Help with first "Hello World" web site

Hi all,

I am getting "Page Cannot Be Found" errors when I publish a couple simple "Hello World" pages from my first VS 2005 application.

Using an FTP connection, I can see that the pages have in fact made it to my home folder (via the VS "publish website" command).

I can successfully send up web pages created in FrontPage and these are able tocall each other using hyperlinks.Even from one of these pages, I cannot callmyVS default.aspx "Hello World"page.

Must be missing something basic in either the setup of my DiscountASP website or creation of VS pages.

TIA,

Larry

 

If your default.aspx file is in the root of your site and default.aspx is one of your default documents it will load.
You can check this in your Control Panel.

However...If you are using IE and not showing errors it will at times show the page is not available, rather than the error.
When you see that at least click the "Diagnose" link on the generic page.

By the way, what are you calling Front Page? Are you using an older version of FP for ASP.NET?
If so, you should really take a look at Visual Web Developer 2008, it's free and worlds better than FP.
Salute,
Mark

 

Mark,

Thanks for the reply and suggestions. I started over from scratch with a VS2008 "hello world" page and it worked fine. I had been using VS2005 with the Strataframe framework and am not sure why that failed. I'm going to add Strataframe to my VS2008 and take the next step.
