Question Web setup

[paulccob]

I’ve been looking for an explaination about something and i can’t find it anywhere on apple’s site or their pdfs. Can anyone tell me what the Aliases section (double-click on a website in Server Admin—it’s the last tab) is and what it does.

I think i have an idea, but i’m really not sure.

Thanks in advance!

it’s similar to canonical names in dns – most browsers will look for aliases (like webmai.whatever.com attached to whatever.com) and these aliases then point the browser to a particular directory of the web server (ie – /Library/WebServer/Documents/webmail_page)

i’ve usually just used the url forwarding features of my hosting service.
