I have an Umbraco site that runs live on windows server/ iis 7. it has the domain of http://subsite.somedomain.com. so far so good...
For some reasons(probably SEO), we have redirected the site to another url from another site so that the site is available from the Url http://shop.somedomain.com
i have tried to change the path of Umbraco's media filelocation to an absolute path, in the /Config/FileSystemProviders config file. but without succes.
so i would be awesome if anyone could help me with : am i one the right track with changing medias filelocation or do i need to do something else to make it work ?
Hi Christoffer.
It doesn't sound like you are redirecting (301) to the new site, but it actually sounds like you are using two different live url's for the same site.
I terms of canonical url's, I think that most search engines doesn't like that on site/page can have multiple different url's. More about canonical url's: https://moz.com/learn/seo/canonicalization

Hey.

That is all good and i can open the site with the Url http://shop.somedomain.com, but the problem on this url is, that when getting all the media files from the umbraco server it uses the url http://shop.somedomain.com/media/1577/picture.jpg which does not exist because the media files is located at http://subsite.somedomain.com/media

You should probably do a 301 redirect from shop.somedomain.com to subside.somedomain.com, which will then automatically fix your problem.
Hope this helped.
Take care!
