this is driving me nuts

ok im very new to asp, and never used asp.net before.

every tinme i try to make a new asp.net project in vs.net, it tell me to created right on a web host, even if its localhost, but it wont let me, im not sure if im doing somthign wrong, or if its a problem with my IIS.

is there any way to just make a local asp file/project?

what is the correct way to start a new asp.net website...

 

[Robby]

Do you have IIS 5.0 installed and running?

 

[LittLe3Lue]

added error///

well its not my IIS, and i tried repeatedly to create a local file, but it wont even give me the option to make a file untill it has a http:// preceding the location. so i assume it needs to be host based immedietally. its all very complicated at the moment.

 

[LittLe3Lue]

yes installed and running, and made sure that my directory can be written to as well, even by anonymous users, so idont see the problem


so i was doin it correct tho?


its giving me an error that althought he directory allows for file share, that there was an error etc etc.

its leading me to beleive that my ISP doesnt allow me to do so... could this be possible?

i have rogers cable internet...
i took a screenshot of the error, although i left it on my pc and didnt upload it anywhere so it may not come up if my pc is shut down.

[LittLe3Lue]

oh yes, and i used the format

http://IP-ADRESS/DIRECORY/FILENAME (with no extension)

when creating a new asp projectthe directory is define in IIS as a read/write with no security limitations for that directory.
hmmm...

is this correct all the correct way to do it?

Your ISP has nothing to do with this.

The first thing I suggest is Uninstall the DotNet Framework, not visual studio IDE. (ONLY the Framework). Do it from the Control Panel >> Add/Remove Programs. Once you remove the Framework just insall it again.

The reason is that during the initial its possible that it didnt detect the IIS properly.

The Framework can be found on the VS.NET CD, its 21 Mb. in size.

Try this:

Insert the Visual Studio .NET Windows Component Update CD, and then on the Start menu choose Run:

<CDDrive>:\dotNetFramework\dotnetfx.exe /t:c:\temp /c:"msiexec.exe /fvecms c:\temp\netfx.msi"

 

[Derek Stone]

Try running the following at a command prompt before you hassle yourself by reinstalling the framework:

Aspnet_regiis -i

 

[LittLe3Lue]

whoa the last 2 suggection went way above my head, but thanks for the advice, the main thing here is that i no longer feal stupid not knowing how to make a new project, and that there was actually a problem


ill try to reinstall its not a big deal... anbd if not ill do the other 2

i might not have been running my IIS at the time i installed framework, but im sure i had it installed, weird...

 

[LittLe3Lue]

well running aspnet_regiis -i didnt work in cmd prompt.

and i seem to have all 7 cds from .net... except cd5. jsut my luck,t he sotry of my life . ill have to scavenger around, it has to be here somewhere. rrr.....

This may sound like a silly question, but are you running Windows XP Home Edition? If so, you probably dont have IIS, or a component of it, on the machine. I ran into that problem early on, and ended up using XP Pro. Just a thought and something else to rule out as a possible contributor to this issue...

 

[Robby]

Daspoo, he already said that IIS is running.

 

[Daspoo]

Sorry. Im pretty much little help on this one.

 

[LittLe3Lue]

yes i have IIS running from win 2K proffecional. i was goin to install win 2k server but i didnt think i needed to since this isnt solely server based, nor is it mostly server based. i usually just fool around with it. and i heard that server does not run all yer other stuff as well.

 

[LittLe3Lue]

hmmm

does anyone know how to uninstall the .net framework?!

its not under add/remove proggies or under windows components...

 

[AndreRyan]

Dont uninstall it if you cant, just run the install again, it will override the previous files

 

[LittLe3Lue]

no it sais i have already installed .net framework and wont let me override.

 

[LittLe3Lue]

Correction, i meant to say it wont let me overwrite.


anyway, i sitll cant find out how to unistall it, can anyone assist me?

 

[LittLe3Lue]

okay, well today i realized that i did not have my asp.net service running, and for a sec i thought that might have been the cause of the problem,, but alas, no, and i think that the service is just for running asp.net files, not creating them.

but it got me thinking, perhaps there is soemthign that i have just not done that needs to be done in order fo the .net framework to work? i have not touched it after installation, i have not changed any setting, and i dont really know how it works - should i have?
