a new bin directory

[seanbo]

my web host is being a bit slow at updraging to win2k3, so i've put the website i'm making on my intranet site (running of my win xp dev machine). it all seems to be lovelly, and the scripts are doing as they should. now it's working though, i want to move the aspx pages and their associated server side scripts to the directory containing my website.

at the moment

http://wwwroot

is my localhost. it has two folders in it (well, actually it has loads, but let's keep this simple). one folder is called MyWebApp, and was created by vs2k3. it is the location of my working aspx and c# stuff. the other folder is called Website, and is where my website is (eg,

http://wwwroot/website/index.htm

is my homepage).

i want to move my aspx, web.config, and the entire bin directory to my website folder, and run it from there. i've already copied the files, and updated the links, but i get a 'configuration error'. i assume this has got something to do with setting up a valid bin directory.

what should i do now?

In IIS did you hit the Create button next to Application Name to activate it for ASPX files? (The button will say Remove if you did)

If not try that. Just guessing...

Hope everyone is having a great day!

i can't find the thing your talking about.

i already have bin files running, but they stop running if i move them from the bin folder that vs2k3 made, to a folder i made and just called bin.

Open Internet Service Manager and use the tree to get to your web folder. Right click on your web folder and select Properties. Change to the Home Directory Tab. In the bottom section Application Settings. The button next to Application Name... does it say Create or Remove. If it says remove, you have already done this step if it says Create. Click on the Create Button. Visual Studio did this for you on your Local Host when it created the initial project. When you copied the folder, it didn't automatically do it for you.

Hope this clarifies what I was suggesting. Again it is just a guess.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Thanks - Jennifer
