How to rename a site in Sharepoint 2010..? - sharepoint

I want to know how to rename the url in sharepoint site.
For example, my existing site url is
http://example.com/sites/Test/Lists
I want to change it to
http://example.com/sites/Issue/Lists
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Naveen

Possibly a bit late in the day for this, but:
1) Go to the sub-site
2) Site Actions > Site Settings > Title, Description, and Icon
3) In the Web Site Address section, change the "URL Name:" field to whatever URL extension you prefer.

Create the new link and forget about the old one would be rather easy....
OR
Once you've created a site the URL you originally specified can't be changed. The only way I know of to rename a site is to use STSADM and do an export of the site and then import it with the new name. The subsites would need to be moved underneath the new site which could be done through Manage Content and Structure if you are using MOSS w/ publishing enabled

Sharepoint 365: Set the site contents page as the home page

Is there a way to set the home/landing page for a SharePoint 365 site to the Site Contents page https://support.office.com/en-us/article/The-SharePoint-Site-Contents-page-ba495c1e-00f4-475d-97c7-b518d546566b
You could add a script on startpage in a script editor web part that redirect users to Site contents. That redirect surely will create a "flicker".This should do it:
window.location.href = "/_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx";
Beware that this will be hard to remove from the web part (you will always get redirected), so maybe it should be added to a new page layout that is used by the startpage. Then it's possible to edit/remove the redirect through SharePoint Designer.
You could also try (if you have publishing feature activated) the "Welcome Page" link in site settings. Maybe there you could somehow point out the path to site contents, but I doubt it.

Inherit look from rootsite

I'm trying to get my subsites to inherit the look I configured (under site settings > look and feel > change the look) on the rootsite. How do I do this? Thanks in advance!
I'm using Office365 (Sharepoint online).
Generally, according to the article below, the subsites will inherit the theme from the parent site. Here is the article link:
look and feel inheritance
By the way, may I know whether your subsite is from another template? If so, please follow the instruction below:
1) Since the link of Master page setting is hidden, you can change the URL to the setting page by two steps.
Copy your site URL and remove the target of URL after the default URL. See the example below:
Root URL : https://XXX.sharepoint.com/SitePages/Home.aspx
Change to : https://XXX.sharepoint.com/
Add the ‘_layouts/15/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx’ behind the URL from step a. See the example below:
Root URL: https://XXX.sharepoint.com/
Change to : https://XXX.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx
Note: if you get the error message, please go to check the publishing featureon Team Site.
Per my test, you need to enable SharePoint Server Publishing feature if the subsite is not a publishing site.
Then when changing the look of rootsite, the look of subsite will get changed too.

Using a Web Site Document with an XPage - how to setup correctly?

I have set up a small XPage and have until now used the full path to the Xpage for testing, i.e.
http://devsrv1.magerman.ch/Development/Schulungen/Schulungen1_0/Schulungen_(1_0)_Dev.nsf/HomeWithDataView.xsp
I then tried to apply a Web Site Document
But the links are no longer currently functioning. I have the feeling that I'm missing something pretty basic, and am unsure as to what the best practice is. I'm quite happy with having the original request to the hostname resolve to a full path, i.e.
input
schulungen.magerman.com
and have it resolve to
schulungen.magerman.com//Development/Schulungen/Schulungen1_0/Schulungen_(1_0)_Dev.nsf
but haven't found a way to do this elegantly.
At the moment, my relative links '/OtherXpage.xsp' fail as they try to get to schulungen.magerman.com/OtherXpage.xsp
Any pointers?
Create a Web Site Rule. You can create it from your Web Site document in edit mode with action button " Web Site ... / Create Rule".
You can find a description how to fill the fields here.
The problem is usually that you need to add a trailing slash to the hostname

How to redirect root web site to site collection

I'm having quite a hard time figuring out this problem and I need your help. Here's the scenario:
I have a sharepoint 2010 web application on my port 80. This has 2 site collections, the root, and the /sites/official. My problem is: The root site is empty, but in the future it will be my something (I don't know what yet), but my other site collection is ready to go and I already have an Internet address for it.
What I want to do is configure everything in way that I can type http://contoso.com and get as response my sub-site (yes, its a kind of redirect)...
how can I do it? What and where should I configure it?
add content editor webpart on your root site collection and put this javascript in that webpart
<script type="text/javascript">
window.location = "http://contoso.com/sites/official"
</script>
Open IIS manager
Right click on your SharePoint website -> Properties
Go to tab Home Directory
Choose A redirection to a URL
fill the URL for redirection. for example: http://contoso.com/sites/official
Notes:
Make sure to check A Directory below URL entered to avoid redirect loop
Link to another thread might interest the reader - immediate redirect page in sharepoint

Create user friendly alias for a sharepoint site

I have a test Sharepoint server running on a Windows 7 machine. The url is http://liu-t500-01 and i want to create a user friendly alias http://temp for it. i have added
127.0.0.1 temp
to my hosts file (an A/host entry) and i have also created an alternate access mapping in Central Administration
http://liu-t500-01 Default http://liu-t500-01
http://temp Intranet http://temp
However when i try http://temp in the browser the sharepoint site does not come up. This is probably a simple problem but has me scratching my head...what did i do wrong?
Changing the IIS binding only will cause errors. You need to modify the alternate access mappings in SharePoint. There are tons of good articles our there that tell what to do in detail.
Here is just one: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/Video/ff679917
Try adding a host header in IIS
In IIS click on your site
choose the Bindings action
Click Add
In the Host Name field enter "temp"
click OK
