Web access failed

[Dinesh SK]

Sir,

I have installed VB.Net 2002 in Windows XP proffessional
PC. When I try to open a new using ASP.NET WEB
application I am getting the following error. Please help
me to sort out the issue at the earliest. I have
installed IIS also.

The error message is

Web Acces Failed;

The default web access mode for this project is set to
file share, but the project folder
at 'http://localhost/webapplication1' cannot be opened
with the path 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Webapplication1'. The
error returned was :

Unable to create Web project 'Web Application1'. The file
path 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication1' does not
correspond to the URL 'http://localhost/Webapplication1'.
The two need to map to the same server location. The
server returned an invalid or unrecoginized response.



Regards

This error is caused by VB.NET trying to create the web site at
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\webapplication1 with the web site already existing at a
different location. Here are some things to check:

1) Have you moved the default location of your web sites (is it still
c:\inetpub\wwwroot)? If you have, you might need to manually create the web
application in IIS before creating the project in VB.NET.
2) Do you already have a web application in IIS called WebApplication1? If
you do, .NET will try to use this project location.
