New Web Application in VS 2003/ Local Machine/Web Access Failed Error/FrontPage Xtensions Disabled

[akshaymohan]

Hi,

I tried to create to create a new web application in visual studio but it gave me the following error:

the default web access mode for this project is set to file share, bu tthe project folder at http://<my website name>/testweb/WebApplication7 caannot be opened with the path \\<my (file://\\<my) website name>\wwwroot$\testweb\WebApplication7'. The error returned was:

Unable to create Web project 'testweb/WebApplication7'. The UNC share \\<my (file://\\<my) website name>\wwwroot$\testweb\WebApplication7' does not exist or you do not have access.

I do not have frontpage extensions enabled, and I cannot enable them due to other installations on my local machine. Does anyone has suggestions as to the possible source of the errors and solution, without enabling front page extensions. My environment is windows 2003 server and VS 2003.

thanks
Akshay

Try use the full path instead of UNC, eg.

c:\inetpub\wwwroot\testweb\webapplication7

No.. no. You cannot use file share over the Internet. You'll have to use FrontPage if you want to connect to an app on our sever.
