38This problem occurs after you move
the application to a new server location.
This problem occurs when a virtual directory in Microsoft
Internet Information Services (IIS) is configured to have an incorrect
application name.
To resolve this problem, remove the virtual directory in
IIS. Then, re-create the virtual directory and configure it as an
application. To remove the virtual directory, follow these steps:
- Click Start, and then click
Control Panel.
- In Control Panel, double-click
Administrative Tools, and then double-click Internet
Information Services.
Note If the Administrative Tools icon is unavailable
in Control Panel, click Switch to Classic
View, and then double-click Administrative
Tools. - Click the name of the server that you want to configure,
and then double-click Web Sites.
- Double-click the name of the Web site that you want to
configure.
- Right-click the name of the virtual directory that you
want to remove, and then click Delete.
- Click Yes.
To create a new virtual directory and configure it as an
application, follow these steps:
- Click to select the name of the Web site in which you want
to add the new virtual directory.
- On the Action menu, point to
New, and then click Virtual Directory.
- In the Virtual Directory Creation Wizard, click Next.
- Type the name of the virtual directory that you want to
create, and then click Next.
- Click Browse, select the directory for the
application, and then click OK.
- Click Next, and then click
Finish.
Note By default, a new application that has the same name as the new
virtual directory is created in IIS.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
