Well...in my PC i have created the virtual directory .I uploaded them the precompiles files with the virtual directory.I do not know whether they need to create another virtual directory there in their PC pointing to the file i have uploaded in their desktop or my virtual directory is sufficient.I do not know what they have been doing.But i just tried to view the site here in my PC giving the said URL.I am just worried coz it dint work..and i was wondering if there is any thing i still have to work on Thanks! confused

Hey .. thanks ..but the virtual directory in my PC is inside my sitename.So i hope the path i have given is correct. confused

Hi... Thanks for the prompt reply.Well..yes the IIS is installed on the machine and it is configured to work with ASP.NET. I do not have the access to their IIS.I think you are trying to say that there must be created some virtual directory in their IIS to point to the folder that i have uploaded.If that is so then...i need not worry...coz it is their job.Is this wat u mean?I am posting you the error that it threw: Server Error in '/' Application. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Configuration Error Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request.

Hi.. I have made a web application using ASP.Net 2.0 and MSSQL 2005.Well..I am really confused as to where I am wrong.I have my site running in my PC and in my LAN.But I have to send the site via FTP to some remote machine.I did it.I uploaded it unto some folder in their desktop.But it doesnt run there.It shud run when it is typed in the browser like http://remotecompterIP//sitename//aliasname//Default.aspx. I have uploaded the precompiled files..published files that is.and another thing i have alos created a virtual directory .Does it matter? However,I also tried doing it without the virtual directory.It shud go like http://remotecomputerIP//sitename//Default.aspx. But this did not work either. Should I upload the files into their wwwroot?is it necessary? Any ideas??Plz help Regards, confused confused

Thanks everyone!! I solved the problem.Well..the mistake was quite simple.I had been giving the hostname as hostname\sqlexpress but it shud have been only hostname. Rest everything was working fine. Cheers! confused -- modified at 5:22 Friday 5th October, 2007 confused

Hi thanks ... Well...I am afraid I dont know about the firewall state in the computer that i am tring to accesss...I will surely find that out ASAP...abt my station ,yes ,the firewall is on but i have defined SQL server and the SQL browser as exceptions for it .That means firewall must not block these applications. confused

Hi..yes the remote server is up and the sql browser service in my local server is running.Any other configurations i need to check? confused

Hi.. I have been assigned to make a database in some remote machine.The machine has MSSQL 2005.I need to connect to that remote machine's sql server via my pc using my SQL Management express.I do have that computer's IP address(say,123.456.789.000),and the username and password.But when i try to connect to the server ,I get the following error: Cannot connect to 123.456.789.000\sqlexpress An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server.When connecting to SQL server 2005,this failure may be caused by the fact that unser the default settings SQL server does not allow remote connections,(provider:SQL Network Interfaces,error:26-Error Locating Server/Instance specified)(Microsoft SQL Server) I am a new programmer and dont know much.But i guess the problem is not in my server but in that server to which i am trying to connect.I guess that server has some instance created or it does not allow remote connections.But i am not sure.Is it so?Or is anything wrong in my server.Any ideas? Thanks confused
