Deploying a WebClass?

[Al Smith]

Hi,
I've created a functional WebClass through VB6's IIS application. I packaged it with P&D and installed it back on my computer. (Win98 and PWS.) I can run it through the Web with http://static.IP/project1/webclass1.asp
I then loaded it on our NT server (IIS4.0) Everything seemed to load OK but it doesn't work. There is no WebClass1.asp installed with the package.

Thinking I did something wrong I re-compiled and re-packaged it. Now I get errors (project1.dll in use and mswcrun.dll in use) when trying to re-install it on the NT.

What am I or what did I do wrong?

Thanks,
Al.

ps. I tried to simply copy the WebClass1.asp file from my computer to the NT but it errors out with a Can't create object error.

When you packaged your webclass, did you make sure you included the .asp file? For instance, in the VB IDE, I named the default WebClass1 to WC. When compliled, a file called WC.ASP is created.

On the IIS side, make sure you create a virtual directory under the root directory. You then enable a default document(under the Documents tab). In my case, I added a default document and pointed it to the WC.ASP file.

Here is the url to a website I created using the webclass
designer:

http://www.clientservices.org

When re-deploying to the server, be sure to stop IIS services, unregister the dll using regsvr32, delete the old dll, re-register the new dll, again using regsvr32. YOu can start services again and hopefully you're in business.

If you need further help, I would be happy to walk you through the process.

Hi,
Thanks for the info. Things are starting to come together. I am having problems with regsvr32. I'm getting a LoadLibrary error but I think I caused this problem by trying do copy project1.dll to another folder. I had 2 dll's and was able to get rid of one of them.

That's a nice looking website you created.
If I run into any more problems I'm sure you'll see a post from me on this site.

Thanks again.
Al.
