Setting Up Computer to run IIS/ASP.NETwith C#

[Larry J Siddens]

I need some help getting my puter setup to run ASP.NET apps. I have IIS installed and the Web Publishing is running. I have also shared the folder where the app is. I keep getting an error: "http://localhost/ HTTP 500 internal error! Real informative! Can anyone give me some suggestions on what needs to be running? Thanks Larry J. Siddens

Well, for one, you need to install ASP.NET with the .NET Framework. If you're having problems, you should run "aspnet_regiis.exe /i". Read more about aspnet_regiis.exe in the .NET Framework SDK documentation. There's some other options. Another possibility is that your ASP.NET page - or your IIS extension mappings - have an error and are causing a server error. Without knowing more, it's hard to say. The error says it all: server error. Millions of things could be wrong.

Hey, new message! Unable to open Web project "project name". The file path does not correspond to URL 'http://Localhost:/'. the two need to map to the same server location. HTTP Error 403: Access. I get this when I open a project under C#! Larry J. Siddens

HTTP error code 403 is access denied. Check your filesystem permissions and make sure that the account under which ASP.NET runs (by default, a local user named ASPNET) has permissions to at least read and list the files and directories. Also make sure that your account has read/write permissions. Second, you must already have a project in the web application (in this case, the root application on 'localhost'). If you do, you might try typing the name in, like 'http://localhost/project.csproj'. Sometimes VS.NET doesn't show directories correctly, but I've really only experience this with remote servers on a different network (like opening up a project at work from home). Finally, the project in 'http://localhost' has to have that host in the project file itself. The project file is just an XML file so browse to the directory in which your project is located (for example, 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot'), open it up in notepad or some other vanilla text editor, and change the host to match the location in which you're trying to open it.

I've run into this several times before. The most likely this what you need to do. http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?forumid=12076#xx693463xx[^]
