Deploying an InternetApplication on a WebServer

Hi group,

i've created a ActiveX Document EXE. It reads data from an SQL-database and displays it. There is some functionality to search but nothing fancy.

How do I deploy it to the internet?

I've used the package & deploy wizard to create an Internet package. How can i deploy it ON the webserver?

Let's say the Webservers name is: MyWebserver
The directory in wich I want to deploy the application is: MyDir

I've choosen: Deploy
Deployment method: Web Publishing
Items to deploy: - VBD file
- CAB file
- HTM file
(these files where generated by the Package part)
I did not select any additional files
Destination URL : \\MyWebServer\MyDir
Web Publishing protocol: HTTP Post
I checked "unpack and install server-side CAB"

After that I click next and then I get the error:
UNEXPECTED ERROR NUMBER 40042118 HAS OCCURRED. THE POSTINFO FILE ON THE SERVER IS INVALID.

What does that mean? How can I deploy my app to the server?
I use:
Vb6 sp5
ADO 2.5
SQL-server 2000

If you need additional info do not hesitate to ask.

are you sure the hosting server you are using supports this?

uhmmmmm...

Maybe? How can I check this AND WHAT do I need to check?

I asked if we had a (test)webserver and we did...

Hi group,

please don't shoot me...I think i'm about to ask a very stupid question.

I just logged in on the server. When I tried to run my Internet app (ActiveX Document EXE) i got the window "Open with..."

So I checked if VB was installed on the server wich it wasn't.

Isn't this necessary form my app to run?

(Again please don't shoot me...)

Sander

You need to ask whoever setup the server for you. I mean, is it even a Windows Server? Are you talking about some free or pay hosting service you found on the internet? Something at work? You cant just upload a VB project to any hosting service and have it work.

But since I have no clue as to the details of your server, I can t tell you anything.

Hi Cander,

It's a server from our company. It's physicly in the same building as I am.
I've checked with our network boys and the webbies, it's a webserver allright.

It runs Windows 2000 Server.
Visual Basic is NOT installed.

Regards,
