Got Windows 2003 Server running IIS6. Let's say the IP address is 123.123.123.123.

If I go onto IE and enter 123.123.123.123 it takes me to the IISRoot directory that has been setup in IIS, no probs there.

But I want to create a new Web Site with the name "CTI" so out local network can access the webpages by typing:

http://123.123.123.123/CTI or
\\[servername]\CTI or
\\CTI

I can't have the directory of this new site on the same drive or as a sub-directory of the IISRoot.

Any ideas how to do it please?
 
Hi matey. Can you set it up as a virtual directory? This should allow you to create a subdirectory that could be on another physical drive.

Right click on the website in IIS and select new > virtual directory.

Edit: that would take care of http://server/CTI and http://ip/CTI but I'm not sure about just http://CTI. I'd guess you'd set up some kind of redirect, but I'm not sure how you'd do that in IIS.

You want a virtual directory.

First off, create a folder on the network drive you want the CTI site hosted and publish the content to it.

The in IIS under the 123.123.123.123 site, right click > New > Virtual Directory.
Next
Enter the alias to use for the VD - in your case it would be CTI, next.
Browse to the directory you created for the site on the other drive, next.
Finish.
Job done :)

*edit*
bah! Damn you Sid!
 
Sounds a perfect solution!!! :D

BUT

Ain't got an option for a Virtual Directory, only a "Web Site" or "Web Site (from File)"

Has the administrator turned something off?

*edit*

Ooooo hang on, the "site" not the "Server", right, hang on......
