title: Windows Server 2003: Any disadvantages to moving website outside of wwwroot?
body: <p>My boss recently asked me if I could move our website outside of the wwwroot folder and place it into "C:\MySite", on windows server 2003.  I tried doing so, and setting this up in IIS 6, but had no luck.  The website wouldn't start up, so I placed the site back into wwwroot.</p>
  
  <p>So I have 2 questions: One, is there any disadvantage to moving a website outside of the wwwroot folder?  I found it peculiar the site works fine in wwwroot, but won't start outside of it...and two, if there's no disadvantage, how can I get IIS to run the website properly if outside wwwroot?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
