    Resolved [RESOLVED] Deploy Asp.Net webforms app.

    I've just finished recreating a GUI in webforms (VS2008). I've managed to get it working with the codebehind class, a global module, and a few of the slightly modified core classes from my desktop app.
    I've built the project and it works ok in debug mode, but i can't successfully deploy it. These are the classes i used...

    I've tried deploying with the built .dll and the .aspx files, which doesn't work. My web hosting provide a web.config file behind the scenes.
    I have another 3.5 framework webforms app. that runs fine on my hosting, but that is a much simpler app, consisting of just the .aspx, the codebehind, and the compiled .dll...

    What files do i need to deploy?

    I haven't used Web Forms for a long time so I don't know all the ins and outs but can't you just right-click on the project and select Publish?

    Re: Deploy Asp.Net webforms app.

    Do you have access to IIS on your hosting machine? This may be outdated advice, but I know that back in previous versions of Windows Server (2003, 2008, etc.) if you "deploy" an ASP.NET project that contains dependencies to the server by simply copying all appropriate files to the server, the folder that the files get placed in to needed to be configured as an Application within IIS in order for all dependent .dll files to be loaded, etc.

    I haven't touched anything relating to that kind of stuff on whatever the most recent Windows Server version is, so not sure if that process still is required.

    Re: Deploy Asp.Net webforms app.

    This is what I do when I publish my sample site to Someone.

    1. Right Click Project and Publish to a folder in Release Mode.
    2. Zip the content of the Publish folder.
    3. Upload the zip file to Deploy location.
    4. Unzip the files
    5. Access the Web.

    Where do you deploy the files(Hosting Provider)

    Re: Deploy Asp.Net webforms app.

    As I said, I have a simpler 3.5 framework web forms app. that I’ve had running on the same site for a few years. I remember from the time I deployed that app. that I needed to talk to my web hosting support people who helped me set it up. This time they’ve said they don’t see any problems. I’ll try the publish command...

    This is not giving full details of the error. Please modify the config file and find this tag

    Code:
    <configuration>
        <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off>
        </system.web>
    </configuration>
    This will display full details of the error message.

    Re: Deploy Asp.Net webforms app.

    From the Error, I can see that the IIS folder is not setup correctly. The Server is not able to recognize the Asp.net Application. Also I see that the Version of .Net framework is configured as 4.0.

    Either change the version of IIS in root directory of the application or in the Application Pool

    Also do I clean and Rebuild , then deploy the project.

    This is clearly a version mismatch error

    Ok thanks for the explanation. I'll call my web hosting tech support later and sort this problem out...
