>>Einar - go to control panel. Click on Internet Info... Services. click on website and then default website. You will see two virtual directories - one has your webname and the other your webname and an "r". You should also see AVFPdemo and AVFPdemor virtual directories. Do not do anything with the AVFPdemo or AVFPdemor direcotories
>>
>>Right click on the virtual directory for your website and you can either delete it or view its properties and change where it pointing to. Do the same for the entry with the "R".
>>
>>I think it would be best to delete them. I would also delete the old web directory and start over and then use webappbuilder to start over again. This assumes you have added a lot of web pages etc to the web site. If you do then I would just change where the virtual directory is pointing to.
>>
>>Hope this makes sense. This assumes you are using XP professional.

>>>>Einar- Check where your virtual directories are pointing. If they are pointing to the wrong app/directory you can manually change them. You could also just delete the virtual directories and start over again with webappbuilder.

>>>Thanks for replying Gaylen. Could you please tell me where I can find the virtual directories?
