So I feel dumb for not being able to figure this out, and I'm not having much luck searching for it in the documention so I come prostrate before you to find answers. On windows server I create virtual directories that map simple web addresses like http://www.domain.com/folder/ to a folder that is not in the root directory of web server. How do I do that in Tiger Server? Seems like such a simple thing, but I can't find it for the life of me.

Thanks.

Never mind. I thought to search in terms of apache instead of tiger and I found the info lickety split. For anyone else, edit your site and it's under Aliases and URL Aliases. This is actually what I had suspected from the start, but the GUI asks for a regular expression (which according to the apache documentation is only needed for an AliasMatch) and I was looking for something simpler.

Thanks to anyone who looked anyway.

If you have psychical access or can use Remote Desktop to it you can make a symbolic link and that will work.
I got a Symbolic link from the Original Web Root to a Site on another Hard Drive on the machine.

The Sever Admin app. Select Web form the list of services. Go to the Settings page and then the Sites tab. Of course this is with 10.2 version but it shouldn't have changes much.
