RE: [cobalt-users] RaQ2 Help Needed

[Shawn Xu <shawnxuraq@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Eric:

I did try again.

Let's say: virtual web site www.test.com, and user
account "test".

WS_FTP uses an ip and user "test" to upload files into
/users/test/web folder.

Then I tried http://www.test.com,I got a default
cobalt site which contains Personalize Your Home Page,
Site Management Access, and Personal Account
Management, etc.

If I use www.test.com/users/test/index.html, I got
what I want.

However, I don't want this way. This site is for
public,just like www.test.com. If it is for each user
privatecy, I understand.

How to configure a virtual site just searching like
www.test.com?

Please help again, and thank you so much!

Shawn
