newbie questions (free points for you!)

[influent]

I don't understand a few things.
Why does Interdev make a folder under the folder I want to use and call it "Project1_local"?
Why is my default.asp page showing under

http://wwwroot,

even though I have a directory under

http://wwwroot

called Project1, that holds all the ASP pages?
Why are my images not showing up when I browse the pages (the path is img src="images/example.gif" and all the images are in

http://wwwroot/project1/images/)?

Maybe I'm getting confused between the virtual directories and the physical directories, I can't say for sure.

-> VID stores its own project information in \PROJECT1. Everything you do is in XXXXXXX_LOCAL folder

Why is my default.asp page showing under

http://wwwroot,

even though I have a directory under

http://wwwroot

called Project1, that holds all the ASP pages?
--> Are you sure it is the same file? When you install PWS/IIS a default.asp is generated for \

http://WWWROOT

Why are my images not showing up when I browse the pages (the path is img src="images/example.gif" and all the images are in

http://wwwroot/project1/images/)?

--> Did you add the image files in the project?

Thanks for your help foxbox. I figured some stuff out last night. For one thing, you do have to add pages and images from within Interdev instead of Windows Explorer, which seems sort of odd to me, but I guess it makes sense. I understand the project_local thing now, though I'm still not quite sure why !MY! default asp page was in

http://wwwroot.

My only problem now is that after I create the project in Interdev, then change the home directory path in IIS to make the new project the default web site, Interdev wants a password when I try to do anything after that. It's fine if I leave it as

http://localhost/project1/default.asp,

but I want it to be

http://localhost/default.asp.

I've checked all the permissions and it doesn't look like it should be asking me for a password, but I must be missing something.

[same experience here]
i do this:
o Leave the directory structure the way VID creates it
o Leave iis home directory \inetpub\

http://wwwroot

o Open IIS service manager
o Click Default web site
o Right click the default.asp page, choose properties
o And then i enter a redirect to the project\default.asp

this works oke for me.
