Hello everyone
Bit of an IIS noob here, however I was wondering if someone could help. We are in the process of migrating our web applications from Windows Server 2003, running IIS6.
All of these applications are running under one website. I followed the instructions to create a package using web deploy v2 at the command line. I gave it an encryptPassword string as requested. The process ran successfully creating a 5gb zip file.
This was then copied to the new server, and I ran the web deploy import package wizard from IIS7. Aside from the baffling issue of it requiring me to input 'default website' rather than the . it provides when it asks you where to restore too...it seems to work, although runs in about 5 seconds, claiming it's complete.
However you then look at IIS and nothing has copied. The only issue I can think of is that the new server doesn't have the same drive structure as the old server, would this be an issue? (all IIS web applications were stored on a drive that wasn't the c:\ drive)
Any other suggestions helpful and welcome
