wyrd Posted November 23, 2002 Posted November 23, 2002 I get some wacky error when trying to create an ASP.NET Web Application... the default web access mode for this project is set to file share, but the project folder at 'http://localhost/webapplication1' cannot be opened with the path '\\dan-#####\wwwroot$\webapplication1 the error returned was: unable to create project 'webapplication1'. the unc share '\\dan-#####\wwwroot$\webapplication1' does not exist or you do not have access Any ideas what that's all about and how I can fix it? I'm assuming it's some configuration in Windows 2000 that I need to set but since I know little about Win2k I have no idea. :( Quote Gamer extraordinaire. Programmer wannabe.
Moderators Robby Posted November 23, 2002 Moderators Posted November 23, 2002 open Control Panel > Admin Tools > Internet Services Manager... Then click Defaul WEb Browser, find your project, right-click to open Properties and click Create. Quote Visit...Bassic Software
wyrd Posted November 23, 2002 Author Posted November 23, 2002 I don't have a Internet Services Manager. :( I even did a search on my HD and nothing came up. That a big thing? Heh. Quote Gamer extraordinaire. Programmer wannabe.
*Gurus* Derek Stone Posted November 23, 2002 *Gurus* Posted November 23, 2002 The shortcut is installed when IIS is. Try running this (Start -> Run): %SystemRoot%\System32\Inetsrv\iis.msc Quote Posting Guidelines
wyrd Posted November 23, 2002 Author Posted November 23, 2002 Throws me an error saying the file doesn't exist. :eek: Quote Gamer extraordinaire. Programmer wannabe.
Moderators Robby Posted November 23, 2002 Moderators Posted November 23, 2002 another way is to right-click the My Computer on your Desktop > Manage > then select Internet Information Services Quote Visit...Bassic Software
wyrd Posted November 23, 2002 Author Posted November 23, 2002 There is nothing anywhere in the Computer Management that even resembles that. Is there something I'm supposed to have installed? Quote Gamer extraordinaire. Programmer wannabe.
Moderators Robby Posted November 23, 2002 Moderators Posted November 23, 2002 Are you sure that you have Win2k? Did you install IIS? If you have not, you need to un-install the Framework, install IIS then re-install the Framework. (not .NET, just the Framework) Quote Visit...Bassic Software
wyrd Posted November 23, 2002 Author Posted November 23, 2002 I'd hope that this is Windows 2000... Microsoft Windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 3 I know diddly about operating systems though (I was using Win98 for I don't know how many years until 3 weeks ago because I couldn't install .NET on it). What is IIS and where can I get it? :) Quote Gamer extraordinaire. Programmer wannabe.
Moderators Robby Posted November 23, 2002 Moderators Posted November 23, 2002 In control panel > Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components > then select Internet Information Services (IIS). you will need your WIN2k CD for this. And do this only after you un-install the .NET Framework (also in Add/Remove Programs) Quote Visit...Bassic Software
wyrd Posted November 23, 2002 Author Posted November 23, 2002 Ahhh.. Okay will do. Thanks. Quote Gamer extraordinaire. Programmer wannabe.
Leaders John Posted November 23, 2002 Leaders Posted November 23, 2002 I had the same problem with one of the example projects from Microsoft. I guess I was lucky because all I had to do was install IIS and everything worked fine, I didn't have to uninstall the framework and then reinstall it.

wyrd Posted November 24, 2002 Author Posted November 24, 2002 That sounds easy enough. Wouldn't hurt to just try installing IIS first I suppose. :) Quote Gamer extraordinaire. Programmer wannabe.
wyrd Posted November 27, 2002 Author Posted November 27, 2002 Well everything seems to work now except it won't let me debug when I hit the play button (throws me an error and I have to turn off debugging for the project). Oh well for now, I'll figure that out sooner or later. Thanks for the help. :) Quote Gamer extraordinaire. Programmer wannabe.
