| Hello,
Do I have to create virtual directory in our internet or intranet to get web
site working? What is exactly virtual directory for? Is there any site that
talks about this.
Thanks,

| A virtual directory is a folder that is not located physically beneath the
webroot, but somewhere else on the filesystem.
For example, say that your webroot is:
C:\Inetpub\wwwRoot\
But you have files in a folder located at:
C:\Docs\Public\
that you wish to make available from your website. In this case, you can
create a virtual directory, say that you name it "PublicDocuments".
Using HTTP, you can now access it using:
http://localhost/PublicDocuments/
and the files from the C:\Docs\Public\ will be served.
That is a virtual directory.
