DM does not point the Virtual Directory to physical path

rjayakumar

I am trying to use physical path to deploy as
x:\AppName_$(RedGateReleaseNumber) and DM though created the physical folder - it failed to point the properties of virtual directory to the newly created folder.

I am missing any other setting?

The other settings are as below

RedGateCreateWebSiteOnPort - 80
RedGateNotAWebSite - True
RedGatePurgePackageDirectoryBeforeCopy - True
RedGateWebSiteName - Default Web Site/AppName

Hi,

I've already replied to your support e-mail about this, but for the benefit of any others who might be reading this...

Deployment Manager will not update the virtual directory setting in IIS if the RedGateNotAWebSite variable is set to true, because the purpose of the RedGateNotAWebSite variable is to disable any IIS configuration. The documentation about the various RedGateXXX variables is available here.

Thanks Mike.

I have set the variable to False and its working as expected now.

The reason for setting the value as TRUE was the naming used - when the parameter reads NotAWebSite --- it meant as virtual directory and hence it was set as True.
