Windows Server 2003 Web Root Directory 1

[Mirage86]

Ok i have a server running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition. The last server we had used linux and Apache which supports the /home/usr/blah/blah ok what my question is...is what is the root on a windows server how can i use the root path on a webpage on a windows server. I have no experience using windows as a server. Also we had some issues with the

http://www extension

not working.

PS. Our server is
running Windows Server 2003 Standard
with IIS and Plesk.

Thanks In Advance To
Anyone Able To Help.

The root path from the client perspective is just

http://server/

On the sever the files are located in C:/InetPub/

http://WWWRoot.

Your

http://WWW isn't

working probably because your DNS server needs a

http://WWW entry

added.

I hope you find this post helpful.

ok but like putting that into a web page...this is the code im trying to use on our windows server

$config['basepath'] = '/home/xfactor-/public_html/v2/'; ok but that path on our server is httdocs instead of public html but how would that work on IIS?

Need to understand the context better. Are you working with ASP, HTML, PHP?

Say you are coding a page and want to reference an images folder that is located under

http://WWWRoot.

i am working with PHP....
$config['baseurl'] = '

http://www.domain.com/v2/';

// The actual location of openlistings on the machine -- leave off the trailing slash
$config['basepath'] = '/home/xfactor-/public_html/v2/';

This is the actual code....anyways hope this helps
