How do I install ASP.NET app on IIS 6.0?

[Guest]

Hi;

For IIS 5.0 to install my ASP.NET app I just copied it to a directory under
wwwroot and then in properties clicked on the Create button.

That doesn't work for IIS 6.0. I copied the files to wwwroot but nothing new
is showing up. What else do I have to do?

In IIS management console, right-click "Default Web Site" -> "New" ->
"Virtual Directory..." (or "Web site...") and point the path to where yor
ASP.NET locates.

Thanks for Norman's inputs.

Hi Dave,

As Norman mentioned, we can explictly create a new virtual directory in IIS
which point to a external physical directory out of the IIS default
website's phyiscal home directory....

Also, as for your scenario, you manually copy the ASP.NET web app's
application folder to the website's root dir's sub directory, you can
refresh the directory tree in IIS manager after done it.. Then, your
directory will displayed as a normal sub virtual directory under the WEB
site node....

These basic operations are idenitical to the ones in IIS5 ...

Thanks,

Steven Cheng
