Correct IIS 7.5 physical path

Question

In IIS 7.5 I have a site called App with one application App and one Virtual Directory Vir.

c:\Website\App
c:\Website\Vir

Let's say my starting page is as follows:

c:\Website\App\Default.asp

Is the correct physical path for the site?

c:\Website

or is it

c:\Website\App

Answer 1

Whatever the path you have defined for virtual directory of the site.

1. If you have create this page is app(c:\Website\site) or site(c:\Website\App) then it refers to its virtual directory physical path.

2. If you have created this page in specific virtual directory(c:\Website\Vir) then it refers to its physical path.
