Need help setting up simple Virtual Directory in IIS7

Question

Noobie question...

Using IIS7, I am trying to create a virtual directory for the folder that contains my video files, but can't get my head around how it is done.

For example... The existing address is http://www.mydomain.com/members which points to C:\wwwroot\mydomain\members I need http://www.mydomain.com/flash-members to point to the same path.

The existing IIS path to the members folder is Server\Sites\www_mydomain_com\members (has application icon)

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

For your example, assuming www_mydomain_com is the Site (little world icon), you can do this by:

1. Open IIS Manager
2. Right-click the web site, select Add Virtual Directory
3. In the Alias field, enter flash-members
4. In the Physical Path field, enter your path (C:\wwwroot\mydomain\members)
