Member	positivepurchasing - 10/16/2012 10:39:21 AM Homepage urls Hi Does anyone know how to just have the domain for the homepage and disallow /default.aspx and /home.aspx? Cheers Paul


Kentico Support	kentico_janh - 10/16/2012 5:32:57 PM RE:Homepage urls Hello, You need to set your Home page as the Default alias path property in the Site Manager -> Settings -> Content section and then you need to add following key to your web.config file: <add key="CMSDefaultPageURL" value="~/" /> Best regards, Jan Hermann


Member	positivepurchasing - 10/17/2012 3:27:34 AM RE:Homepage urls Hi Jan I've done what you have said and it works. I have added '/Home.aspx' to the 'Excluded URLs' so that <domain>/Home.aspx throws a 404 which is great. Is it possible to do the same with 'Default.aspx'? Cheers Paul


Kentico Developer	kentico_ivanat - 10/17/2012 9:06:09 AM RE:Homepage urls Hi, in version 7.0 you can also take advantage of default configuration. In the *Site Manager - Settings - URLs and SEO - SEO - URLs* - Default page*: Use domain root*. Then only domain should be used as a home page. Best regards, Ivana Tomanickova


Member	positivepurchasing - 11/14/2012 8:25:09 AM RE:Homepage urls Hi I'm using V7 now, however when I set the Default page to 'Use domain root' neither the default.aspx nor the root / pages work. Is this a bug? Cheers Paul

RE:Homepage urls

Hello,

This settings just redirects you to the root / of your domain for a landing page, so if you have defined the /Home.aspx page as your default alias path, then can't see this pat in the url and the main domain name is displayed instead. This settings works with the IIS7+ and with the Integrated Pipeline mode only.

Best regards,
Jan Hermann
