Lost my virtual directory when I created a subweb...

External Since: May 18, 2004 Posts: 1

I installed Frontpage server extensions so that I could create an InterDev project and connect to my web project from InterDev. At some point I converted my Virtual Directory into a Subweb. Then I noticed I could no longer manage the subweb from the IIS Manager. So I then Merged my Subweb back into my Default Web Site. It still does not show up in the IIS Manager. I can however view the web pages via Internet Explorer. I then tried to create a new Virtual Directory under the Default Web Site using the same name as the one that I lost and was told that the name already existed. Yet it does not show up in the IIS Manager!

How do I manage my lost virtual directory? I can't even delete it to start over.

Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated,

I had to re-install IIS in order to create the virtual directory again.

I then created a test virtual directory and installed the Frontpage extensions on it so that I could point to it from MS InterDev. I was not able to point to it from InterDev until I made it a subweb. Again, once I did that I could no longer manage it from IIS. It just disappeared from the list of virtual directories in IIS Manager. Even though I installed the Frontpage extensions on the test virtual directory it was still not seen by InterDev project setup. It wasn't until I converted it to a subweb that InterDev could see it in order to add it to the project. So now I am kind of screwed because I want to be able to run the ASP pages in debug mode from InterDev but I don't want to lose the IIS Managing ability.

Does anyone have any idea what I am talking about?

Thanks,
