Can someone please set me straight on web site rules? I was under the impression that I should be able to add a web site rule (a redirection) and it would take effect on the server within a minute or so. But I am finding that I actually have to restart the http task before the redirection works. The server is configured to load Internet configurations from Server\Internet Sites documents.
If it helps, the redirection is in the (simplified) form as follows:
/teamname → http://server2.domain/longpath/teamsite.nsf
so that if the user enters http://server1.domain/teamname in the browser, they will end up at server2.domain/longpath/teamsite.nsf

Hi Peter,
you don’t have to restart the http task.
“tell http refresh” works as well.

Thanks Marco.
For some reason, I was just looking at the commands that are available from the Admin client UI (tell http refresh not shown as an option), instead of reading the Notes Admin Help (where it is explained fully). Note to self: RTFM
Do you know where on the server document you can set the refresh cycle interval? It is mentioned in the Admin Help under the topic ‘Web Server Tell Commands’, but I must be going blind, as I can’t see a field in the server document.

Hi Peter,
AFAIK you have to change/ add a notes.ini variable:
HTTPConfigRefreshTimeout=[interval in minutes]
(I don’t know what it defaults to)
…having your changes done → restart the HTTP task

HTTPConfigRefreshTimeout=[interval in minutes]
thanks for that
