  Publishing for the first time (noob) Reply Contact I'm using windows server 2008, I have installed IIS 7.0 (following a tutorial - below). When I got to step 6, I chose ASP .Net, (this option was on another tutorial).  http://www.trainsignaltraining.com/windows-server-2008-iis7/2008-03-21/ When I get to step 13, it says that my Physical path does not exist.  I know that this is probably an operator error (me), and I've used WS2008 for an entire 2 days, so I'm not really sure where to start troubleshooting.  Could someone please give me a nice kick in the butt?  I'm not sure how I could get something (this easy) wrong.  Maybe there's more to it than just selecting the web page I want to publish?  Ah well.  Thanks for the site & kicking me in the right direction, even if you can't. Would a Screen Shot help?

Don't specify a non-existing place and expect IIS Manager to create that for you. It won't.

You must specify a valid local drive or a UNC path for remote directory. Don't use mapped disk as IIS does not support that either.
