i am using php in iis in our windows R2 server, the default localhost path is C:\inetpub\wwwroot and i want to change it to D for the reason that C might be full.
Thanks for the help.
Look here for IIS6:
To change the home directory of a Web site using IIS Manager
In IIS Manager, expand the local computer, expand the Web Sites directory, right-click the Web site you wish to change, and click
Stop.
Use Windows Explorer, to rename the LocalDrive:\Inetpub\Wwwroot directory to the name of your choice. Alternatively, you can copy the
entire \Wwwroot directory tree to a new location.
In IIS Manager, right-click your Web site, and click Properties.
Click the Home Directory tab, and under The content for this resource should come from, click A directory located on this computer,
A share located on another computer, or A redirection to a URL,
depending on where your home directory is located.
In the Local path box, type the path name, share name, or URL of your directory.
Note If you select a directory on a network share, you might need
to enter a user name and password to access the resource.
IUSR_computername is the default account used if another account is
not specified. If you use an account with administration credentials
on the server, clients can gain access to server operations. This
seriously jeopardizes the security of your network. For more
information on security user rights see, "Security Best Practices" in
Help and Support Center for Windows Server 2003.
In IIS Manager, expand the Web Sites folder, right-click the Web site you just changed, and click Start.
Yes you can do.... Just do below steps:
1. Open IIS Manager. For information about opening IIS Manager,
see Open IIS Manager (IIS 7).
2. In the Connections pane, expand the Sites node in the tree, and
then click to select the site in which you want to change the physical path
for virtual directory content.
3. In the Actions pane, click View Virtual Directories.
4. From the Virtual Directories page, select a virtual directory in the list.
5. In the Actions pane, click Basic Settings.
6. In the Physical path box, change the path of the virtual directory content.
7. Click OK.

