    hi

    win2k8

    I want to host a website on my win2k8 server, which uses www.domain... so I
    thought I need to add the files for the website into the wwwroot folder, is
    that correct if I want to use www?

    And what about the files which are already in the wwwroot folder? the root
    folder contains aspnet_client folder, looks to me as it's somekind of system
    folder... can I remove that folder and copy my source code into the wwwroot
    or what? or should I not touch the aspnet_folder?
     
  2. Hello Jeff,

    Yes, that is correct..put all your files or atleast you index files in the
    wwwroot folder..Ignore those files. just copy your web files in there...you
    can test by typing http://localhost and you will see IIS7 logo but aafter
    you load your index or default.asp file yo ushoudl see that..
