# ASP.NET Core server

Hosting a knowledge base in a subfolder seamlessly integrates documentation into your existing website structure. For example, setting up a subfolder path like `/help` allows users to access your knowledge base directly within your domain, such as `example.document360.io/help`.

To get started, ensure you replace the example domain in the configurations with your own Document360-provided domain or your custom domain.

---

## Setting up a subfolder path

1. Install the [**ASP.NET Core package**](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AspNetCore.Proxy/)**.**
2. In the `Standard.cs` file, configure the `method` as follows:

To enable Document360 in a subfolder and route both the UI and API requests correctly, include proxy mappings for both the **Subfolder path** (e.g., `/docs`) and the **Site API path** (e.g., `/api` or `/docs-api`):

```csharp
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
    // Proxy for /docs (Subfolder path)
    app.MapWhen(ctx => ctx.Request.Path.StartsWithSegments("/docs"),
        builder => builder.RunProxy(new ProxyOptions()
        {
            Scheme = "https",
            Host = "example.document360.io"
        }));

    // Proxy for /api (Site API path - Only for KB Site 2.0)
    app.MapWhen(ctx => ctx.Request.Path.StartsWithSegments("/api"),
        builder => builder.RunProxy(new ProxyOptions()
        {
            Scheme = "https",
            Host = "example.document360.io"
        }));
}
```

> [!NOTE]
> ** NOTE
> 
> - If you are on KB Site 2.0 and wish to host your Knowledge base as a subfolder, you have to define the **Subfolder path** as well as the **Site API path**.
> - Replace `/docs` and `/api` with the exact values configured under **Subfolder path** and **Site API path** in the Document360 portal.

## What happens next?

Once you have successfully configured the web server, your knowledge base site will be live on your custom subfolder/subdirectory. However, the existing URL for your project will serve the requests.

> **For example,** `example.document360.io` and `example.com/docs` (if `/docs` is your folder path) will point to the knowledge base site.

This will cause duplicate content in Search engines (Google, Bing, etc.). To do this, you will need to enable a URL redirect. Enabling a URL redirect prevents search engines like Google or Bing from indexing duplicate content, which can negatively impact your site's search rankings.
