Enabling ASP-running webserver on a local machine
K Viltersten
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

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
:-)

Just to be sure - you request a file by
entering into url-line the following:
and the file testme.aspx is located on
your drive at what location?

Is that a typo, or did you really mean to call an "asp" (old ASP) file
instead of an aspx?
IIRC you need to enable "asp" explicitly in IIS. I don't have Viste
myself, so I can't check.

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?

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!

With the caveat that each must be specifically authorized, no, it's not incorrect.
re:

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:

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.

The files are there but the ASP-magic doesn't
happen to my files as i click on them. i've
been instructed to REQUEST them instead.
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.

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...
