I have working IIS7 with PHP on my computer - localhost.
I have a couple of applications that are working fine. But now I want to add a new one and for some reason I always get a 404 error on the php page. I am probably missing some basics.
What would actually be the recommended way of adding a new directory under my C:\inetpub\wwwroot
(for example C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite
) so that it appears and works under http://localhost/mysite
?
Should I first copy the files to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite
and then create a new Application
or Virtual Directory
(what is actually the difference between them) under Default Web Site
?
I think I have done it this way so far and it was fine, but now I have stumbled upon one site (WordPress folder structure BTW) which says Invalid application path
when I try to add an Application under Default Web Site.
Actually I get Invalid application path
if I try to just add an empty folder under Default Web Site
, when I specify it as Physical path
. Maybe that's the real problem here...?
