ASP.NET on NT4

[rjotco]

I select file new project, VisualBasic Projects from the left, ASP.Net Web Application from the right, and then type the location and hit ok. A screen comes up and says:
Web Access Failed
"The default wed access mode for this project is set to file share, but the project folder" at the location I specified " cannot be opened with the path" they give a slightly different path. "The error returned was:"
"Unable to create Web project" name I gave it. "The UNC share " the slightly different path they give me " does not exist or you do not have access."
I have no idea what to do about this. I am running Windows NT, and I know I cannot run asp.net applications on NT, but it says that I can create them and run them off another machine.
I would greatly appreciate any help given.

Go into the IIS administrator tool and create a virtual directory and check your properties for that web - this will get you on the right track... Hope this helps

cheers Chris

OOps, I didn't see the bottom part - you will have to get the administrator of the other machine to change the IIS properties for the web you want to build Chris

Also, if you are in Visual Studio.NET then you must go to:
Tools->Options->Projects->Web Settings
and set Front Page Extensions as opposed to file share Chris

Thank you for your help. That worked. The problem is that the IIS administrator is on a machine away from my desk. I am now told to find out how to do it using Front Page Server Extensions. Do you know how to do this? I am using NT4

I did what you said, and it is wanting me to enter a password. How do I give myself FrontPage Administrative permission

 

[christheprogrammer]

Never heard that one, perhaps check the actual folders you want to access to see if you have write permission to them. That's my best guess for now Chris
