Re: How configure an IIS folder from remote to run web service or

hmm, this is something out of my scope :-)

I use XP professional as my Desktop OS.

If you use installers for installing the webservice, then, a virtual folder
would be made automatically. I believe that this is the easiest solution. One
created, the virtual folder will not get deleted till its deleted manually.

Other option I can see is to use VNC or VPN to access the remote machine and
configure the IIS Manually.

not sure if there is any other solution. Please let us know if you get
another solution.

Thank you very much Kiran,

actually I cannot test your ingenious procedure because my server is
running on XP professional. Sorry, I should have mentioned the OS. Any
workaround for XP?

Probably if one would know how does windows "mark" a folder as an
application in IIS it would probably be possible to do it manually from
remote, provided that this setting is written on some file accessible
from remote (and not in the registry or somewhere else)...

There would be a default Sharepoint Administration services site created.
THe Port number has to be configured for this.
On configuring the port number, try to acces the website from another machine.

Challenge for Credentials will be thrown. The default user having access to
that site is the Local administrator

once logged in, a Subweb can be created on the name of the folder that needs
to be turned into a virtual directory

try accessing the webservice. If it does not work, then, merge the subweb
with the main website and try accessing again.

I am not sure if this would work.

If one does not configure a virtual dir as an IIS application, he/she

This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as

Assume that I have a remote site: http://Mysite/MyApps/MyAppDir
I want to upload - via FTP - my application (asp.net + 1 web service)
to MyAppDir,
but I have forgotten to configure the MyAppDir folder as an application
in IIS,
so it will not work.

My question:
Assuming that I can connect to the http root via FTP and can write any
file, is it possible
for me - from remote - to configure IIS so that my service and asp.net
application will run ? How would I do that?

Many thanks for any help,
