Hi,

Our site is creating thousands of child portals and I noticed that the child portals are created as folders in the root folder. Is there any way to change where they get created?

You could imagine how confusing it would be to try to find all of our production/development folders in a folder with 5000 files for child portals all over the place.

Anyone have any idea?

Thanks,
Matt

Where would you rather have them be created?

due to necessary redirection, the folder needs to be created in the root, except you'd like the address to be www.domain.com/clients/clientname instead of www.domain.com/clientname. I'd suggest to use individual subdomains instead, e.g. www.clientname.domain.com, this will leverage the case as well, when a client wants to move his site to a different domain name.

I don't want the address www.domain.com/clients/clientname instead of www.domain.com/clientname. I just want to be able to have the portal sites not polute the root folder.

We're starting off with 3000 child portals, and expecting it to go to 10000, 20000, 30000, or possibly more. You could imagine not only how long it would take to find the development folders, but also the time it would take to load the root folder with that many subfolders in it.

Is there absolutely no way to have the child portals be created in a different folder? Even it's not important whether we're using a clean url for users to get to their portal sites? (eg. www.domain.com/clientname)

I don't see an easy option, maybe you can combine subsubportals with urlrewrite.

I'd still prefer to use subdomains instead (www.client1.domain.com or client1.domain.com).
