What is the difference between publishing a website to {localdrive}\inetpub\wwwroot and anywhere else on the web server e.g. C:\Website.
I have noticed that I am always left with a directory and a website in the IIS console if I publish to {localdrive}\inetpub\wwwroot.
After reading articles on MSDN, I am still unclear of the difference. I realise that there is probably a simpe answer to this, but I cannot find it.
The web path
/is already mapped toc:\inetpub\wwwroot, so/abcis mapped toc:\inetpub\wwwroot\abcautomatically.When you publish to
c:\website, you need to set up a virtual path manually.
