Good Morning,
I am just learning how to host A website. I have created a simple ASP.net
Web Application in Visual Studio 2008 (Visual Basic). When viewing it within
Visual Studio everything works as it should.
I have now set up a Windows 2003 Web Edition Server, I have created one site
that is just a regualr static html site and got that up and running and
figured out all the permissions and I can now view that site no problem.
The ASP Web Application site though I can not get to show for anything,
first thing all I did was copy the folder from my laptop where I created the
app to a folder on ther server, doing that all i got was a 404 error, so I
then figured out I needed to Publish the website from VS2008 so I published
the the application to a file then copied the file over to the server, it
got rid of the error 404 message so it nows seems to be finding the file but
when I right click on the site on the server to browse it wants to download
a file, file is localhost[1] from localhost. If i cancel this file it just
stops, if i say open file it eventually brings up my defaut page in the
website but does not have any of the controls or any functionality just the
static text within the page? When I go to another computer and I navigate
to the webpage it does the same, it wants to down load this file but that is
all it does it does not open the page? I am confussed on what file it is
wanting to down load and why it will not open the page?
I created a sample ASP page just to verify that ASP extensions were working
and that I had them started. I opened notepad wrote a small app to just
display some text and pull back the time off the server, everything is
contained in the one notepad file, That file i can get to work no problem
also, it comes right up when i have that one running.
I have tried several different sites that were created using VS2008 and each
one I can not get to work each one keeps trying to download that
localhost[1] file.
Does anyone know what setting I might have wrong or not activated? I have
been trying to figure this out for days with every setting i can find, and
followed examples in the book and everything I see seems to indicate I
followed the instructions correctly but something is wrong somewhere I just
do not know where it is wrong, IIS, Webserver, Or VS2008.
Thanks for any help,
Jeff
