.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / April 2008Enabling ASP-running webserver on a local machine
I have problems enabling my machine to work locally as a webserver. I wish to test some ASP.NET code but this far i must be missing something because i've got no response as requested. Could a kind soul point me to a tutorial or a walkthru on how to configure Vista Business (VS.NET 2008 Express installed with DotNet 3.5) to give the correct response when called with http://localhost/that_file.asp -- Regards Konrad Viltersten -------------------------------- sleep - a substitute for coffee for the poor ambition - lack of sense to be lazy Hi Konrad, I just went trough the same problem ... I was running IIS on Windows XP and the aspx files didn't run as they should... When looking at the configuration I noticed that the aspx-files were not enabled... my solution: from the command promt run .... C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i and it solved the problem .... Maybee you will have to do the same for your problem... I'm not sure this will work for the 3.5 framework but maybee google knows :-) John >I have problems enabling my machine to work locally as a webserver.

IIRC you need to enable "asp" explicitly in IIS. I don't have Viste myself, so I can't check. Hans Kesting >> I have problems enabling my machine to >> work locally as a webserver. I wish to [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > call an "asp" (old ASP) file instead of > an aspx? No typo. I assumed that both "asp" and "aspx" worked equally fine, with the only difference that the user can "see" what kind of ASP it is. Is that incorrect? > IIRC you need to enable "asp" explicitly > in IIS. I don't have Viste myself, so I > can't check. I think that regardless of WinXP or Vista you still can help me with these two questions (so you'll be useful anyway). :) 1. Is http://localhost/that_file.aspx the correct syntax to request the local file? 2. Where exactly will the file be stored in the ..\Visual Studio 2008\ directory structure when i build a project? Thanks! -- Regards Konrad Viltersten -------------------------------- sleep - a substitute for coffee for the poor ambition - lack of sense to be lazy re: !> I assumed that both "asp" and "aspx" worked equally fine, with the only !> difference that the user can "see" what kind of ASP it is. Is that incorrect? With the caveat that each must be specifically authorized, no, it's not incorrect. re: !> 1. Is http://localhost/that_file.aspx the correct syntax to request the local file? Only if you're using IIS to request that_file.aspx and the file is located in the root directory ( usually drive:\inetpub\wwwroot\ ) re: !> 2. Where exactly will the file be stored in the ..\Visual Studio 2008\ directory structure when i build a project? If it's a File System project : drive:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\ProjectName If it's an IIS-based app, wherever in the IIS directory structure you created it.

Can i request a file from the folder you mention above somehow? I've tried to set it as a website using IIS-manager but got only errors, as was the case for any directory not in the wwwroot-folder. > If it's an IIS-based app, wherever in the IIS > directory structure you created it. Does it need to be an IIS-project if i wish to request my files, making the <% =getStuff %> convert to some stuff? The issue with the wwwroot-folder is that i can't edit the file iisstart.htm, allthough i'm logged on as an administrator... -- Regards Konrad Viltersten -------------------------------- sleep - a substitute for coffee for the poor ambition - lack of sense to be lazy Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
