How can I deploy an asp.net application using Visual Studio 2008

I am trying to publish a website using IIS, 开发者_如何学JAVAI made a virtual directory and in this directory I've added all the webpages and configured the virtual directory but still I am not able to run my web application.

Here is the step by step method to deploy an asp.net application

Please post any error message

Make sure that your are running the right asp.net Version... check if in the asp.net tab if it's v 1 change it to v2

Could you please let me know the error message.( Check with minimum settings like startUp page , version, try publishing with Wizards etc)

In Visual studio, click on project, Properties, Web. Under Servers, select Use local IIS Web server, then on Create virtual Directory. Now, when you debug, the page should open in IIS, and Visual studio has taken care of most of the grudge work of setting up the IIS, all you will probably have to change is the security settings under IIS. Hope this helps.

If it is IIS7 check that your application has enough permissions to run:

IIS Actions Pane:

1. Basic Settings
2. Connect as (be sure to log in with Admin account first to test, then create you own specific user. Least Privilege Principle)
3. Test Settings (Authorization and Authentication is Green!)
4. Test your webisite

The question doesn't say what exactly the error is but you mentioned that you just created the virtual directory. Did you make it an web application? For IIS 6 follow this link - Create and Configure Local ASP.NET Web Sites. In IIS7 just right click on it and convert it to application.

If its already a website, did you choose the correct framework? normally when you create a website it ill be assigned the default app-pool. If you have installed multiple dotnet then you might check which framework is in default app-pool. Then change the default app-pool to the correct version that is required by your website, or create a new app-pool.

There can be multiple reasons so if you could provide the error message then it would be easier to resolve the problem.

Thanks.
