https and deployment project (IIS 5.0)

[wrbodine]

Hi,

We have an asp.net project that we're copying from our development web server to the live web server (IIS 5.0, Windows 2000). This was giving us some problems just moving the pages, so we created a deployement project within Visual Studio .NET and it worked great. Now we want to use https:// for a more secure site, using port 443 instead of port 80. In the setup of the deployment project you can choose the port, and we picked 443, but then encountered the following error:

The specified path '

http://ServerName:443/VirtualFolderName'

is unavailable. The Internet Information Server might not be running or the path exists and is redirected to another machine. Please check the status of this virtual directory in the Internet Services Manager.

Is there a way to use a deployment project and also use https?

Thanks much,
Ray
