<H1>WWW Directory Properties</H1>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Configure the WWW service directories by using this dialog box.
|
|
Press the <B>Add</B> button on the <B>Directories</B> property
|
|
sheet to set up new directories.
|
|
<H3>Directory</H3>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Sets the path to the directory to use for the WWW service.
|
|
<H3>Browse button</H3>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Use to select the directory to use for the WWW service.
|
|
<H3>Home Directory</H3>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Choose this to specify the root directory for the WWW service.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Internet Information Server provides a default home directory,
|
|
\Wwwroot, for the WWW service. The files that you place in the
|
|
WWW home directory, and its subdirectories, are available to remote
|
|
browsers. You can change the location of the default home directory.
|
|
|
|
<H3>Virtual Directory</H3>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Choose this to specify a subdirectory for the WWW service. Enter
|
|
the directory name or "alias" that service users will
|
|
use to gain access.
|
|
<P>
|
|
You can add other directories outside the home directory that
|
|
are accessed by browsers as subdirectories of the home directory.
|
|
That is, you can publish from other directories and have those
|
|
directories accessible from within the home directory. Such directories
|
|
are called "virtual directories."
|
|
<P>
|
|
The administrator can specify the physical location of the virtual
|
|
directory and the virtual name (alias), which is the directory
|
|
name used by remote browsers.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Note that virtual directories will not appear in WWW directory
|
|
listings; you must create explicit links in HTML files in order
|
|
for users to access virtual directories. Users can also type in
|
|
the URL if they know the alias for the virtual directory.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The published directories can be located on local or network drives.
|
|
If the virtual directory is a network drive, provide the user
|
|
name and password with access to that network drive. Virtual directories
|
|
on network drives must be on computers in the same Windows NT
|
|
domain as the Internet Information Server.
|
|
<H3>Account Information</H3>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
This box is active only if the directory specified in the first
|
|
line of this dialog box is a Universal Naming Convention (UNC)
|
|
server and share name, for example, \\Webserver\Htmlfiles. Enter
|
|
the user name and password that has permission to use the network
|
|
directory. Virtual directories on network drives must be on computers
|
|
in the same Windows NT domain as the Internet Information Server.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<B>Important </B>If you specify a user name and password to connect
|
|
to a network drive, all Internet Information Server access to
|
|
that directory will use that user name and password. You should
|
|
use care when using UNC connections to network drives to prevent
|
|
possible security breaches.
|
|
<H3>Virtual Servers (World Wide Web only)</H3>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Select the <B>Virtual Server</B> check box and enter an IP (Internet
|
|
Protocol) address to create a directory for the virtual server.
|
|
The IP address must be bound to the network card providing the
|
|
service. Use the Network applet in Control Panel to bind additional
|
|
IP addresses to your network card.
|
|
<P>
|
|
You can have multiple domain names on a single Internet Information
|
|
Server-based computer so that it will appear that there are additional
|
|
servers, or "virtual servers." This feature makes it
|
|
possible to service WWW requests for two domain names (such as
|
|
http://www.company1.com/ and http://www.company2.com/) from the
|
|
same computer. Enter the IP address for the home directory, and
|
|
virtual directories for each virtual server that you will create.
|
|
<P>
|
|
If the path for a virtual directory is a network drive, provide
|
|
a user name and password with access to that network drive. Virtual
|
|
directories on network drives must be on computers in the same
|
|
Windows NT domain as the Internet Information Server-based computer.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<B>Important</B> If you have assigned more than one IP address
|
|
to your server, when you create a directory you must specify which
|
|
IP address has access to that directory. If no IP address is specified,
|
|
that directory will be visible to all virtual servers. The default
|
|
directories created during setup do not specify an IP address.
|
|
You may need to specify IP addresses for the default directories
|
|
when you add virtual servers.
|
|
<H3>Access check boxes</H3>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
The <B>Access</B> check boxes control the attributes of the directory.
|
|
If the files are on an NT File System (NTFS) drive, NTFS settings
|
|
for the directory must match these settings.
|
|
