Well...I think I've found a reasonable way to proceed...
Site Under Development:
- Create Virtual Directory under Default Website
That way, I can view the site using
http://localhost/website/index.cfm,
also, a client who wants to view their site while it's being developed
can
can go to http://www.DefaultWebSite.com/website/index.cfm for review.
Completed Site:
- Create New Site and re-direct via host headers: Access via
http://www.website.com
Any suggestions concerning this approach? I'm setting up a new server, so
I'm trying to make
sure I start down the right path and don't have to backtrack halfway through
the setup of all the sites...
Thanks,
Rick

No...that didn't help...

I've been using host headers for several years, and serving the
sites fine...even viewing them locally using localhost, but now I'm trying
to set up the site directories on a separate drive, rather than on the
system
drive and that's where the problem comes in.
Perhaps I should take out the host headers until the site goes live?

If you have a virtual website called Virtual_Trial, that website is
configured to accept requests coming to one or more IP addresses, and may be
configured to require a Host header. If you want to have multiple virtual
websites on a single machine, listening on a single IP address, you will
need to configure them to use different Host headers. For example, I might
have two virtual servers on my machine like so:
IP address: 127.0.0.1
Host header: www.foo.com
Web root directory: d:\websites\www.foo.com
IP address: 127.0.0.1
Host header: www.bar.com
Web root directory: d:\websites\www.bar.com
Because these Host headers don't correspond to real DNS entries anywhere,
I'd have to modify my hosts file to associate 127.0.0.1 with both hostnames.
I wouldn't be able to use "localhost" or 127.0.0.1 to access either site
directly in that case.
