Creating a virtual directory in IIS 7.5 and 7.0

Hello Friends,

Many times we face the problem to host our website on local

machine to createa virtual directory, So solutions is here for creating virtual directory in IIS 7.5 and 7.0.

Since IIS 7, there exists a separate concept for a virtual directory and an application.

You can map a virtual directory to a physical directory that is located on a local  a or remote computer. The physical directory (under the specified name of the virtual directory) then becomes part of the application's URL.

An application, on the other hand, is a group of files that provides services over protocols. So if you want to run your website as http://localhost/Demo, you have to use an application instead of a virtual directory and specify Demo as the application's alias.

To create a virtual directory:

Open IIS Manager

On Windows 7: Open Start -> Control Panel -> System and Security category ->
                        Administrative Tools -> Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.


         On Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista: Open Start -> Control Panel ->
              System and Maintenance category -> Administrative Tools ->
                                      Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

Expand local computer -> Sites -> right-click on Default Web Site (or other website if you're running multiple websites on the same computer) and choose Add Virtual Directory... 

An Add Virtual Directory dialog appears.

Enter the Virtual Directory Alias. If you want the website to run as http://localhost/KenticoCMSDemo, enter alias KenticoCMSDemo.

Type a path or browse to the physical directory that contains the chosen directory.

5. Click OK.

The system creates a new virtual directory.

Right-click the virtual directory and choose Convert to Application.

An Add Application dialog appears.

7.Click Select... and choose the ASP.NET v4.0 application pool from the drop-down menu.

8. Click OK.

The system converts the virtual directory to an application.

Alternatively, you can create an application in one step by right-clicking a web site and choosing Add Application... and filling the required information in the Add Application dialog as mentioned above.

Configuring application pools in IIS 7 and IIS 7.5

Application Pools provide you with additional level of website management. They are supported only by Windows Server 2003/2008/Vista/7. You can configure them in the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager under local computer -> Application Pools.

  

You can check and change the assigned application pool by right-clicking an application under local computer -> Sites -> Default Web Site (or other web site) and selecting Manage Application -> Advanced Settings...

  

You can set the Recycling and other options by right-clicking on an application pool under local computer -> Application Pools and selecting Advanced Settings....
