Creating a Virtual Directory for your domain through the Helm Control Panel is easily accomplished.

Step 1: Log in to Helm as ‘admin’.

Step 2: Click on the Domains icon.

Step 3: Select the domain for which you would like to create the Virtual Directory for.

Step 4: Click on the Virtual Directories icon.

Step 5: Click 'Add New'.

Step 6: Fill out the fields according to the following specifications.

Path To Virtual Directory

Enter the full path that you want to have in the URL before the virtual directory name. Leave blank if the virtual directory is to be created in the root of the website e.g. http://mydomain.com/virtualdir. If you want to have the virtual directory at http://mydomain.com/apps/net/virtualdir, then enter '\apps\net' into the text box.

Virtual Directory Name

This is the name of the virtual directory itself.

Virtual Directory Type

Select whether you want to have the virtual directory point to a physical folder within your web space or whether you wish to point it to a URL of another website.

Allow Directory Browsing

Enable directory browsing if you wish visitors to the virtual directory to see the contents of the physical folder if there are no default documents to display. 

Redirect to Exact URL

Enable redirect to exact URL where you want any file or folder paths visited within the virtual directory to be ignored and for the visitor to be sent directly to the URL only. If you disable this if a client goes to http://mydomain.com/virtualdir/abc/page.html, then they will be redirected to http://redirectedURL.com/abc/page.html automatically.

Once the information has been entered in, click Save.

You have now created a new Virtual Directory for use with your domain.
