SUMMARY
=======

This article describes concerns relating to the location of the content root of
your web server.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Web servers can work with different virtual server directory structures than the
FrontPage Server Extensions require. Virtual server directories should not be
configured under the root directory for another server. The following
configurations do not work with the FrontPage Server Extensions because they
contain nested directories for the virtual servers:

  Server running on Windows NT
  ----------------------------

  Root Web           c:\inetsrv\wwwroot
  Virtual Server 1   c:\inetsrv\wwwroot\virsvr1
  Virtual Server 2   c:\inetsrv\wwwroot\virsvr2

  Server running on UNIX
  ----------------------

  Root Web           /usr/local/www
  Virtual Server 1   /usr/local/www/user1
  Virtual Server 2   /usr/local/www/user2
