Problem Accessing Files via HTTP:

[james0816]

hello, i was just referred to this forum for my issue. I am using IIS for my webserver.

I can access files using the following:
FILE://<server>/<share>/test.pdf

I CANNOT access files using this:

HTTP://<server>/<share>/test.pdf.

I've tried .DOC, .TXT and others with the same results.

What is causing this issue?

Thx

Exactly what happens when you try http to access the files?

 

[james0816]

a new browser window opens and says page cannot be displayed.

You need to publish the directory in IIS. Create a new virtual directory on the IIS box pointing to the directory that is being shared.

sry...i think you lost me there....can you be a little more specific?

thx...i created a virtual directory and at first it didnt work. i modified the php code on one of the pages and got it to work. i will have to modify for the other pages now.

<keeping fingers crossed>
