Creating the Directory for Document Publication

...

       1.      To check whether the directory catalog exists, open the directory Default Web Site in the file tree structure. The MS Internet Service Manager displays the subdirectories and the virtual directories mapped to the Default Web Site.

       2.      If you do not find the directory catalog attached to the Default Web Site, find out the path of the HTTP root directory.

       3.      Select the directory Default Web Site using a right mouse click and choose Properties.

The tab Home Directory shows the path to the HTTP root directory in the field Local Path, e.g. C:\Inetpub\wwwroot.

       4.      Using Windows NT Explorer, open the HTTP root directory and create a new subdirectory called catalog.

       5.      Using Windows NT Explorer, select the directory catalog and choose File à Properties.

       7.      Select the option Share this folder, enter Default Web Site in the field Share on and enter the alias catalog.

       8.      Choose tab Sharing.

       9.      Select option Share this folder and enter the alias catalog.
