Server Error in '/' Application
-
Hello All, I am developing a web application which I am planning on running on a server so users can access it via their web browser. I started out by creating the web app on the server by using Front Page Server Extensions. I attempted to run the app by typing the name of the start page in my browser on my development machine and i get the error provided in the subject box of this thread. I am not sure what is causing this? Maybe IIS is not configured right on the server machine. I really need to get going on this project and I would appreciate any help anyone has to offer. Thanks for helping out a newbie!! Frank :confused:

Are you using Visual Studio.NET for your development environment? If so, then what you need to do is: 1. Delete the FrontPage web on the server. ASP.NET apps do not use FP extensions. 2. Open up Visual Studio.NET and create a new web project. In the "Location" field, enter in the name of the web server that you are creating the project on and the name of the project. 3. Hit OK. Visual Studio.NET will take care of creating the virtual directory for you and assign it the settings that it needs to run as an ASP.NET app. That's it! HTH, Bill P. Oakland, CA
