SYMPTOMS

Services (IIS) version 5.0, this option is no longer available.
RESOLUTION

To move the default Web site to a different location, perform the following
steps:
1. Stop the default Web site.
2. Move the Inetpub/Wwwroot directory to a different location.
3. On the Home Directory tab, modify the default Web site settings to point to
the new location.
4. Start the default Web site.
MORE INFORMATION
