Harry_Greatorex Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Hey guys, Just installed and configured HAP+ on our internal web server, works great and it is just what we need. At the moment, I have it running on https://InternalWebServerName/HAP, but I will want to configure it using our schools domain name, eg hap.schoolwebaddress.co.uk. The way i understand this, when I have it set up, people will have to navigate to https://hap.schoolwebaddress.co.uk/hap in order to reach it. Is there anything i can do in iis to allow that domain name to go straight to the HAP+ login page without having to put in "/hap" at the end of the domain? Any help will be much appreciated! Regards Harry

Harry_Greatorex Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 Super, thanks Nick. Another thing, when i try to browse AD groups to add drive permissions, it doesn't come up with any of my AD groups (see picture attached). Is there a fix for this? Regards Harry
MattGibson Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Hi Everyone, I have the same issue but i think i know what it is...... The box i'm using is not a memeber of the domain, does it need to be joined? Regards Matt
Harry_Greatorex Posted May 13, 2015 Author Posted May 13, 2015 My server is domain joined. I want to be able to navigate to https://hap.schoolwebaddress.co.uk rather than https://hap.schoolwebaddress.co.uk/hap. At the moment, the web server automatically redirects requests to /hap. In the future we will want to add extra sites. Harry
MattGibson Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Have you created it as a seprate site? e.g. not within the 'Default Site'
Harry_Greatorex Posted May 13, 2015 Author Posted May 13, 2015 I have, but when i then go to the site, it looses all formatting as it is looking for files within the /hap directory. Is there anything in the HAP+ config files which specifies the root directory of the HAP+ install?
fairm010 Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Sorry I can't help there. We use /HAP as we run other sites on the same server.
Sale_El Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Hey mate, have you done the URL redirect that nickbro said? I have had a bit of a nightmare getting mine to work but now it does, it still says /hap at the end but you just need to type https://yourschool.co.uk then it redirect to https://yourschool.co.uk/hap one thing that tripped me up with the redirect thing was that i was applying it to the HAP application folder under the default site rather than the default site itself... Try this once you have it installed as per the Microsoft Article. Click default site Click HTTP Redirect Tick Redirect requests to this destination Type your full path of HAP i.e https://hap.yourschool.co.uk/hap - make sure you have an A record for DNS also Tick the other two boxes set status code to 302 PS if you are running anything else as the default site this will redirect it to the HAP server so beware if you have any other sites on your IIS server. Sal 1
Harry_Greatorex Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 Thanks Sale_El, I have set up the HTTP redirect and it is working. I have just set up a different site for other hosted sites.
