Hello all. This is my first post in this forum, mainly due to the fact that I recently inherited the administration of an intranet site after another employee left. There are a number of links that need to be made on a page on the site and the notes I have tell me that the files I need to link to are inside an IIS Virtual Directory called "Procedures".
When I look inside the IIS Manager, I can see that there is indeed a Virtual Folder called "Procedures" created and when I click on it, I can see all of the files inside. (They point back to a totally different file server data folder).
The problem I am having is using my HTML editor, how do I link to the files on the Virtual Directory? As a work around, I've simply created file:/// links to the data files that were requested, however I am now being told that is the incorrect way to link and I need to link using the Virtual Directory. When I try to use the following link syntax, such as:
http://INTRANET/VIRTUALFOLDER/DOCUMENT.PDF
The page cannot be displayed (HTTP Error 500)
When I look in the IIS Site Root folder, the virtual directory name isn't shown as a folder in the site root, so I'm STUMPED as to how to link to these files.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated!!
