deploying to Windows Server 2003

[dkwall]

I've developed an app in Visual Studio 2003 (Basic) then converted to VS 2005. I developed on Windows XP, IIS v5.1, .Net Framework 1.1. I then upgraded to .Net Framework 2.0.

I'm trying to deploy the application to a Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0 and .Net Framework 2.0. If I point the Default Web Site to the physical directory, I can access the application (minus the images) by requesting

http://localhost/default.aspx.

However, if I create a new web site and point to the same physical directory, I'm unable to find the application. All settings and security config are the same. I can even access remotely by calling

http://<machinename>/default.aspx.

Can anyone tell me how to access the application by calling the new website (instead of localhost).

Hi,

Point the default website directory to c:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot

Then place your website folder inside the

http://wwwroot

folder ~ this folder should then show up under the default website tree.
Right click your site folder >> properties >> Under application name click "create"
Then under the documents tab ensure that default.aspx is at the top of the list.
Click OK

Then go to

http://localhost/YourSiteFolder/

Please see if this helps.

Thanks, this worked, except my company wants the site folder outside the

http://wwwroot

folder (security or convention reasons I guess.) So I took your suggestion but created a new application pool.

Thanks for the help.
