Project Won't Run On New Computer 1

[jfrost10]

Hey guys,

here's my scenario:
we want to show our client what we have so far, and we're moving it from one server to another.

ServerA: dev server, has vs.net and sql server
ServerB: demo server, has sql server but NO vs.net
both are win2k machines.

Now, I've copied all the files from ServerA to ServerB, including hte project's bin folder with the DLL's in it. I've done the virtual directory thing, etc etc.

Problem: I get an error on the demo machine when I try to log into our app saying that an object wasn't created, but it works fine on my dev machine!

Do I maybe need to set permissions on the dll again or something?

Any thoughts?

Only thing I can think of is that the SQL connection may not be set properly or the database itself isn't quite right. From what you have described though either of those seem unlikely.

You aren't useing any COM or COM+ anywhere are you?

No, the sql server part works fine (I have another app on the server that connects to the same sql server, different db, and has no problem). it just can't see the dll at all that has the objects. Really screwy.

Even screwier: I installed WebMatrix on the server, and from there it actually runs! Great right?

Well, I have a file-upload area thats a huge sell for hte cients, and it WON'T WORK in webmatrix because it masks the actual path of the file.

Grrrrr....

You were right Mark, I had forgotten to give the aspnet user permissions with the database.
