access to local site
-
Hi, I am developing a asp.net 2.0 on my local machine. How is it possible for me to allow two users to run the website from their machine? Does this mean I have to send them a url pass or something similar? P.S. this is just a temporary solution for something they want to do using the website for now. Thanks
You will see that you normally have a folder with the name of your website on you C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ take that name and paste it in the next url on the place of . Try to remember you computer name (or search it in your control panel) and place it in the next url on the place of Choose some page the user has to visit http:\\\.aspx Now pass this url to those guys and normally it should work just the same way as you were surfing.

There is no folder for the project in C:\inetpub\wwwroot Could it be because i am running 2.0 ? Thanks
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot is the folder where your IIS runs, if you do not have this folder IIS will be configured to use another folder. To know which folder you can go to Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Internet Information Services (IIS) Click the + open till you have a list of websites running on your computer Search that one that you wish to access from other computers and the name that's mentionned over there is the name you should use then.

Hi, Followed your guide but it does not appear in that list either. Any ideas please? Thanks
What is the address you test with?? Should be something as http://localhost/mywebsite/ or http://127.0.0.1/mywebsite/ then take that "mywebsite" part and paste it into http://yourpcname/mywebsite/

In the development environment I just press the run button i.e the green play button. Thanks

Okay, but then it opens in web browser i hope (otherwise it can't be an asp.net website) so in a web browser you have an address bar somewhere ... in that addressbar should be the url, the url is that that you need in my previous post.
This is in the url when it opens up for the first time http://localhost:1281/mysite/

Then you type in the browser of those other persons http://:1281/mysite/ with your pc name, the name of your pc as it is known on the local network, what you also can use is your ip-address (start->run->cmd->ipconfig) and read the number like 192.168.2.25 for example the you can use http://192.168.2.25:1281/mysite/

So just to clarify, do they just type this in their browser ? http://192.168.2.25:1281/mysite/ Thanks

NOOO in stead of 192.168.2.25 you have to use YOUR IP ADDRESS (which i don't know so I can't tell you, you have to look it up!) Go to START, press "RUN", type in "CMD" press "OK" typ in "IPCONFIG" press "ENTER" you get some letters on your screen one will say IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.25 (but it will be your ip address, not likely this one) you take THAT IP ADDRESS (which is YOURS) and make with THAT number the combination http://YOUR IP ADDRESS/mysite/ and give that to those people.

okay add to that address the page they have to access for example when they have to go to "login.aspx" define that: htp://192.168.2.25:1281/mysite/login.aspx
