http://community.discountasp.net/emoticons/freaked.gif Using VB.Net Standard 2003. WIN 2000/Pro & WIN XP Pro 2002.

Trying to create an ASP.Net web app out on THETESTBED.NET

Steps that I'm using...

File>New>Project>ASP.Net Web App
Location = http:///www.THETESTBED.NET/Appname
Close Solution is checked.
Click OK.

I then get the "Creating New Web" window which displays the correct path of the server and application.
After a few seconds, I get a msg "Unable to retrieve folder information from the server. Not Found".
So I cancel out.
Yet when I log into my hosted site as admin and look at the structure, I see a folder for the ASP.Net app that I was trying to create. This folder contains nothing and IS NOT setup as a web application. It's my understanding that VS.Net does this by default. Why not here??

In the VB.Net project options, I have "Frontpage" & "Link repair" selected. I have "FrontPage Extensions" enabled on both WIN 2000 & WIN XP. I am a member of the VS Developers on both of my home computers.

If I attempt a "Project>Copy Project" route then I get prompted for a login and password to the hosted site. Msg states "This operation requires author permission for www.THETESTBED.NET:80 (http://www.THETESTBED.NET:80)". Port 80-Is this correct?? http://community.discountasp.net/emoticons/confused.gif
When I supply my CORRECT login and password to the host I get "The user name or password you entered is incorrect, or you do not have authorization to perform this operation." I then use the SAME login and password to log into my hosted site from the web and lo' & behold the app that fails has a folder in the host. I now have a crap-load of test app folders I have to get rid of. Any help will be appreciated.

Yes it did. I contacted tech support and they found that the FrontPage extensions were corrupted so they had to re-install them. I haven't tried it since the repair. I'll post when I do.


Thanks
