Help for Newbie!

[Damon]

Hi,

I am trying to open up a .vbproj in Visual Studio.Net 2003 but it come up
with the following error "Unable to open web project 'EntaWebMain'. The file
path 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\EntaWebMain\SDH' does not correspond to the URL
'http://LocalHost:/EntaWebMain.' The two need to map to the same server
location. HTTP Error 404: Object not found."

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? I'm new to this and it is
very frustrating.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Damon

Damon,

Often is the reason for this kind of errors that you have no IIS webserver
installed on your computer.

You can install that by Add Programs -> Microsoft components.

I hope this helps,

Open the IIS Manager (Administrative Tools of Control Panel) and in the Web
Sites, Default Web Site check that you have really a virtual directory named
EntaWebMain pointing to http://LocalHost/EntaWebMain

If you are new it would be a good idea to create a dummy new Web Application
to learn the pieces of the puzzle:

- The .sln solution file in the "My documents\Visual Studio
Projects\WebApplication1" folder whose content points to, say:

Project("{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}") = "WebApplication1",
"http://localhost/WebApplication1/WebApplication1.csproj",
"{1ACFF210-82A5-46B1-B32A-583F6EBF824B}"

- The .vbproj or .csproj project file in the
"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication1" folder

- The WebApplication1.csproj.webinfo file in the
"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication1" folder whose content is:

<VisualStudioUNCWeb>
<Web URLPath = "http://localhost/WebApplication1/WebApplication1.csproj"
/>
</VisualStudioUNCWeb>

- The IIS virtual directory (use the IIS manager) mapped to
"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication1".

If those pieces match, the it should work.

Hi Carlos!

If you are new it would be a good idea to create a dummy new Web
Application to learn the pieces of the puzzle:

As this is really a "puzzle" sometimes there are ways to keep everything
together:
