate addresses list.
