Why doesnt it work in a remote server ?

[SoftwareMaker]

I have simple asp.net page that goes like

<%Response.Write ("Hello World")%>

This page works ok at my local server running both Win2K Pro and WinXP Pro (IIS5, .NET Enabled)

However, when I upload it to my site (IIS 5, also .NET enabled), it returns the aspx customerror crap...Seems to me every aspx page that works on my localhost doesnt work over at my remote site. And the ASP.NET Custom error page is proof that .NET is installed on their server.

Can anyone tell me what is missing at their server that I should tell them abt ? Thanks for any help. I appreciate it.

Could Someone please help ? Thanks

If you run with the debug turned on, what error do you get? That should point us in the right direction so we can figure this out.

Sorry, I havent worked on .NET yet- so I cant tell what the problem is - however I believe - it has something to do with the IIS settings.

I need help, please help me.

The Problem:

how does one configure something like:

Search.mySiteName.com

ie.

If I have a folder named search

then in IE i can call the default page by :

www.mySiteName.com/search

but I want it this way:

http://search.mySiteName.com

How to do it???

Kindly help.

bye

Thanks for the reply.

Hi Kleptos, Thanks for the reply. The debug is turned on via the web.config file at the root directory BUT it refuses to read the file or any ASPX (ASP.NET) page at all. Why ?

Hi veryjohny, what you want to do is in the domain of the web administrators. Only they will be able to configure an additional hostheader setting for you.

Anyone can help me with my ASP.NET page problem ?

Is this page your getting the error on in the root or off in someother deeper subdirectory? Does that subdirectory have access to run scripts and is ASP.NET setup correctly over on the remote computer?>

Hey Klep,

Remember that this aspx page works on my own machine (IIS 5 .NET enabled with Win2KPro and WinXPPro). It just doesnt work with the remote server (live web server, Win2K server IIS 5 .NET Enabled)

Most of the pages are ASP and HTML Pages. I do have a test folder containing all ASP.NET pages and thats where the error occurs. ASP and HTML pages show ok in that folder BUT not the aspx page

http://www.softwaremaker.net/swmwebtest/asp.nettest/error.htm

http://www.softwaremaker.net/swmwebtest/asp.nettest/debugok.aspx

This error aspx page script goes like
<%Response.Write ("Hello World")%>

That directory has access to run scripts and as you can see from the asp.net custom error message, i guessed asp.net is set up on the server. I, think is a IIS error...

Can anyone help ?

Hmmm, with the errors and such, it has .NET installed, so thats not the problem. I created the page on my server and it runs fine, so maybe its something with the remote server. Not fully configured for .NET, it may be a premission problem. Other then that i dunno, without looking at the actual server. Have you tried maybe another page, something simple, although the one you tried doesnt get much simpler. I am at a loss here for this one...

[SoftwareMaker]

Thanks a lot Kleptos for all your help. You have been very helpful.

Yeah man, I am at a loss too...Looks like I will need to ask for my money back if it doesnt work soon. The system administrators at the remote server are at a loss too...Hhhmmm

Can anyone please help me ?

HELP ANYONE ?

Hi man,
I'm having the same problem now..
did u figure it out?

[SoftwareMaker]

Yes, I have managed to get it to work in the end.

However, there could be many reasons why your problem, just like mine, arises.

If that problem of yours arises from the same root as mine, you can point your web administratora to troubleshoot to this area =>

I hope this will solve your problem.

I got it to work, the reason is the same I think, the asp accound persmission wasn't correctly set.


thanks....
Happy programming!
