Is wwwroot needed for asp scripts?

[RyudoBlaze]

Hey everyone,

I recently got a job as a computer technician and software programmer, now let me tell you that I am not the greatest with ASP but I do know other languages, and pretty much once you know a language a lot of it is universal in my books, but anyways I digress...

So my question for asp is this:

I'm trying to run my script in through a server my boss gave me (well a direct on the server) and I't doesn't want to work. Now I've tested it on my localmachine under my wwwroot folder and it works fine (localhost/script.asp) but when I check my absolute path on the server there is no wwwroot it is just the following:

X:\websites\company\htdocs\dan\default.asp

Dan is the directory he has created for me to upload my scripts onto

so in conclusion im just wondering if the fact that my script isnt under any wwwroot folder does that make it not work? I'm under the impression that IIS acts as compiler for .asp

anyways I could really use some help on this one!

Thankyou

p.s. i forgot to mention that basic scripts like displaying the date and having the filename date.asp (with just basic Response.write) actually does work, so.. yeah.

hi
iis ll run ur application which is referred in its virtual directory.just open ur inetmgr where u can find ur same application once again...when u do any changes in ur code u should copy the asp page and save the same in wwwroot since even though u changed ur application in x:/ it doesnot make any sense to iis until u change in ur virtual directory...
