help!!! I can't even start asp.net........

[Ieuan]

I never tried asp.net or even the classic asp or even any of server side programming... then lately, since i don't have any to do i wanna try the asp.net...

 

The situation goes like this, i tried creating new project in visual studio.net 2003 selecting asp.net web application under vb.net. Suddenly an error was prompted. I really can't remember the description and number of that error.

 

Well I guess, creating a virtual folder is the solution or setting it up as a server, but according to what happen still prompts an error....

 

I tried creating new virtual folder in the IIS under the administrative tools in Windows XP.... I tried it under FTP Sites and something above it....

 

And I also openning the Properties of one of the folder and edit the data under the web sharing tab....

 

But still then prompted an error....

 

Please teach me how.... Thanks....

Any chance you could try it again and record the error message? It helps a lot if you can give people a bit more information on these things.

Also is IIS properly installed on your PC? Can you browse to http://localhost ?

It would have helped if you had posted the error message.

 

Have you installed asp.net on the iis server?

 

If not, run this command....

 

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

ERROR:

 

the web server reported the following url: http://MY_SERVER/WebApplication1. the server name or address could not be resolved..

 

alright, i'll try browsing the http://localhost...

 

thanks...

[Ieuan]

thanks...

 

I don't think, I've tried that before...

 

what exactly is the -i, anyway? what is it for?
