Firstly Can you Post your Configuration File code, becuase it cannot just Complain if you were not working on it. I suspect that you are Deploying your Application in a Wrong Way. TEll me Step by Step what did you do to Deploy your Application, What Security Options did you Choose, Is Anonymous Access enabled ? , Tell us Step by Step and Dont Forget to Post your Configuration File.

Hi
I am just entering into ASP.Net web hosting..I developed my project in ASP.Net2.0. I just compiled and copy website into web.
My web.config is,

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<configuration>
<appSettings/>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="samplecandConnectionString" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|\samplecand.mdb;Persist Security Info=True" providerName="System.Data.OleDb"/>
</connectionStrings>
<system.web>

<compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true"/>
<pages>

<add namespace="System.Collections"/>
<add namespace="System.Collections.Specialized"/>

<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

When I run this project in web i got the error like this,

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Try to Write your Connection String like this

<appsettings>
<add key="Moraka" value="User id=SDE;Password=TOPOLOGY;Database=MORAKA;SERVER=VUYISWA\SGIICORNETGS01">

at the Botton Change the

<authentication mode="Windows" />

and Did you Create a Virtual Directory ? ,try this

You do not have a virtual directory for your application
This error typically occurs when your application does not have a virtual directory established in the Microsoft IIS web server. Your application needs a virtual directory in order to run. See Creating a Virtual Directory for Your Application for instructions on creating a virtual directory. When you create the Virtual Directory on Windows 2003, you must select the “Run Scripts (such as ASP)” in the Virtual Directory Creation Wizard.

Please also check that the .NET Framework version of your application is correctly specified in the virtual directory settings.

The folder containing your application is within the root folder of your website
For example, if your root website is located in C:\inetpub\wwwroot and it contains a Web.config file and you installed your application in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\MyApp and it also contains a Web.config, then your application’s Web.config file is considered a nested or inherited Web.config file. Web.config files can be nested, however nested Web.config files cannot contain some elements such as the <authentication mode=...>, <httpHandlers> and <httpModules> parameters. Iron Speed Designer creates a Web.config file for your application assuming it is a completely ‘free-standing’ application instead of being part of a larger application and your application does not require the presence of another root Web.config file to run.

This can be resolved in a number of ways, but typically the best solution is to move your application to its own folder outside of the web root folder, such as C:\MyApp, and you change your virtual directory setting for MyApp to point to this folder. Other ways to address this (not recommended) are to (a) change your Machine.config file to allow "full" Web.config files in nested sub-folders, (b) delete the Web.config from the web root folder assuming you do not need it; or (c) modify your application's Web.config to remove the authentication, httpHandlers and httpModules sections in order to make your application a subset of the web root application and inherit all of the other settings from the root.

Ok....But I have tried that also.

I explain step by step.

First, I create a virtual directory in c:/inetpub/wwwroot/myfolder and paste all the files.
Then I compiled it and get in a new folder in C:/compiledfile
Then I upload my compiled file.

I know there is a problem in web.config. In compiled file i have one compiled web.config and my original web.config file. In order to delete any one of the web.config i got an error.
I do not know which one I want to move.And also i could not get your code....

HI

I am new for ASP.Net. This is my first website to upload.So kindly help me...

In my project(VWD2.0) itself select website->copy website,create a folder in C:/inetpub/wwwroot/new folder
Then i copied all the files to new folder.
From C:/inetpub/wwwroot/new folder right click->properties, i shared and give the rights to read and write.
(Is this procedure correct?)

And then from settings->control panel->IIS->right click the folder and gives the authentication mode=none

Thats all....

hi scothykonma

After you have Compiled your project. Create a Folder in the machine that has IIS. Go to Control Panel--> Administrators tools->Internet Information Service. Colapse the optons until you get "Default Website", Right Click on it and go to new Virutual Directory ,Browse to the Folder that you created.Give it a name. thats where you file that you had in your App will be copied to. Dont use any tool to copy the Files, just into your Project and copy them to the Folder. After you have created the Virtual Directory, the Instance name that you have created will appear under the Default web site, Right clikc on your Web instance and go to Properties, Go to "Document" tab and click on add, type the name of your startup page with extension like this "login.aspx".when done go to ASP.NET tab and make sure that the version is 2.0. and try it again.

Hi Vuyiswa Maseko

I have created virtual directory in IIS. But that folder is not available in C:/inetpub/wwwroot.
Then how can i copy the files into ftp/http to upload?

Vimalsoft(Pty) Ltd18-Nov-08 19:13

18-Nov-08 19:13

A Virtual Directory doesnt have to be in the "C:/inetpub/wwwroot." it can be anywhere in the machine that host the IIS. i have one more question. Do you use a Payed Domain or you have Physicall Access to the machine that have IIS ?

scothykonma18-Nov-08 20:31

18-Nov-08 20:31

payed domain only. In that also I want to copy my project (using core FTPlite software). Before I used to copy file from C:/inetpub/wwwroot/myfolder. Now i have created Virtual Directory then next?

Vimalsoft(Pty) Ltd18-Nov-08 20:46

18-Nov-08 20:46

After you created a Virutual Directory, User FileZilla and Connect to the Domain and FileZilla will give you an option to see the Files in your Project.Drag them and drop them in the Virtual Directory. you can get filezilla here

https://www.ohloh.net/projects/filezilla/download?filename=FileZilla_3.1.5.1_win32-setup.exe[^]

Tell me if you have a Problem.
