Creating Applications

To create an application, you designate a directory as the starting point for the application. You can then set properties for the application. Each application can have a friendly name; this name appears in Internet Service Manager and gives you a way to distinguish between applications. The application name is not used anywhere else.

You can remove a directory from the application boundaries. Requests to files in that directory and its subdirectories will no longer start the application. Removing a directory from an application boundary does not delete the directory from either your Web site or from your computer's hard disk.

1. In Internet Service Manager, select the directory that is the application starting point. You can designate the home directory of a Web site as an application starting point.
2. Open the directory's property sheets, and then click the Home Directory, Virtual Directory, or Directory tab.
3. In the Name text box, type a name for your application.
4. Click the Create button.

1. In Internet Service Manager, select the directory you want to remove.
2. Open the directory's property sheets, and then click the Home Directory, Virtual Directory, or Directory tab.
3. Click the Remove button.
