NOTE: This article is written for our Classic Cloud Control Panel. You can access this interface from the New Cloud Control Panel by clicking your username in the upper-right of the control panel and selecting "Classic Cloud Control Panel".

Currently, the Classic Cloud Control Panel does not provide the ability to create an alias that points to a folder other than the website's web root. To accomplish this, you will need to use a redirect script, which can be accomplished by following these steps:

1. Log in to your Classic Cloud Control Panel at http://manage.rackspacecloud.com
2. Create the domain or subdomain
3. Once the domain or subdomain is set up in your account, you will need to add a PHP redirect to the web content folder using FTP. See How do I add content to my website?
4. Create the following PHP redirect on your computer in a text editing program:
   

    
   <?php
   header("Location: <Insert_URL_Here>");
   ?>
   

   After the Location: directive, enter the URL that you want to redirect the website to (for instance, http://www.example.com/subdirectory). Using this example link the full script would look like this:

    
   <?php
   header("Location: http://www.example.com/subdirectory");
   ?>
   

   Save this file as index.php.

5. Login to your FTP client
6. Select the website from the list of websites associated with your username and password
7. Select the web folder
8. Select the content folder
9. Copy index.php from your computer to the content folder
