IIS 7, ASP and Visual Web Developer root folder problem
I have imported an ASP web site from a service provider, to convert to ASP.NET.
The site has an Access database in directory DB and all asp and other files in directory www.
All ASP files require that www is the root folder of the web Application.
Images is located in www/Grafik/xxx.jpg and in HTML used as:
<img src=”/Grafik/xxx.jpg>”.
I have from Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition (VWD) created an ISS Virtual Directory to
The imported site.
How do I tell IIS or VWD that www is the root folder?
When I test default.asp in VWD all pictures is missing because the pictures is in
www/Grafik/ and not in Grafik/.

The old asp site should work under IIS7 without any issues.
What I was trying to point out to you was that the way that the directory structure was set up was wrong
And would potentionally cause you a lot of headache later on down the road.
I am sorry that I or no one else was able to give you what you wanted.
I was just plainly stating that if you want to make the sites professionally, then set up your folder structure professionally as well. if not, then you will end up with a big mess.
Good Luck and sorry once again.
