Here's the problem:
- I want to use Ubuntu.
- But I need to develop ASP.NET (MVC) sites.
- So I setup VirtualBox with Win2003 and IIS6.
- But I would prefer my working files to be located in my Ubuntu home folder.
- So I setup shared folder in VirtualBox and make IIS6 virtual directory work from there.
The problem is, IIS6 can't do this. Whatever I try (mapped drive, network uri path) I get different IIS errors: can't access folder (for mapped drive), can't monitor file system changes (\vboxsvr share path), and so on.
Is there a way for IIS6 in virtual machine to configure virtual application folder to be on host machine (Ubuntu) - be it shared folder, mapped drive, smb share, or whatever?
