OK
So,
1. I copied the website into c:\inetpub\wwroot\ProgramA
2. I refreshed the view in IIS and it now shows that folder.
3. In IIS, I went to the properties of that folder and ran create
application. That sees to work, the icon in IIS changed to this yellow
wheel.
4. I go to Default.aspx in IIS, right hand mouse click and select
browse. Up comes a "The page cannot be found" screen in iis. On the
address bar it reads
http://localhost/ProgramA/Default.aspx
5. I tried changing it it http://192.0.0.5/ProgramA/Default.aspx and
the same thing happens (192.0.0.5 is the machines IP address on our
lan)
Any thoughts?
One thing I noted.
I turned directory browsing on for the root inside IIS. If I go to
http://localhost, the entire directory tree comes up. I can see the
directory ProgramA.
When I click on that direrctory, no dice, it comes up with "The page
cannot be found"
