Create a Windows IIS site as an application?

[zil...@gmail.com]

I read the win_iis_website docs and am able to create an IIS site. However, the IIS GUI has a text box for "Alias" but the module does not? So how can I add an alias for the site?

Thanks,

Actually that's the wrong question.

In the IIS GUI, I can "Add Website" and give it these parameters

- Alias : Default Web Site

- Application Pool: DefaultAppPool

- Physical path: %SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot

- IP Address: All Unassigned

- Port: 90

- Host name: localhost

But when I try to mimic this with Ansible with

- name: Create Default Web Site

  win_iis_website:

    application_pool: "DefaultAppPool"

    name: "Default Web Site"

    port: "90"

    ip: "*"

    physical_path: "%SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot"

    state: started

I get 

TASK [install-site : Install Default IIS site] ************************

fatal: [10.227.26.97]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "specified folder must already exist: physical_path", "site": {}}

What am I missing?
