  Hi,

  I am also having problem in deploying the asp web application.

  I had follow your step to copy the folder to wwwroot.

  But can you be more specific on how to locate my folder in IIS.

  I am not sure whether should I create a virtual directory, and how to locate the folder.

  I would appreciate your help.

  Thanks

  Hi kirti,

  There is no way to publish site if you have install studio 2005 express edition, you have to have studio 2005 professional or enterprise server on your server. i have navigated so many site and then come to this conclusion.

  I have also want to publish one site from my local machine for trial purpose but not ger through becuse of some access issue i am able to see site using local ip and port. but not able to access site using WAN IP any comment on this

  The problem u have is u might have created the web site in FTP folder..tats the main reason u r not able to access it from the remote machine.. while creating new website in VISUAL WEB DEVELOPER EXPRESS EDITION it automatically gets stored in FTP folder.Every time u run u r web site it runs from its own servre which keeps changing often. So u have to change the FTP to HTTP which is the localhost.Then as usual u can access the website throuhg URL http://ServerName/WebSiteName/....from the remote machine..

  I have tried lots of option for doing such things. I have tried all 4 option which were given their in IDE of visual studio 2005 developer edition. but belive me or not none of the option work to deployee website through it. I have noticed that when we compile and run any webpage from VS 2005 dev edition it runs on some dynamically created port like 7008 or 40082. after trying out all option i ordered VS 2005 180 day trial version and installed it on same machine and i am able to deploye my site. so i suggest you to don't keep burning your fingers trying out to deployee site through VS 2005 express edition which is free downloadable

  You shouldn't need to use a "deploy" feature. All you need to do is copy the folder containing the site to the wwwroot folder. Then go into IIS, find the folder and right click and select properties. You should see an "Application Name" text box that is disabled with a "Create" button next to it. Click that button. Then go to the ASP.NET tab and change the version of ASP.NET to 2.0 and you should have a working site

  This is a true bummer. I have been hamemring out sites locally too then to find that there is no way to publish them But why is there the "Copy Web Site" element, which then is "Supposed" to allow us to publish from local to remote or back and even to FTP, HTTP, Local or even a 4th way/area These elements are much like Frontpage is in that usability allows for the admin to publish local copies of their web work to a server. I still cannot believe that we cannot publish these sites.

  Does anyone have a work around What if we simply copy the web files we have produced in VWDE and paste them into intepub/root How about loading all the web files from VWDM into Frontpage and then publishing them to an HTTP server We may have to tweak the code, i.e. in relation to the SQL call and all, but folks, something here MUST work, we're missing it I think.

  Generally, to get to the folder, it should be:

  1. Expand the server (your computer name)

  2. Expand Web Sites

  3. Expand Default Web Site

  the folder should be underneath default web site. then right click, properties, create, blah blah blah
