[ganusha]

whenever i start to ceate a new project,it show me a default path as mydocuments/visual studio and if i change the path to c:/inetpub/

http://wwwroot

it doesn't allow me to save the .sln file in that root.
The error given is
cannot create a web based disk application in the given path as this direstory c:/inetpub/

http://wwwroot

is already configured as a front page web.u can open that web instead.

please help.

VI always stores a web in 2 places - the 'master' site (often on a separate server) and a 'local' development site (on your local pc).

When you create a new VI web, it first asks where to plonk the 'Local' copy. Put this anywhere on your pc that is NOT part of the existing PWS/IIS home directory. Create a new dirstory called 'd:\devweb\' or whetever and put theme there. The local copy includes the solution (.sln) file that is not needed on the master web.

VI then goes on to create (or modify if it already exists) the master web - which if it is also on your own PC, will be in the c:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot

anyway (you do not have much choice about this). It cannot store the local and master in the same place!!

but where will the asp and html pages be stored,in the root or in the local folder where the .sln file is??

 

[MerlinB]

both - say you create 'mynewweb' site:

Master
c:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\mynewweb\global.asa

Local
c:\webdev\mynewweb\mynewweb.sln
c:\webdev\mynewweb\mynewweb\mynewweb_local\global.asa

global.asa is just one example file
your .asp and .html will go here too.

got u.
Now i'm trying to run a project from interdev and it says
unable to set server into correct debugging state.You may not be able to debug ASP pages.
Can u tell me what's wrong.
i can run individual pages from the IE though but i need to seggregate everything in a project and be able to debug my pages.

Oh! Now, debugging is a horrendous thing to configure. You will need to search msdn (msdn.microsoft.com), make sure you select the Knowledge base and MSDN Archived Content in the Advanced Search bit. Or search this site.

Basically, you need to configure various DLL's and COM objects to have execute permissions for the Anonymous User (IUSR_machinename).

Try setting the web permissions to NT_User, so it runs using your own login access rights. This may help!
