Using the Hosting Control Center, you can customize the IIS Settings for directories on your Web site.
To Customize IIS Settings on a Windows Hosting Account Directory
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- In the My Products section, select Hosting.
- Next to the hosting account you want to modify, click Manage Account.
- In the Content section of the Hosting Control Center, click the IIS Settings icon.
- To modify an existing directory or directories, select the appropriate directories and click Edit. To set up a new directory, click Create.
- Type a directory name, select the settings you want to apply to the directory, and click Continue. To set a directory as an application root in IIS, make sure the Anonymous Access and Set Application Root options are selected.
- Verify the settings for this directory. If the settings listed are correct, click Continue.
NOTE TO FRONTPAGE USERS: Microsoft FrontPage manages all directory and subdirectory permissions on your Web site. If you customized directories on your Web site, or you are using another tool to build and or manage your Web site, switching to FrontPage may cause some difficulties. It overwrites all of your directory permissions and may make your site unusable.
