If I wanted to set my test site to be the default site so when I enter in my IP in IE it will display my initial page, how do
I configure IIS to do this? Also, what security and permissions should I set?
I'm sure I will have many other questions on some coding too so stayed tuned.
My initial page is index.aspx.
Go easy on me guys, remember this is my first time so please dont beat me for asking an easy question. ;) :lol:
well, what I do is set a favorite to http://localhost/index.aspx
or whatever file/path it is....
Umm, I'm getting a error that its not found. "Server Error in '/' Application."
I cant even view the page in my browser. Its a publishing
issue or something. I have a virtual site created by the project.
if you go into C:\Inetpub\wwwroot that is where all of you stuff is hosted for IIS....
In my folder, I have a folder called Fusion, because that is the name of my project, so my url that I set is:
http://localhost/Fusion/LoginForm.aspx
also another way to find your virtual path is to go into IIS in the control panel under administrative tools. Under WebSite-->Default Websites should be the project that you are doing. If you right click properties on your project and go the the ASP .NET tab, there is a textbox that gives you your virtual path...
Right, thats whats going on here. I have http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/WebApp1/index.aspx and I get a 404 error :( But if I just enter in my IP then I get the Default Web Site that IIS generates. How can I make it so I can enter in my IP and it goes to /WebApp1/index.aspx ?
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. :(
I have a sub directory below the Default Website of my virtual site of WebApp1 where I have my asp.net
project residing - WebApp1.
In INETMGR, right click "Default Web Site", and go to the Documents tab.
Add "foldername/pagename.aspx" as the only document in there, sans quotes.
might sound easy, but is IIS started?
Soundedgood but still getting the default iis under construction page.
I even stoped and restarted the site, closed IE and reenterred the addy. :(
How about Home Directory vs. Documents for setting the folder path? I tried both and still :(
Ps, I stopped IIS Admin service and restarted it too.
Ah yeah, there's that option too, set your sub folder as the HOme Directory. Post a snapshot of your tabs (Home directory and default documents)... maybe you're too n00bish to configure it right. :)
Ok, somehow I got this error:
Line 37: by Microsoft that offers a single logon and core profile services for member sites.
Line 38: -->
Line 39: <authentication mode="Windows" />
Line 40:
Line 41:
Here is a SS of the IIS Manager.
Edit: I told you I was a n00b but maybe I'm being a super n00b tonight. :( :lol:
Ok froggy here it is.
Edit:
Awe, @#$@# I think I know what it is? I have my server 2003 recieving the 80 port forwarding from my router and I'm on my XP system developing
the pages to the local host.
I think its time to call it quits. I'm making a mess. Need sleep. :)
I'll try this again tomorrow night.
Thanks guys. :thumb:
Change the default document to "Index.aspx".
Change the home directory to C:/inetpub/wwwroot/WebApp1
How would I "publish" the pages to my server? I am developing the site on my XP system (localhost) and I need it to
go to my \\ServerName\Inetpub\wwwroot.
*RUFF!*
Can I just copy over the aspx files or do they need to be published to my server somehow?
I just copied the WebApp1 folder over to my servers wwwroot dir and changed the documnet and home dir like froggy posted and
its working now.
Still want to know if this is the propery way?
Thanks
"Publishing" is a fancy word for copying over (for the most part)
To deploy an ASP.NET app, you only need to ensure the virtual directory is in place, and your ASPX, BIN, ASCX, DLL, OCX, CSS, etc. are in place.
When deploying to a production server to which you have remote access/direct access, you can create a web setup project, it'll create the virtual dir for you and copy the files over.
Else you can go the copy route.
Thanks you mucho Froggy :D
