Virtual folders in IIS 5

External Since: Dec 30, 2003 Posts: 1

My problem is when I try to reassign the path of a virtual folder to
anything other than the C drive on the web server. If I reassign it to a
folder on another drive (the folder has the exact same rights and
permissions) it will disappear from the web. If I change it to any other
folder on C (permissions don't seem to matter) it will come back. If I try
and create a new virtual pointing to another drive, it never appears on the
web at all. Stopping and restarting services make no difference, nor does
restarting the machine. This virtual is on the main web (default web site).
What do I need to do to make this work?

What do you mean by it never appears on the web at all??
