RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, remove the virtual directory in
IIS. Then, re-create the virtual directory and configure it as an
application. To remove the virtual directory, follow these steps:
| 1. | Click Start, and then click
Control Panel. |
| 2. | In Control Panel, double-click
Administrative Tools, and then double-click Internet
Information Services.
Note If the Administrative Tools icon is unavailable
in Control Panel, click Switch to Classic
View, and then double-click Administrative
Tools. |
| 3. | Click the name of the server that you want to configure,
and then double-click Web Sites. |
| 4. | Double-click the name of the Web site that you want to
configure. |
| 5. | Right-click the name of the virtual directory that you
want to remove, and then click Delete. |
| 6. | Click Yes. |
To create a new virtual directory and configure it as an
application, follow these steps:
| 1. | Click to select the name of the Web site in which you want
to add the new virtual directory. |
| 2. | On the Action menu, point to
New, and then click Virtual Directory. |
| 3. | In the Virtual Directory Creation Wizard, click Next. |
| 4. | Type the name of the virtual directory that you want to
create, and then click Next. |
| 5. | Click Browse, select the directory for the
application, and then click OK. |
| 6. | Click Next, and then click
Finish.
Note By default, a new application that has the same name as the new
virtual directory is created in IIS. |
