Edits to Virtual Directories are Not Reflected in the Metabase (187739)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q187739 We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site: SUMMARY
Any change to an existing virtual root in the registry will not be
reflected in the metabase while Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0 is
running, even if the server is stopped and restarted. However, any new
virtual root information is added once the server is stopped and
restarted.
MORE INFORMATION
When the Web server starts, it migrates all "new" virtual roots to the
metabase ("new" means not already in the metabase). The server then turns
around and deletes all registry virtual roots and mirrors the virtual
roots from the metabase to the registry. Any change to the metabase
virtual roots re-mirrors the virtual roots to the registry, deleting
anything that was changed in the registry.
