Check your permissions. Remember system, admins, and you can try everyone if you are using anonymous authentication. Or, just check the permissions
on wwwroot, and use the same on your folder.

Thank you. I hope this information is helpful.

| IIS 6 question here.. I sthere anything I have to do to
| enable websites on a
| drive other than c (the original Inetpub).. I know in IIS
| 5 you could just tell
| it the folder and it worked, but in 6 when I pick a
| folder outside of Inetpub i
| get an internal 500 server error on even the most basic
| html websites. But
| whats wierd is if I save the configuration from the
| default website to an xml
| file and then create a new website from the file and then
| edit the properties
| of the newly created website it will work. Theres got to
| be something in the
| master properties that im overlooking or some file
| permission somewhere..
| Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.
