Virtual Directory Created to Point to a Physical Directory Created with Non-Latin Alphabet Characters on an English Version of Windows XP Fails (311636)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Services version 5.1
This article was previously published under Q311636 SYMPTOMS
When you try to locate a Web page, you may receive the following error message:
HTTP 404 - File not found
Internet Information Services
CAUSE
A physical directory has been created with non-Latin alphabet characters. A virtual directory that points to the physical directory that was created in non-Latin characters has been created with English characters. The IIS metabase does not recognize non-Latin characters in physical paths.
NOTE: The virtual directory appears with a stop error in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
WORKAROUND
Do not create virtual directories that are mapped to physical directories that are created with non-Latin alphabet characters.
STATUSThis behavior is by design.
