Hi,

 I have been looking for steps in deploying asp.net applications but nothing seem to work for me. Can anyone provide me and the other noobs simple steps in deploying simple web applications.I have a simple Application with a button and when clicked, changes the text of a label. That is all. So here are the steps i took to deploy.

 
1.) made sure ASP.NET version in IIS is 2.0****
2.) Added a new web setup project.
3.) Added Primary Output.
4.) Added Content Files.
5.) Build.
6.) Installed the MSI file.
7.) Access the file through http://localhost/applicationDirectory/ApplicationName.aspx

But all i get is this error:

XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://192.168.1.203/WebDeploymentExample/Default.aspx
Line Number 1, Column 1:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Thanks and Regards,



 

Follow below Simple steps

1. Right click on Solution explorer
2. Build web Project
3. Publish Web Site
4. It will ask for target location
5. click to Browse
6. In left pen click on Local IIS
7. Collapse Default Web Site (Select Default web sites)
8 Top Right corner of that window  Click on create new virtual directory
9. Give alias
10 Folder Name
11 Browse Create New folder

Same thing you can do for publishibg it it on FTP or remote web. select FTP / Remote instead of Local IIS.

 Hi Satalaj,

 Thanks so much for your reply. I followed your simple step but I got confused after number 14. When i finished the 14 steps, I did the Start--> Run--> Inetmgr and the IIS windows pops up, i chose my Application and Chose my default webpage which was default.aspx and right clicked then browse. Then IE opened my default.aspx but I got this message

"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"

 Any idea what could be the problem? Thank you again in advance.

Thanks and regards,
 

I think you forget to start IIS.
1. open IIS
2. Select Default websites. Click on start (Play button |>)
3. Browse your page.
