Access Photostation Without Using /Photo Sufix

Postby rcblackwell » Wed May 09, 2012 8:28 pm

I have DDNS setup and can access a website hosted on my DS via the associated domain name. I'm thinking of adding a second domain name for use with Photostation. I'd like users of that domain name to access Photostation without having to add /photo to the end of the domain name. In other words, instead of users entering http://www.viewphotos.com/photo, they should be able to enter http://www.viewphotos.com and be presented with the Photostation page.

I'm sure I read a message describing a resolution for this sometime over the last week however I'm now unable to find such either through searching or looking through the messages. Would someone assist by providing a resolution of point me to the message that contained such?

With appreciation

I thought that might be the answer but it appears as though the folder name entered in the "Sub-folder" field must exist as a child in the "Web" folder as I'm unable to get this solution to work. Perhaps I'm entering the wrong data. What should be entered in the Sub-folder" field?

That might have been it....

I have a question regarding use of the script but will ask in that thread.

Thanks for pointing it out.
