bpayne111 Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 I need take a web application and send it from one machine to another. Both machines have IIS installed and running. Do i need to just put it in the wwwroot folder on the other machine? Quote i'm not lazy i'm just resting before i get tired.
Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted September 16, 2003 Administrators Posted September 16, 2003 As long as the other machine has the FrameWork installed you just need to copy certain files over (*.aspx, *.asmx, *.ascx, web.config, *.css, *.xml and the contents of the bin folder - not 100% this is all that is required though). Easiest way is from Visual Studio on the project menu there is a copy project option that can do this for you.

Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted September 16, 2003 Administrators Posted September 16, 2003 If you've got a web project open then it should be aboult half-way down the project menu (from the menu bar at the top). If you've created a data connection through one of the wizards the connection components it puts on the form have a ConnectionString property. If you look at the property window there should be an entry for dynamic properties - this will store the connection string in the web.config file so it can be easily modified later without needing a re-compile.

bungpeng Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Don't forget to set your folder as "application" in IIS in order to run correctly... Quote
tihsin Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Deployment Project Another better way is to create a deployment project ... can build everytime you build your main prject and just transfer the installer over to the other machine ... can be installed even by a non-programmer and layman ...
