[RESOLVED] Creating Web App in Sub Domain

**rjbudz** · Oct 1st, 2008, 10:47 AM

I have created a small web app in VS 2005. I want to publish it to a sub domain. So we're clear, this is www.xxx.yyy.com, where it will go into xxx

The site runs just fine locally (local host). When I try to publish it, the status bar in VS says Publish started, then Publish failed.

Today, I get no dialog box at all. Yesterday I got this:

Unable to open the Web'http://xxx.yyy.com'. An error occurred accessing your sharepoint services site files. Authors - If authoring against a Web server, please contact the Webmaster for this server's Web site. Webmasters - please see the searver's application event log for more details.

I checked with my new ISP and this is their response:

When using extensions you can not publish directly to the subdomain, you must do so via a subweb of the main domain. Please consult your documentation for details on creating subwebs.

I have no idea what this means much less how to find the documentation to resolve it.

Can I get an assist here? Thanks!!!!!

Hey,

This sounds like it is very much a ISP specific issue. Have you searched your ISP's documentation, i.e. on their website on how to create a subweb on your account?

Most isp's will allow you to select the directory that you would like your subdomain directed to.

I have created a folder in my domain as my sub domain. That is where I am trying to set up the app. The folder exists.

Am I getting the terms Sub Domain and Sub Web wrong? I would think Sub Domain is a folder off (below) the main folder on my ISP's server. Is not Sub Web the same thing?

What questions should I be asking my ISP to resolve the problem (and sound semi-intelligent in the process?)

Who is your ISP? Is there not a tutorial on their website for what you are trying to do? Seems like a reasonably common thing to want to do!

I agree. This has got to be a done pretty often. That's why I'm surprised they didn't refer me to a place to find the info I need.

Should I be searching their site for "Setup Sub Web" or what? Nothing obvious in the FAQ.

What about this.

Is this what you are doing?

**rjbudz** · Oct 1st, 2008, 01:46 PM

Actually, yes it is. Thank you for finding it. I did what it suggested, uploading to yyy/xxx.com.

Publish was successful. However, no server is found at xxx.yyy.com. I get an indication that a web app is available at yyy/xxx.com. Which is fine. I can live with that.

So I guess the app is up there, but I can't make it run. One step at a time, I guess.

Now, any idea what THIS is about? (BTW, 'oblivion' = xxx)

Hey,

Depending on how IIS is set up on their servers, you may have to compile your website into a DLL, rather than placing the code files on the server.

Or, you may have to specify what version of ASP.Net you are wanting to use, see here.

Also, this support article might be of use.

My ISP suggested just FTPing into my main domain, opening my sub domain, and copying the files from my Visual Studio project into that folder. Sounded too easy to actually work. So I tried it.

It did.

I think the last bit had to do with Visual Studio attempting to compile the vb code-behind page (which is exactly opposite of what gep13 just suggested). Apparently the server DOESN'T want a precompiled DLL.

Anyway, all seems well now. Thanks everyone!

You are getting that error because your ISP is running under medium trust which prevents you from publishing precompiled ASP.NET web applications. It's a 'hidden catch' that you find out after you start developing and publishing. You can use visual studio to publish in any case but you must uncheck the box for precompiling.

**rjbudz** · Oct 3rd, 2008, 11:24 AM

Thank you. I haven't tried it or looked for the precompile box, but it sounds like it'll work.

Thanks everyone.
