[RESOLVED] IIS problem??

[dark87]

i tried making a virtual directory in the IIS but they throw me this error.. Failed to access IIS metabase.
I tried by using the VS2005 to run it and i have no problems running it.. Do i need to make some changes to the web.config?? cause my database as i am using is MySQL.

thanks

the problem for the IIS has been solved.. ok.. I have another problem with it.. As in the VS2005, i add some coding to the web.config as i will direct me back to the login page. As it work fine in the VS2005 but when i tried putting it in the IIS.. I tried going into other pages and it can be done without even having to authenticate.. Does any one know where the problem lies??

thanks

do i need to update my server extensions?? cause the iis said that my server extensions is old...

i am using IIS version 5.1

Hmm... I doubt you need to do that. If you have forms authentication, it should protect your pages. But it doesn't, which makes me wonder - what is the URL structure on 'production' and on DEV?

can you say it in simplier terms?? if URL structure i don't know it means this..

http://myipaddress/TheWebSitePage

as the files are copied and put into wwroot to make that as the default page

Do you have the website configured to use ASP.NET 2.0 on the production server?

Go to IIS ( Start > run > inetmgr)
Expand the tree view till you get to 'default website'. Under that you should find "YourApplicationName". Right click that, properties, ASP.NET tab. You'll see a dropdown there where you can specify the ASP.NET version to use.

well.. if that is the case.. i have chosen the ASP.NET version. the version i have chosen is 2.0.50727.. It stills go into the webpage (.html) extensions without asking for the person credentials..

Aah, .html extension. You see, this is the kind of information that you may think was irrelevent earlier, but is of relevance to us.

Your .html extensions are mapped to the ASP.NET ISAPI dll on your own machine but not on the remote server.

On the remote server, go to IIS, right click on your website/virtual directory, properties, configuration, and add the .html extension, mapping it to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll
