Example - Virtual paths
Previous  Top  Next


The goal of this example is to help you create on or more virtual paths.

In this example we have three web servers running on two different computers. The first web server has the IP 192.168.0.2 and listens to port 5000 and the second has the IP 192.168.0.3 and listens on port 8000 and the last web server has the IP 192.168.0.3 and listens on port 8001. The first web server is the main web server and the other two hosts some kind of server applications. It could be a customer support application and a bug tracking application.

Now look at these settings:

clip0058

Target address
To be able to change the Target address field you will have to select - No Selection - in the Server cluster field. By doing so you specify that you are not going to use the same server as the domain uses.

Path replace
If the web server application expects the incoming HTTP requests to the web server to refer to the root path (/) then you will have to fill this field with a /.

IntraWeb
If you are an IntraWeb developer you will have to set the Path field and the property URLBase in your IWServerController form to the same value. For example /bugtracking. And you must have a / in the field Path replace. If you want to know more about using IntraWeb with OctaGate Switch™, you can read Using OctaGate with IntraWeb Applications