I have two machines, Machine A and Machine B in LAN connection. I have shared a folder on Machine A called "SharedFiles" by giving access to "IUSR" and "IIS USER " and local user.
I have hosted a web application with IIS on machine B. From this hosted application , I want to access the "SharedFiles" folder.
What is the best way to access the shared folder for the web application ? I found below two options.
1. By changing the Web application's pool identity. Set a custom account for this pool identity where credentials should be the same as the shared folder or vice versa.
2. By setting up a virtual directory for this. I don't know how to use it. I have read the theory but never use it before.
If option 2 is correct then , do we need to access that folder using http/https? How does this virtual directory work(Not looking for steps but logical flow)?
To add the virtual directory with the shred path under your site you could follow the below steps:
1)Open iis manager.
2)Right-click on your site ->slect add a virtual directory.
3)in add virtual directory box enter any name and your share folder path
Note: Make sure you have assigned the iis_iusrs and iusr permission to the shared folder.
After doing this go back again select site.
Double click authentication.
Select "Anonymous authentication"
Click edit from the action pane.
application pool identity. click ok.
now you can access your shared folder in browser with your site bindings/virtual directory name like shown below:
you could use the iis application pool identity to the administrator or local system account.
I am a student and for my dissertation I need to configure a Windows Server to be a file server which uses FTP over SSL for file sharing so a user can download a file from the server.
What do I need to do that in terms of setting up the service and calling it from another machine later on?
Thanks in advance.
Step 1. Install an SSL certificate on the server.
You can buy the SSL certificate from your webhost
Your webhost should also have instructions for installing the certificate
If you can't find instructions, try this: GoDaddy SSL Instructions
Step 2. Set up an FTP server on your Windows server
You can set up an FTP server using IIS (Internet Information Services) which is installed by default on every Windows Server.
Once you open IIS, right click on the Server name and select add FTP Site.
Give it a name and a location where you want to save the files that you'll be uploading
You can leave the IP on All Unassigned and port on 21
Select Require SSL and use the Select button to navigate to your certificate
Enable basic authentication, leave anonymous disabled
Step 3. Grant user permissions
Open Computer Management and navigate to "Users" under System Tools / Local Users and Groups.
If there is no user called ftpuser, create one.
In File Explorer, right click on the folder where you'll be storing your files, select Properties and go to the Security tab.
Click the Edit button, then Add
Enter in the name of your ftp user, click Check Names, then OK.
Your ftp user should now be listed in the security tab. Select this user and then grant Modify, Read & execute, List folder contents, Read, Write. Click OK.
In IIS, select your ftp site and then double click "FTP Authorization Rules". Add a new rule for a specific user (ftpuser) and select Read and Write.
Step 4. Connect to your FTP server from your local machine
There are many ways to connect to your ftp server including a browser or file explorer, but arguably the best way to do this is to use an FTP client.
A good free FTP client is Cute FTP. I recommend it, but there are many others.
After you've installed an ftp client, enter in your host name (domain or server ip), user (ftp user you created), password and port number (should be 21).
Now you can drag and drop from and to your server.
Bob's your uncle.
I'm trying to simply run a local website which has sime basic HTML files using IIS.
Through the IIS Manager I have created a new website and have set the physical path to the directory with the HTML files.
However when I input the physical path I get the following warning:
The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a
built-in account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS
Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access. Make
sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the
physical path. If this server is joined to a domain, and the
application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify
that \$ has Read access to the physical path.
Then test these settings again.
Now, when I navigate to the site through localhost I get the following Unauthorized error:
You do not have permission to view this directory or page because of
the access control list (ACL) configuration or encryption settings for
this resource on the Web server.
What's going on here? When I right click my folder I seem to have given access to everyone. I haven't made any specific IIS changes so what could be the issue here?
EDIT:
MAN I cannot believe this. My case is so simple (I just wanna display some HTML files on localhost) which should require ZERO configuration at all. Yet IIS fails to meet the demand.
EDIT: I think everyone should have permission to my folder. Here's a picture of the permissions screen for the folder:
Working with a set of server protocols is different than adding files to a share. In this case, you're going to want to open IIS and navigate to the website you added it as.
There, you'll see a variety of icons, some under the heading of ASP.NET, some under IIS. The first heading you'll see under IIS is Authentication. That's the one you want. If this is strictly internal/for learning, go ahead and enable Anonymous Authentication. It's not safe, but it'll get you in the right place to start googling around.
This is my first go at Sharepoint.
I have installed and configured Sharepoint 2013 in a Single VM according to the Hardware and Software Requirements.
Now I have created a site that has the following url:
http://win-5a8pp4v402g/sharepoint_test/site_1/
win-5a8pp4v402g is the part that got pre-pended on its own. It is the computer name.
I am running the Sharepoint Server on port 6666. Also the VM has a local IP assigned for the moment.
When I access the VM through Remote Desktop, and open the browser in the VM itself, the url above works fine obviously.
My problem is that I want to access this site from another system withing the same local network. I can access the Central Administration from the remote system using the local_ip:6666
But how do I access the site from the remote system?
I am asking because I want to use the Sharepoint REST API to do some tasks from the client side and until and unless I can access the site I cant really proceed. Some help here please? I am a little confused.
Moified /etc/hosts file by adding a mapping of the IP address of the VM in the remote system. Since the VM and the remote system are in the same domain, I did this in hosts file:
local_ip win-5a8pp4v402g
hi if you want configure dns server to all computers, how we can do that, can yop please give the steps,

I am using C#/ASP.NET, IIS6 on Windows Server 2003.
Map the data server shared folder to the WebServer with driver letter V:\
On the WebServer, IIS created a virtual directory and pointed to 'local location' with V:\ . Since there is no 'Connect As', not sure which USER will be used
In my WebMethod, I want to create file on the shared folder with FileStream.Write().
I got IO Exception on the action, any hint?
P.S. I have added ASPNET/NETWORK SERVICE on the data server shared folder.
thanks!

Mapped network drives are specific to the user account that created them:
Using Mapped Drives with IIS - MS KB257174
The preferred method of accessing content for the Web server that exists on a remote computer is to use shares that follow the universal naming convention (UNC).
It's very likely that NETWORK SERVICE (or if you're running ASP.NET under impersonation, the site anonymous account) hasn't got this mapping.
To change the location where the virtual directory points to, browse to your site in IIS manager, right click on the virtual directory and select properties. You can then select "A share located on another computer":
The website in IIS has a corresponding app pool and this should tell you the user under which your code wil be running.
You'll the have to grant the appropriate permissions for that share for that user.
