Sven is a network administrator for a small network, and is
installing Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS). As he is configuring the
default web server he leaves the default directory as wwwroot. Sven places a
document called index html in the directory, then tries to access the directory on a
web browser, but the server sends an error message. Which is most likely reason
than Sven received an error message?
A.
Files cannot be accessed from wwwroot, it is a virtual directory.
B.
Sven needs to create a virtual directory that points to wwwroot.
C.
Sven needs to change the default setting to a new directory in order to access the file.
D.
Sven’s web server is set to access default HTML rather than index HTML on the
default path name.
Explanation:
On IIS there is a page for default documents. These are the documents
that will be searched for when a HTML document is not specified on the URL.
Index.html is not one of the defaults. But. It can be added by modifying the
properties page for that default web site.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Files can be accessed from wwwroot, and it is NOT a virtual directory.
B: wwwroot is not a virtual directory, and does not need to be defined as one.
C: The default settings of the default web server should be wwwroot, and should notrequire any
changes.
