I am a web services newbie - need some help to deploy a project.
Works fine on my local server but when I run "Copy Project" to a local directory and copy the required files (.asmx file. web.config, global.asax and the bin directory) to a remote server and then try to reference in another project via "Add Web Reference", I get an error message:
"The proxy settings on this computer are not configured correctly for web discovery."
Can you tell me how do u generate those files...i m also working in web service..do u use any command line..
Did you create a Virtual Directory on the remote machine?
No, I have been doing it using the VS IDE.
No, I didn't create a virtual directory on the target machine. How do I do that?
OK, it worked fine when I put the asmx file and the bin directory in the root of the server. How do I get it to work from a folder off the root?
Is using web services the preferred way to connect to a remote SQL database via a windows app? ie.authenticate via a public method and connect to and retrieve/edit data in your database via a private method.
Your control panel will allow you to create a new directory on the server. That should inherently imply the creation of a virtual directory. Uploading your files after that should make it work.Quote:
