What do I have to do to allow me to create ASP.NET Pages on a Windows 2003
Server ?

I have installed IIS6, ASP.Net support, SQL 2000, ASP.Net remote components.

I do not know what security to use to allow me to create ASP.Net
applications with Visual Studio 2003 on that server ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
Sorry I forgot to mention, I am running these on a home LAN for development,
and the 2003 server is running as a stand alone server.

Anthony,

One thing i can think of off the top of my head is Frontpage server
extensions on the server, tho i don't recommend installing this
extensions on a production box.

Jonel
 
I installed those already and had been using it to experiment with Front
Page to create web pages on this server
 
What problems are you having. I've gotten asp.net to work correctly on 03
server - actually I installed 03 on my laptop and was using it for
everything including development. There are *some* issues related to
security. If you let me know what problems you are having, maybe I can help
you figure them out.
 
Basically I can not create a app on the ASP.Net server. I just get the
error:
http/1.1 403 Forbidden
 
If the Directory Browsing Allowed option is clear (not selected) in Internet
Service Manager WWW Service Properties Directories, and the Enable Default
Document option is selected, you will get the error message.

Also, the default document listed has a different name than the actual
default document file, for example, the default document name listed is
Default.htm, and the actual file is Default.html

Try this for a work around if this is the problem

Select the Directory Browsing Allowed option, or modify either the default
document name listed in Internet Service Manager or the actual default
document file name to ensure that they match
 
HI Tony,

To enable ASP.Net in ur IIS 6.0 on Win2003 server follow the steps.

(1) Right click on 'My Computers' and then click on 'Manage'.
(2) In there open the 'Service and Application' Branch
(3) Then open the 'Internet Information Service' branch.
(4) You would see more branch-links like 'Application Pool','WebSite' and 'Web Service Extensions'.
(5) Click on the 'Web Service Extension' branch.
(6) On the right pane, you would see all the things like ISAPI Extension, CGI extension WebDev etc.
(7) Select the 'Active Server Pages', whose status would be Prohibited'
(8) Then click on the 'Allow' button.

You can toggle all these extensions whenever you like. Hope this helps.

That was one of the first things I did was to install and enable ASP.Net
extensions but I still can not create ASP.Net apps on that server

Where would I find that directory option ?

Can't I just create a new asp.net web application on that server from
within Visual Studio.net ? Or do I have to create the application on my
local pc first then publish it or upload it to the server ?
