Can't view Visual Web Developer Websites when copy to web server

Question

Hi,

As far as I can work out I should be able to copy a web project/application to my IIS Web server and be able to see it as I do when designing it on my development computer.

The problem is once I copy the folder over to my web server and then try to view it the browser it says Error 404 not found. There must be a real simple fix for this. I would like to be able to develop ASP.NET sites using the Visual Web Developer instead of Dreamweaver but this little issue is stopping me. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Darren Woolway

Hi,

You can't just copy over the files and expect it to run. You have to do a little more work than this.
