Welp...dunno if this is the proper way to do this...but this is how I've done it in the past when I've totally confusted myself to no end.
Open your local web - the one on your hd.
Create a folder File | New Folder name it whatever you want your subweb to be named.
Then, select that folder in Folder List and right click that...Convert To Web (it'll be empty)...then you can Import your stuff froma folder on your hd. OR Publish to it from your online server.
Yes, subwebs are really separate...but show up inside your main web on Folder List.
Usually this works, although sometimes I've had Permissions issues with doing it this way.
| I got exactly one step further hehe. On attempting to create the subweb
| got the error:
|
| Unable to create a disk-based web at "c:\webshare\mynameweb" because its
| parent web would not be a disk-based web. Create the disk-based web
| elsewhere, outside of your web server's hierarchy.
|
| If I read that correctly it means a subweb cannot be below the 'parent'
| folder of a web? So we have to create separate clusters of subwebs?
|
| The 'parent' web is a sub-folder of c:\webshare and is not designated
| as a web altho it functions as a disk-based web.. So how does one create
| a subweb anyway? Create it elsewhere and move it to where you want it to be?
