Changing the installation of webservice

Question

Hi,

I have a Biz talk web-service. This webservice is always installed under C:\Inetpub\WWWRoot. But in production enviornment i want this to be installed in E:\Inetpub\WWWRoot (May be even different one). How can i specify this in my service or some other way, so that it is always installed in required drive.

Thanks,

Jain

Answer 1

In IIS you need to create a new WebSite which points at the new path (as opposed to the "Default Web Site" that points at C:\inetpub\wwwroot). Then select this new website (instead of the "Default Web Site" in the setup of your web service. --Shawn.

Out of interest, you can also use the WCF-Custom binding to directly host from BizTalk - this has the benefit of not having to worry about configuring the published IIS web service.
