...problems with IIS, virtual directory, local path,

Hi guys,

I'm confused when creating a virtual directory on my test environment.
1. If I create the virtual directory manually, it lets me modify the "Local
Path", by using either the Browse button or the textbox.
2. When I create an ASP.NET aplication that option is unavailable.

How was the Duwamish 7.0 project built?
I need to change the virtual directory name

TIA,
Leonardo

If you create the virtual directory first, and then create the ASP.NET
application, specifying the virtual directory, you should be ok.

Is there a way to avoid creating the virtual directory first & then use
that one, when creating the VS.NET web app?
It should be straight forward, or a parameter or something.

But as you said, it worked fine that way.

tks

I have a problem and I've been using a cheezy work around and was wondering if anyone else out there has a better solution. The problem: Let's say I have a web application appA. Locally, I set it up as C:\domains\appA. Locally, my IIS root points to C:\domains. I don't point it to C:\domains\appA since if I have an appB under C:\domains I wouldn't be able to get to it. So to access it via my browser I go to localhost/appA.

I am using VS.NET 2005 beta 2.

Hi - I'm currently using the FileUpload control to allow people to upload files to my website. This all works fine, as long as I'm going to a physical path on my server. However, I need to allow people to upload to a virtual directory. The directory may or may not exist on the same server as the Web site. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. If I pass the virtual

I have an ASP.NET app that must allow users to upload files. The files are stored in a virtual directory. I use Server.MapPath to map from the virtual directory name to a physical path, then the FileUpload control SaveAs method to upload and save the file. This all works fine when the virtual directory points to a local drive on the ASP.NET server. However, when pointing to a remote drive (which is what my client wants to do), I get...

Hi, I created a new directory on my WinXP-Pro/SP2 file system. Then I created a virtual directory in IIS pointing to that local directory. After completing that, I noticed that I had a mispelling in the name of the parent directory of that local directory. I "improved" the situation by creating a correctly-spelled peer of that parent directory. Then I dragged my new local directory from its misspelled parent to the correctlyl...

Hello, Have MS 2003 server with IIS 6.0 installed. ASP.net is also installed. Had to re-install the server after initial configuration by someone who left the company and now I cannot get the ASP pages to load.

I'm confused about paths. I have a functionn that uses the mappath method, which I think requires a virtual path (is that the same as a relative path?). But this doesn't always work as the path can take the form of the following: 1. /directory/images/xyz.gif (works fine) 2. http://localhost:1234/www.mytestwebsite.com/directory/images/xyz.gif (doesn't work) 3. http:///www.someremotesite.com/directory/images/abc.gif (doesn't work)

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
