Viewing asp.net 2.0 on local machine 2

[checkai]

I have a laptop with a .net 2.0 web site on it...I would like to be able to view that from my desktop (or my bosses)...I'm getting a The page cannot be displayed error code HTTP 500 - Internal Server error....

any ideas? I have it set up as a virtual directory on my laptop and am calling it's full path from my desktop...

http://laptopname.domain.net/MyClients/wfrmClientHome.aspx

ideas?

"...we both know I'm training to become a cagefighter...see what happens if you try 'n hit me..."

It could be one of many things. Firstly, have you set the website to run under version 2.0 of the framework in IIS?

Yes.

Have it's application Name set
security is anonymous and windows auth
customerrors off

"...we both know I'm training to become a cagefighter...see what happens if you try 'n hit me..."

 

[ca8msm]

No, I mean have you set it to use the correct version of the framework (on the ASP.NET tab)?

When you turn off friendly error messages on the browser from your desktop, what kind of error message do you get?

I then get...my customerrors is set to off in my .config file too...


Server Error in '/MyClients' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

"...we both know I'm training to become a cagefighter...see what happens if you try 'n hit me..."

Try doing what the error above suggests.

Is there any sort of authentication being used by the website?

from my laptop if i go to the virtual directory i get the following:


Failed to access IIS metabase.


gives me a KBase article to go to...

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=267904

(did a aspnet_regiis -ga domain\myID)

i do what it tells me to do there, and still cannot access the page locally or remotely

Someone else blazed the trail for you, checkai.

About 2/3 way down the thread, the solution (for this guy) is there; he had installed IIS AFTER .Net, which was the cause of the problem. He uninstalled the .Net framework and reinstalled, and lived happily ever after.

hth
