Home Directory Settings
The following settings are available in the Home Directory area for a Web site in the Internet
Information Services view.
Table 24-36: Home Directory Settings for a Web Site
Setting Description
Content Source Path (Local
or UNC)
This setting identifies the local path or network directory path that stores your Web
site files.
• If the content for the Web site is on the target system, click the ellipsis button (...)
in this setting to specify a local path. The Browse for Directory dialog box opens.
This dialog box enables you to select a Windows Installer property (such as
[IISROOTFOLDER]) or create a new one.
By default, the files are stored in IISROOTFOLDER.
• If the content for the Web site is not on the target system, click the UNC button in
this setting to specify a network location. Following is an example:
\\server\share
Tip: Each Web site should have a unique physical path, especially if the Web site is
going to be installed on a Windows Vista or later system or a Windows Server 2008 or
later system. To learn more, see Run-Time Requirements for IIS Support.
Script Source Access Specify whether you want to allow end users to access source code if either read or
write permissions are set. Source code includes scripts in ASP applications.
Read Access Specify whether you want to provide end users with read access to the Web site.
Write Access Specify whether you want to provide end users with write access to the Web site. This
means that end users can change the Web site’s properties on the target machine.
Directory Browsing Specify whether you want to allow end users to see all the virtual directories and
subdirectories below this Web site.
Log Visits Specify whether you want to record visits to this Web site in a log file. Visits are
recorded only if logging is enabled for this Web site.
Index this Resource Specify whether you want to allow Microsoft Indexing Service to include this directory
in a full-text index of your Web site.
This setting applies to IIS 6 and earlier. IIS 7 ignores this setting.
