 === Serving Django with IIS ===
-You have created a new virtual folder in IIS, and added the PyISAPIe extension and tweaked it to drive django sites.
-There is also an addition to Django so it can be driven by PyISAPIe.
-And, you can now use django-admin.py to create a site inside the virtual folder.
+Supposed that you have successfully settled everything above, and pointed the virtual directory /myfolder to c:\test folder, we'll now make a Hello World page in Django.
 
-You have everything you need to have Django running from IIS. Now visit http://site/myfolder/ to take a look. You don't need to manually start a Django server.
+ * Create a file called ''helloworld.py'' in c:\test\proj folder with the following content:
 
-... I'll leave you to sort out your Import Path and DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE and stuff ...
+{{{
+from django.http import HttpResponse
 
-Now, while I don't have an app running, I do have Django errors rather than IIS errors. I need to get my model access sorted for my test app.
+def index(request):
+    return HttpResponse("Hello world!")
+}}}
+
+ * Modify ''urls.py'' in c:\test\proj folder, so you get the url "dispatched":
+
+{{{
+from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
+
+urlpatterns = patterns('',
+    # Example:
+    # (r'^newtest/', include('proj.apps.foo.urls.foo')),

+    # Uncomment this for admin:
+#     (r'^admin/', include('django.contrib.admin.urls')),
