Setting Additional Document Directory in Sunone 6.1 SP1

Question

Tried to run a testfile (index.htm) from an additional document directory in 6.1 SP1 on W2K (local), but it doesn't show up. What am I missing, doing wrong or forget?
Additional Document DIrectory setting:
Prefix: /test
Directory: c:/websites/test
in vsclass2.obj.conf (made a 2nd virtual class which is working for several sites) is written:
NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/test" dir="c:/websites/test"
But I get this by using : http://hostname/test
Not Found
The requested object does not exist on this server. The link you followed is either outdated, inaccurate, or the server has been instructed not to let you have it.
Has it something to do with an ACL setting? If so, how do I control or config this?
Thanks for any assistance,

Hi Dustin,
I think you posted this to the wrong newsgroup :-)
In WLS 6.1, document roots are Web Application specific. Unless you explicitly
change it, the default Web Application (the one that you get when you type in
the http://localhost:7001 URL), the document root is a folder under your domain's
application directory named "DefaultWebApp_{name-of-your-server}". Where {name-of-your-server}
is whatever value you assigned to the -Dweblogic.Name property, on the command
line you started WLS with. Refer to the WLS 6.1 documentation for instructions
on how to change this to a different Web Application. Here are a couple of links
that will provide you with some insight into this:

I have recently migrated from WebLogic 5.1 to WebLogic 6.1, on Windows
2000
running jdk 1.3.1. My Document Root settings (weblogic.httpd.documentRoot)
from WebLogic 5.1 in my weblogic.properties file did not carry over to
WebLogic 6.1, so does anybody know how to set the Document Root in WebLogic
6.1? Or is there an equivalent to it now?
Thanks in advance,
