Can you elaborate cause I just don't see why anyone would want this? By login, do you mean the admin section? Or logging in from the frontend (for members)?

.Looking forward to your info.

Also moved post to this category, wan't related to a bug in the our.umbraco.org forum.

waiting for your reply.

Hmm, even more confused now, please explain in more detail!

Hello,

Sorry for sticking my nose in - but I suspect the questioner is asking how to arrange access to the admin area login page from a sub-domain instead of a sub-directory.

eg. if the site was hosted at www.mysite.com, you would normally get into the admin area at www.mysite.com/umbraco/

The desired outcome would be to login at, for example, admin.mysite.com

Personally - I'd arrange this by setting up a redirect in IIS - but you may know of a better way of doing it...?

Thanks Chris,

You got my question perfectly.

But will you elaborate how to create that.

Waiting for your reply.

I'm not really an IIS expert, but you could create a new website in IIS for the sub-domain.  In the properties of the website, specify that this is a redirect to another website and enter the full URL to the Umbraco folder on your website.

I found a tutorial about this (for IIS 6) here: http://www.serverintellect.com/support/iis6/iis-url-redirect.aspx

This may not be the best / only way of doing it - but it should work!

It's not working

I am working with IIS 7

Please explore.
