Manage paths

Managing paths by using SharePoint Central Administration

Add a new path

  1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click SharePoint Central Administration.
  2. On the Central Administration page, under Virtual Server Configuration, click Configure virtual server settings.
  3. On the Virtual Server List page, select the virtual server that you want to configure.
  4. On the Virtual Server Settings page, under Virtual Server Management, click Define managed paths.
  5. In the Add a New Path section, in the Path box, type the path to add.
  6. Select Excluded path or Included path. If you select Included path, select a type (wildcard or explicit) in the Type box.
  7. Click OK.

Remove a path

If you change how you use the URL namespace, and no longer need a path to be included or excluded, you can remove the path.

  1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click SharePoint Central Administration.
  2. On the Central Administration page, under Virtual Server Configuration, click Configure virtual server settings.
  3. On the Virtual Server List page, select the virtual server that you want to configure.
  4. On the Virtual Server Settings page, under Virtual Server Management, click Define managed paths.
  5. Under Included Paths or Excluded Paths, select the check box next to the path that you want to remove, and then click Remove selected paths.

Managing paths from the command line

You can use the addpath and deletepath operations to manage paths on the command line. Both operations take the -url and -type parameters. The -type parameter has three values: exclusion, explicitinclusion, and wildcardinclusion. For example, to add a new wildcard inclusion to manage all sites at the top level of http://server1, you would use syntax like the following:

stsadm -o addpath -url http://server1/ -type wildcardinclusion

You can also remove an included or excluded path by using the command line. For example, to remove an exclusion for the site at http://server1/hrweb/webapp, you would use syntax like the following:

stsadm -o deletepath -url http://server1/hrweb/webapp
