create ASP.NET website on windows 2000 server IIS 5 2

[kurie]

Hi all
What do i have to install on windows 2000 server IIS 5 to run asp.net website. and what steps do i follow.

Thanks

You just need the relevant .NET framework (I'd assume it is version 1.1 due to the old web server you are using). Follow the instructions from the Microsoft website for installation instructions.

get a test box, a virtual machine will works well too. The idea of "testing" in production will have disastrous results.

Thanks guys.
I tried but its still not working, The website displays html elements only but doesnt display asp.net controls.
Do i have to do anything else after installing framework 1.1

thanks jmeckey for the suggestions.

Just make sure that .aspx files are handled by the .NET framework in IIS. You can also try running "aspnet_regiis -i" from the framework folder.

this is the error message im getting now, i have tried changing the config file as the error is suggesting but with now lucky


Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

You will need to find out the real error. Change the config file as instructed and run the page from the server. Also, have a look in the server event log.

thanks i wasnt running it on the server.
looks like its a problem with .net framework 3.5. Since i installed framework 1.1 on the server and i build my app using 3.5. my server is running window2000 so cant install .net framework 3.5.

Yes, that will be the problem - you have to use the same version of the framework that you built your site to run on. And Windows 2000 won't run version 3.5 of the framework so you will have to upgrade the server OS.
