Help required setting up web based application

[David]

I would like to change our web site to show the products using a catalog
style of presentation.
MS have a free template called "ecommercesdk". Though I don't need the cart
side, the database format looks good.

I tried to run the application from VB.NET 2003 but could not load the
program (Kept asking for URL to web based application and I typed in the
http://localhost/... but it kept advising same error.

I have Windows 2000 Professional running and installed IIS. I also have MSDE
running locally.
The help file in VB mentioned the need of a web server, do I need something
in addition to the components I am running to write a web based application
or is there something I have not set up correctly.

Any info for a nofice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Make sure that you create an IIS application for the web project using the
IIS Administrator management console. You may also have to edit the
..webinfo file in notepad to set the correct web address for your project.

Dalepres,

Thank you for the reply.
How do I create the IIS application ?

If I open the IIS management under "My Computer, Manage, ISS Services" I see
a Default Web Site" and status is running.
If I browse this, I can see "Webapplication1", the first application I tried
to create.

In VB.Net, If I try to run the application, it now says "Visual Studio.Net
has detected that the specified Web Server is not running ASP.NET version1.1
You will be unable to run asp.net applications or services."

I am not sure what server this is refering to or what to do about it.

Thanks

David,

You probably have to install the Framework again after the install of IIS.

I thought that this sequence was needed.
(And dont forget than direct to install the SP1 for Framework 1.1 after
that).

I hope this helps?

In the left hand column of your IIS admin window, find your application
folder under the default website. it should be a sort of globe looking
icon, not a folder icon. If it is a folder icon, right click the folder and
choose properties.

In the Virtual Directory tab, if you have a Create button, then click it.
If you have a Remove button, then the application already exists.

Then, along the lines of what Cor Ligthert said, you need to run
"ASPNET_REGIIS /I" from within the
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 folder (or appropriate path if
your intallation is different.

Thanks,

That works. I installed dotnnet framework again and then setup the IIS in
the manager and finally registered at command prompt.
