redirecting http://companyweb

Hi,
Can you let me know if it's possible to promote a site in WSS, what I
am attempting is something like this:

http://companyweb/test/ to be the default site that you hit when you
visit http://companyweb

I can't seem to find any way to easily do this, Failing that is there
was a way for me to move all the content, styling & security
information up a level in the hierarchy ?

The server is a SBS server using WSS.

TIA,
Simon

I think you can use StsAdm -backup and StsAdm -restore to move the site to a
new location. I haven't tried it though.

You can redirect from one location to another through IIS. That's set in
Site Properties>Home Directory.

Thanks Beige, I'll give the StsAdm method a go.

You have two options.
As Beige indicated, you can move the content using STSADM.
You could also use SMIGRATE to move the content.
Alternatively, you could edit the default.aspx page of the top level site
(since you don't want it displayed anyway) to just redirect to the /test site.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

just add a redirect to the home page of your portal using a
window.location = your site. You can leave your architecture alone
then.

Thanks Adam, that looks like it might work well.

Beige, the stsadm -backup approach won't work as stsadm will only back
up top level sites.

I'll keep looking for other methods as well. (I'm now starting to wish
I'd never set up a test site and just done the development live :) ).

Thanks again guys
