virtual directory not an application in IIS

quote:Originally posted by reiji

The following is the error message I received when trying to run one of the .aspx files in a subweb. Is this something I can correct, or the administrator of IIS has to do? Thank you for your help. -reiji

Server Error in '/' Application.

Yes, if that's the case, how do I (is there any tool) configure the subweb an application in IIS? Since I, as a client of DiscountASP, don't have access to IIS Manager. Thanks.

As stated by DASP in that post, go to My DiscountASP (your account) and then go to your IIS Manager. Create an application with the name of the root-directory which is supposed to be an application.

success !

Sorry, I must be really dense. But in the control panel's IIS Manager, there are only 3 things: Custom Error Pages, Directory Browsing, and Default Documents. I don't see anything that could create a directory or make a subweb an application.

I made the subweb using FrontPage Tool/Manage FrontPage Extension, and thought it would automatically be an IIS application. Apparently, it's not. So ...?

My mistake ... you should go to the Web application tool in the control panel [:I] ...

FP subweb is not equivalent to IIS App.

If you are uploading via VS.net, an application should be created automatically.

Bruce,

Previously, I copied the project (vs.net copy project) into an existing subdirectory in my domain and it gave me error that directory not an IIS application.

After reading your message, I copied again to a non-existing directory and then tried to run an aspx file. Here is the error message I got:

The page cannot be displayed
You have attempted to execute a CGI, ISAPI, or other executable program from a directory that does not allow programs to be executed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please try the following:

Contact the Web site administrator if you believe this directory should allow execute access.
HTTP Error 403.1 - Forbidden: Execute access is denied.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

Please instruct. Thank you.
