I have a web application directory (subsite of the main - default website). I want to update the Alias that I originally chose. How do I do it in IIS7?


In the file mentioned by Coding Gorilla I see

<application path="/SiteAlias" applicationPool="DefaultAppPool">

and

 <location path="Default Web Site/SiteAlias">

do I need to update both of these?

  • Can you define "Alias"? Oct 7, 2011 at 19:09
  • http://site/alias Essentially its what I would call the alias to access the virtual directory. Though, I'm not sure if virtual directories exist anymore in IIS7. Oct 7, 2011 at 19:18
  • Ok, so you just want to change the directory name. Are you wanting to do this with the IIS console or do you not have that access? (And yes, they still exist) Oct 7, 2011 at 19:27
  • I typically use start > run > inetmgr Oct 7, 2011 at 19:32

You can't actually do this thru the IIS Manager console, but what you can do is edit the C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config' file. Find the relatednode and update thepath` attribute.
