New Web Project problem

A

Andrew J

I am unable to create a new asp.net web application from
VS.Net on a remote server (i.e. not localhost). I have
created a project folder on the server (call it myserver)
and a virtual directory (MyWebApp). In VS.Net I then
clicked "New Project" and entered http://myserver/MyWebApp
for the Location & clicked OK. I then got an error saying
Web Access Failed because the default web access mode is
file share but the project folder at
http://myserver/MyWebApp cannot be opened with the path
\\myserver\wwwroot$\MyWebApp. It also tells me that this
UNC cannot be found. By the way, the server does not have
wwwroot, it has been renamed.

What is going on here? With the old asp you could simply
just create a new project based on a new site or an
existing one. It seems that is not possible now.

Thanks in advance.

Suggestion: Have you checked whether Front Page Server extensions have
been installed/enabled where you are trying to create the project?
