I have a Windows 2000 box, with IIS loaded on it.
I have several
VB 6 IIS applications that work together as a suite.
I
had all these on a Win NT 4 box with Personal Web Server.
The file structure is:
Code:
c: +â InetPub
+â Components
| +â CR
| | +â CR.DLL (the actual CR WebClass code.)
| |
| +â IDDS
| | +â IDDS.DLL (the actual IDDS WebClass code.)
| |
| +â FS
| +â FS.DLL (the actual FS WebClass code.)
|
+â WWWRoot <--<<< default web site
+â CR
| +â CR.ASP
| +â CR.VBP (and associated folders & files)
|
+â IDDS
| +â IDDS.ASP
| +â IDDS.VBP (and associated folders & files)
|
+â FS
+â FS.ASP
+â FS.VBP (and associated folders & files)
As I had it set up on the NT 4 box, all of the folders where the .ASP files were were set to be virtual roots of the same name as the asp. So IDDS could be run with:
h ttp://localhost/IDDS/IDDS.asp
(for instance).
So when I set up the new box, I turned the folders where the ASPs reside into internet applications (again, as before). But when I open the applications in the
VB IDE, and hit the Run button on the toolbar, I am prompted to name a virtual root. And It will not let me select the names "IDDS," "CR," etc, telling me that those names are already in use.
How can I tell
VB to just go ahead and use the existing file structure, using the virtual roots that already exist?
I need to keep the URL structure the same so that my development enviroment matches th eproduction environment.
Since posting this I tried the following:
- Deleted the Virtual root VB wanted to make
- rescinded the Internet Application status of ...\wwwroot\cr
- Renamed ...wwwRoot\CR to ...wwwroot\_cr
- Ran the app from _CR
- Chose CR as the virtual root name
- stopped, saved and closed the app
- Deleted the CR virtual root with InetMgr
- Renamed _cr to CR
- In InetMgr made CR an internet application
- re-ran the VB app
Unfortunately, it now (once again) wants to create a virtual root, recommending CR-0... <sigh...>
