Re: [NAnt-users] Web deployment questions

[Chris S. <cs...@di...>]

Provided the website is already established, you can delete and recreate
the virtual folders.  However, if you need to delete the website and
recreate it, you will have to resort to a script task, VBScript etc.
Unless the NantContrib has been updated with a mkiiswebsite (or some
such) task that I am not aware of.

Here is part of one I use

	<target name="iis.verifyvirtual">
		<echo message="Folder location:
${cvs.destination}\${cvs.overridedir}"/>
		<deliisdir 
			iisserver="localhost"
			website="${website}"
			vdirname="${virtualfolder}"
			verbose="false"
			failonerror="false"/>
		<mkiisdir
			iisserver="localhost"
			website="${website}""
			vdirname="${virtualfolder}"
			dirpath="${cvs.destination}\${cvs.overridedir}"
			appfriendlyname="${friendlyname}"
			apppoolid="${poolname}"
			appcreate="None"
			accessexecute="false"
			accessscript="true"
			verbose="true"
			failonerror="false"
			aspallowsessionstate="true"/>
	</target>

Yes, I am talking about a total tear-down/build-up of the IIS virtual 
directories and their settings.
