Deploying from 2010 Studio and Express

Well, I've read all the knowledge base links and still can't get it to deploy.

Keeps wanting FPge extensions when publishing from 2010 using Deploy.

Any work arounds??

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I have followed the links extensively and I end up at the same place.


Creating a New Web Site "Hello World" (see attached) in Visual 2010 asks for Front Page Extensions>>

File>New Web Site>ASP.NET WebSite (or ASP.Net Empty Web Site)>Browse>Remote Site ......... asks for Front Page Extensions

**************************
A)"How do I deploy a Visual Studio 2010 Web Application Project to a DiscountASP.NET Server using FTP?"

This option, using either my website or a brand new "Hello World" website, doesn't yield the the results your knowledge base article shows

B) "How do I deploy a Visual Studio 2010 Web Application Project using Web Deploy?" >>>>

Deploying by the publishing option listed in the link you referenced is what I have been trying to do a have repeatedly reference the knowledge base and the links you provided - it doesn't work, it asks for Frontpage extensions.

 

If you click New -> Website. The dont worry about "deploying an application". Website and Application are two different things.

So to publish, at the top click website --> copy website

That will open another window, click the Connect button.

When you click the connect button, YOU HAVE TO SELECT FTP SITE ON THE LEFT.

 

Hi Chuck,

I appreciate that an application is different than a website.

From Studio2010, I click on File>New Website> "ASP.Net web site", Web Location>HTTP, Browse> << This dialog box wants Front Page Extensions and I don't think I do so I don't do this.

I have my Hello World web site built locally.

I click on Build>Publish Web Site, then at the "..." to the right of "Target Location" I click on "Remote Site" <<< This also wants Front Page extensions so I don't do this.

I can FTP my Hello World web site to my FTP site, but I don't understand how this gets me a www web site.

When I go to www.mydomain.com, the index is still the DiscountASP default.

What am I doing wrong?

 

You dont want to choose remote or anything else. You want to choose FTP. Post a picture of what you are looking at if you cant find it.

FYI, there is no such thing as a www website. How you create your application and publish has nothing to do with the website. There is only one kind of website. These terms are just visual studio nomenclature. They are useful for various project development reasons. But rest assured there is no difference in what ends up on the web.

In regards to the default page, this is because you have not setup a default document. This is done via the IIS Tools section of your control panel. You want the name of the page that you want to have loaded first at the top of the list. For example default.aspx or myfirstpage.html etc. Whatever your "Home page" is named, thats the name of the file that should be listed first.

Also, if you dont mind me saying so, you may just want to use an FTP client. There is nothing wrong with that. Everybody starts somewhere and most started that way. Eventually Im sure you will learn visual studio inside out, but till then, your time is better spent working on your application and development skills. It will be much more rewarding.

 

Not an expert

Visual Studio does not set up IIS on your computer; it is there (probably but not set up); These very obscure technical errors are an indication of this problem.

To guide you through IIS setup you need to set up a ticket with Microsoft and then go back and forth between ASP and Microsoft until you can publish what you want.

Life if fun when you follow your passions.

 

...We've created two webcasts on doing this with VS2010.
One with Applications one for Web Sites.

DiscountASP, VS2010 and One-Click publish

The reason I thought I'd try DiscountASP was because it was at the top of the list in the link of

VS2010 -> MainMenu-> Build -> Publish

So far, in all the research I've done in DiscountASP, I have found nothing that relates to setting up such a thing.

My Project is a new ASP.NET Web Application (as opposed to 'Web Site')
(ie, VS2010->MainMenu->File->New->Project (instead of 'Web Site')),
brand new, unchanged except for the header in the master page.

I filled in all of what I thought the entries should be in the
'...->Build->Publish',
but when I hit 'Publish' (I'm using 'WebDeploy' since that is the only one that actually gives me an error report, the others I've tried just say 'Publish Failed' at the bottom of the VS2010 screen).

When I hit 'Publish' now, the 'Error List' says:

Error 1 Web deployment task failed.(Remote agent (URL http://mychoiceof.com//MSDEPLOYAGENTSERVICE) could not be contacted. Make sure the remote agent service is installed and started on the target computer.)
The requested resource does not exist, or the requested URL is incorrect.
Error details:
Remote agent (URL http://mychoiceof.com//MSDEPLOYAGENTSERVICE) could not be contacted. Make sure the remote agent service is installed and started on the target computer.
An unsupported response was received. The response header 'MSDeploy.Response' was '' but 'v1' was expected.
The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. 0 0 ceDemoOne

I have used Publish when my source was a WPF application, but now I am trying to deploy something else. I am using a different Service Provider, well, duh, obviously, because I'm using DiscountASP for this new project.

Can anyone help fill me in?

I looked at the videos provided in previous responses to this thread, but nothing said anything about One-Click.

Thanks!

Mitch

 

Deploy to FTP

The Publish Profile dialogue box you file out should:

select ftp from drop down menue

the target location is ftp://ftp.mychoiceoff.com

Your ftp user name is listed on the control panel that you log into

The paswoord is the one you set up

you can test this by loggon into ftp://ftp.mychoiceoff.com

 

I know EXACTLY what you're saying, QEDDAVE! My wife and I have BOTH been going in circles for DAYS, with nothing but frustrations to show for it!!! She just sent me a link from Go-Daddy. Based on the step by step instructions, they seem interested in hosting.

 

Why don't you share that GoDaddy link with everyone? I certainly find nothing in their help files related to publishing with Visual Studio 2010.

Expressing your frustration would carry a little more weight if it wasn't your first post. Your frustration isn't with us, obviously, since you never asked for help, but with Visual Studio 2010.
