Setting Project in Existing Web

[jkelly2956]

I have a few existing web sites set up under IIS and they are using host headers. The IIS Setup looks like

Default Web Site
Test.Site1 --> inetpub/

http://wwwroot/site1

Test.Site2 --> inetpub/

http://wwwroot/site2

Test.Site3 --> inetpub/

http://wwwroot/site3

..etc

These all contain asp3.0 code but I want to start adding new pages that are aspx. When I try to set up a new project at test.Site1 it tries to put the project

http://test.Site1/WebApplication1

If I accept this then it creates all the neccesary files (web config,bin, etc) inside this folder and since there is already a copy of these files in the root of the web. I have to copy my dll's to the outer bin folder.

If I try to get VS.NET to created the project at

http://test.Site1

Then it tells me that "The web \ does not exist on server http:test.Site1"

How do I create a project at the root of these existing websites?

In IIS did is there a Create Button next to the Application Name in the properties for the website?

If there is - try to click on that button and see if it works.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Thanks - Jennifer

What should the application name be? Site1 or test.site1.

Right now I am setting these projects up from my laptop using a file share to connect to the test server. Is that a problem?

I got it going. The problem was with IIS 6.0. I had to set it to allow .tmp files to be served via HTTP. They are not allowed by default.

Good Article about it
