Virtual directory with iis
Hi,
I am stuyding about "virtual directory" now and I am little bit confused about this concept.
I learned that "c:\Inetpub\wwwroot" will be created as a root directory when I install IIS.
For example, if I create "a.aspx" file and put it under root directory (C:\Inetput\www.root\a.aspx), I can enter "http://localhost/a.aspx" to a web browser's address bar.
Lest's say that I want to creat a virtual directory. I used "myWeb" as an alias and "C:\myExample" as a physical path.
Then, I copied a.aspx into C:\myExample folder.
Now I can access "a.aspx" using "http://localhost/myWeb/a.aspx".
So I guess that it's like accessing "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\myExam
However, it doesn't make sense since myExample is under C directory.
Could you please explain the relationship among "C:\Inetput\www.root", "C:\myExample", and "http://localhost etc.

Hi xmlmagician,
What made you think that this is for my homework?
I am just curious. If I know what that is, I can avoid spending my time to tell you that this is my real question.
I expected the answer for my question when I received the email saying that the possible answer was posted for the question and now I see your irrelevant comment instead. It is really frustrating.
