Need Instructions on Setting up an ASP Application

[SMAccount]

I have not used ASP before. Are there cookbook instructions for how to
set up an asp directory structure. It is not clear to me how I must
mark directories (virtual or physical), so they will all be considered
to be part of the same application. Thanks.

Firstly you need to have IIS installed. This will create a directory on
your c:\ drive (assuming you have installed it to c:) called
C:\Inetpub. In this folder there is a directory wwwroot.

In this folder you must create other folders for each web app that your
are going to make. So your web directory could be
C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\firstwebapp .

In firstwebapp you put all your asp, html etc files. I suggest you also
use folders with in this folder to sort the file logically.

Once you have created your files, open your browser and enter the
following to view your app

http://localhost/firstwebapp/firstpage.asp

I think that that is a pretty good start. It is actually really easy
and most problems can be solved just by looking on the net for help

For ASP, there si no required structure. You're describing ASP.NET
settings, which would be a different group. The ASP.NET groups have
dotnet in the name, the ASP Classic groups have just ASP.

OK thanks, but how do I add a virtual folder to an application and
"mark" it as being part ot the application?

In ASP you don't. In ASP.NET you can, but that's an ASP.NET question,
which isn't what this group covers. Try the groups with "dotnet" in
the name.

It is my understanding that in a CLASSIC (not a dot net!) ASP
Application, the following happens:

(1) All code in the "applicatio n" shares a common Application Object.

(2) For each user "session", all code in the application shares a
common Session Object.

I could be wrong, but if the above two assertions are true, then there
would have to be a way of identifying which .asp files belong to the
same application. True or false?

Sorry, I don't follow this logic. This conclusion seems to be a non
sequitor.
True or false?

False.
All subfolders of the application folder are considered to be part of the
application.

So does IIS prevent one from assigning the same physical folder to two
applications by associating two different virtual folder names with it?
