I updated it just recently, as there were some omissions.

The root of the web application - it's an ASP.NET convention. If
http://example.com/HelloWorld/ is an ASP.NET application that is
stored C:\HelloWorld\, then http://example.com/HelloWorld/hello.wsgi
-> ~/hello.wsgi -> C:\HelloWorld\hello.wsgi. Using ~/... allows the
app's folders to be moved around the file system without breaking the
configuration.

So you were able to get the HelloWorld app to work using wildcards, correct?

I think this is going to take some deeper digging - do you know how to
get a metabase.xml file? Can you send me a copy of yours directly
(off-list)?
