Okay we are pushing out one of our first real web projects with VS 2005.
Setup is as follows:
We have a Windows 2003 Server with IIS 6.0 running on it. FrontPage 2002
server extensions are installed. Framework 2.0 is installed. We have a
default web with a virtual directory that is pointing to another drive path
appart from the default wwwroot where the default web is based.
I have created the virtual directory added front page support to the web and
then made sure that the FW was set to 2.0.
The problem is that when you try to add a new item from the VS 2005 IDE you
get the following error returned in a pop up from the IDE.
Unable to add 'C:\Documen ts and Settings\carterk\Local
Settings\Temp\pbqslcbk.0fa\Default.aspx' to the web. Server error: The folder
"/test2" is marked executable. You are not allowed to put files into an
executable folder on this server.
Did a search for this on MSDN and found only one reference.
*** Visual Basic Reference: Error Messages
Unable to put files in an executable folder
Your Internet Information Services (IIS) settings for your default Web
server need to be set to Scripts and Executables or you will not be able to
complete your Web project creation.
For a complete description of these settings and instructions, see "Setting
Web Server Permissions" in the IIS documentation.
***
I checked the defualt web and it was not set to scripts and executables.
Changed that and had the same results even after restarting the web server.
Does anyone have a clue what might be wrong here. User has adminstrative
rights on the server and workstation. Everything looks fine from what I can
tell but this is killing this projects dead in its tracks!
HELP!!!
It's the folder "/test2" that is set to executable, not the default web
site. Change the setting for this folder to Script only.
FrontPage 2002 can also give you a similar problem if the folder is marked
as Write. Uncheck this too if necessary.
If you still have trouble with the FP 2002 extensions, then use FTP instead.
In my opinion, FP 2002 extensions should have been scrapped a long time ago.

Well... the solution was right on but only allowed us to get to the next
problem. Looks like remote debugging is not supported though a firewall. Our
internal network design has a firewall between the development workstaions
and the web server we are working on.
We are going to have to try and get a port on the network where the web
server lives to resolve the issue by the looks of it.
I'm looking at other options on MSDN now to try and possibly debug locally
on the web server though a remote desktop connection.

Install PWS on your local machine and work locally. You can also use the
mini-web server that comes with VS.NET 2005 instead of using PWS or IIS (but
for some kinds of application only, like applications without uploading).
You should never

The only reason we are doing the development for this web application from
the dev workstation with IIS or PWS is the very firewall that stops remote
debug. The data store for this web application exists on the other network.
Therefore we thought that by doing the developement on a web server on that
network we would be able to work unrestricted.
The development team is forced to work around issues such as this because
the deadlines for the projects are shorter than the time required to open up
access.

Thanks for those links... there is a wealth of information there related to
remote debugging. Unforunately, we are going to have to work around the
firewall until such a time that they can give us a port on that subnet.
You can see a successful connection coming in to the remote debugger, but
the dev station never sees the reply. Thanks for all the help. Time to beat
up on the infrastructure guys.
