Migration steps to WebEOS and AlmaLinux 9 for sites hosted on DFS¶
The process is itself essentially the same as migrating from AFS, for the exception that one must be careful to NOT copy IIS special files and folders because they contain sensitive internal information/configuration: (all of these are case-insensitive):
- These files and folders:
web.config
It is critical not to copy web.config filesglobal.asa
global.asax
bin
App_code
App_GlobalResources
App_LocalResources
App_WebReferences
App_Data
-
App_Browsers
-
File extensions for scripting languages not supported outside of IIS (copying these files means the source code would be revealed to site visitors):
*.asp
*.asax
*.aspx
*.ascx
-
*.asmx
-
Frontpage-related folders (present in older DFS sites):
_vti_*
_private
-
_fpclass
-
Any file with these file name extensions:
