I have just recently upgraded to Domino 6 from ver R5. In the previous version we had our users simply use a web address to view their email by using www.company.com/email
Domino would load the email.htm file and process accordingly. After the upgrade to ver 6 I have to type in the .htm extension.
It’s not a huge problem because I know what htm means. Our users will never remember it though. Is there any way to change this ?
I understand that maybe it is done in the DOMCFG.nsf file. Do I have to create an a entire new web site ?
Thanks.

There are some good articles on D6 web addressing in the Notes.Net Today online journal. Go the the LDD homepage and click the link and search for Web Site Addressing.

It is better to create a new rule document in the Domino Directory.
The rest is probably self explaining!

Go to the Admin Help.
In short:
In R6 you can choose between WebConfiguration and Websites. This choice is made in the server document/basics tab (Load Internet configurations from Server\Internet Sites documents:).
If disabled then :
-
go to names.nsf Configuration\Servers\All Server documents
-
select the correct server.
-
choose action “Web\Create URL Mapping/Redirection”
-
Create URL - URL Redirection from /email to /email.htm
-
tell http restart on the server console and you are ready
If enabled then:
-
go to names.nsf Configuration\Web\Internet Sites
-
Add Internet site (default site) Fill in all details and save document
-
Open document again (Notes closed this window automatically when saving)
-
Choose Website/Create rule, fill in details and save document
-
tell http restart and you are ready.

Thanks Mark. Great instructions. They helped solve the problem. I was close but I had put the fully qualified domain name in both url fields and it didn’t work. Not until I used just the /email or /email.htm
I should have known.
Thanks again.
