How to change the physical path of IIS applications?
Root Cause: Physical path is not pointing to where the applications are installed.
Resolution:
- Orchestrator, Identity Server and/or other related components are not starting and no logs are being generated.
- The application may not be pointing to the proper Physical Path. To check, go into IIS, select the UiPath Orchestrator site on the left hand side and on the right hand side, click view applications.
- From the screen below, see the Virtual Path and the Physical Path it is mapped to. Root Application of the UiPath Orchestrator site should be mapped to where Orchestrator is installed, with Identity, ResourceCatalog and Webhooks to their respective subfolders.
- To modify the Physical path, right click on the row for changing and click Advanced Settings
- This will lead to the screen below, click the three dots (…) on the right of the Physical Path row and change the path to the proper location. Click OK and run iisreset from a command prompt as admin.
