Requirements for running ASP.NET 2.0 Site

[John Bailo]

I just started working with VS.NET 2005.

I built a web site on my workstation.

I tried to Copy it to a remote server running w2k and IIS, but it
doesn't recognize the new format of the web.config

What are the minimum requirements for getting the web site to run?

Can it run on w2k?

Yes, if you've got service pack 3 on.

Now, have you installed .NET 2.0 on the W2K box?

One thing that has happened to me in the past and took me a little
while to figure it out was that your IIS might still be set to .NET
version 1.1 even if .NET 2.0 is installed. Go into IIS and go to the
properties of your website. Under the ASP.NET tab you can choose
which version of .NET to use from a drop down menu, make sure it is
set to 2.0xxxxx and not 1.1.
