Hi All,

Classic Site
IIS7 / Windows Server

I want to upload my test website to my server. I am installing the Application Server 10 Connections. One of the questions is which website folder to use and the tutorial recommends the default website. If I want my site to have the domain name "MyDomain.com" then should I still use the default website folder or a dedicated folder (as I would normally do) or does this not matter ? It seems that WebDev will put ALL its websites into sub-folders of the folder chosen. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

TIA

Hi JP

no matter where you install... I never choose their defaults for directory (I generally have this kind of things installed on D:\Webdev)

Best regards

Fabrice,

Thanks, but it asks which virtual website to use and it lets me choose from the several websites that have been setup under IIS7. And it recommends to just choose the default website.

I now see that it has created a new Virtual Site called "My Admin Name - Client WebDev Site" . Will this site hold all the websites I develop or do I need to create one virtual website in IIS for each website we create as one would normally?

The user accounts I did indeed choose D:\WebDev :)

Hi JP,

I have several sites on my server.
Some have their own url and ip address, some are in a subdirectory of the domain.
For the main site I set the binding to the ip-address and I have put an index.html in /inetpub containing some javascript to redirect to the Webdev subdirectory:
window.location = "http://www.mydomain.com/MYPROJECT_WEB/NL/index.awp" (for an AWP site) For a classic dynamic site you skip the /Language part.
For other dynamic sites I use www.mydomain.com/MYPROJECT_WEB

If someone has a better solution than the javascript I'm open to suggestions.

Regards,
Piet
