SUMMARY

This article describes concerns relating to the location of the content root of your web server.

MORE INFORMATION

Web servers can work with different virtual server directory structures than the FrontPage Server Extensions require. Virtual server directories should not be configured under the root directory for another server. The following configurations do not work with the FrontPage Server Extensions because they contain nested directories for the virtual servers:

   Server running on Windows NT
   ----------------------------

   Root Web           c:\inetsrv\wwwroot
   Virtual Server 1   c:\inetsrv\wwwroot\virsvr1
   Virtual Server 2   c:\inetsrv\wwwroot\virsvr2

   Server running on UNIX
   ----------------------

   Root Web           /usr/local/www
   Virtual Server 1   /usr/local/www/user1
   Virtual Server 2   /usr/local/www/user2
