\aspnet_client\ folder
|
|
| John Grandy 2005-06-28, 8:48 pm |
| If VS (devenv.exe) is used to create a new web app, the virtual dir will
point to a physical dir that is a sub-dir of c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ , and the
\aspnet_client\ folder will be located at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\
However, if this default location for the physical dir is not desired, IIS
may be used to create a new virtual dir that points to a physical dir that
is not a sub-dir of c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ ( for example, c:\myapp\ ) ....
But how is the \aspnet_client\ folder supposed to be created for this web
app ? VS will not create it (if you create a new web-app project in VS and
point it to the virtual dir for c:\myapp\).
Do you just physically copy c:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\ to c:\myapp\
?
What configuration settings control where a web-app looks for its
\aspnet_client\ folder ?

| If this alternate physical directory (e.g. c:\myapp) is a virtual directory
underneath your existing website, then your existing aspnet_client folder
will work fine.
This is because a browser retrieves the javascript files located inside that
folder using HTTP, and IIS does the necessary translation of virtual URLs
into physical directories.
Your app will be located at http://yourservername/yourApp regardless of
whether the actual physical folder for your application is
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\yourApp or c:\yourApp.
Likewise, the aspnet_client contents are retrieved via
http://yourservername/aspnet_client

| Hi Ken, and thanks for the response.
I am looking at a web server with a very high quality commercial application
that is not configured in the manner you describe.
In IIS , the default web site does not map to "c:\inetput\wwwroot", rather
it maps to "c:\webapps\webapp1"
There is an \aspnet_client\ folder in two places:
"c:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\"
"c:\webapps\webapp1\aspnet_client\"
I assume that the app is using the \aspnet_client\ folder in the latter
location. But I can not figure out how it was configured .... or why.

| Hi,
Running aspnet_regiis.exe will place the correct aspnet_client folder under
each website currently configured on the server. So, at one time, there may
have been a website run from c:\inetpub\wwwroot (since that's the default).
Perhaps latter on a second website was added (or the default one changed),
and aspnet_regiis was run again to add the aspnet_client folder underneath
this new site.
Cheers
Ken
