  Puting the application on the server

  Mar 23, 2005 03:08 AM|Romana_David|LINK

  At last I succesed to finish my application using CSK on my localhost using VS.NET. Now the last step is to put the application on the actual Server. This is my first developed application and don't know how to do it ...:-( All the urls and paths point to localhost and the MS-SQL-DB-Host on the server is "sql01". On the server there is a folder named database, and a folder named upload ... I am really confused and don't know how to configure the application to run on the actual web server. Could you help me please? Or give me an url where it is explained in details? many thanks in advance! Romana

  Few things you have to do. 1) Be sure your server has a virtual directory pointed to the folder where you put your files. This should be standard business for your ISP. 2) Not so standard: make sure your ISP has your.GIF, .JPEG, and .JPG files mapped to the ASP.NET Process. The instructions are in the documentation somewhere, but a good Sys Admin will know what you need to do. 3) Be sure your Web.Config file is pointed to the appropriate DB Server. Something like this: 4) Upload your DLL and ascx files, and everything in the root directory to your server. Since I don't own a copy of VSS, I use my ISP's server space as a Source Code Repository and I uploaded everything. You can do that to be safe, but you don't need to. Takes longer, but it ensures you didn't miss anything. Plus, you have a backup of all your source code. 5) Login as ISPAdmin to make sure that your community is added and pointed to the correct place. Set your primary domain, community domain, etc. Just like you did locally. That *should* do it. I might have missed something along the way. Please reply back if you have problems. One thing that does bug me about your message: you have a folder called database? I would have thought that they would have given you a DB connection string. What type of DB are you using? It sounds like you were using MSSQL, but if they have a different DB, you might want to speak with them. Hope this helps.
