Hi! I have set up a win 2003 server with iis6 installed. I have also
installed Visual Interdev 6.0. I was hoping to be able to set up two
websites in iis and then be able to make two projects where each one
would run as a separate website.

-I have created a folder e:\wwwroot\hms
-I have then made a site which I point to e:\wwwroot\hms. Then I made it
a Frontpage web using FP Server extensions 2002.
-Then I made a new project in Visual Interdev 6.0. I used "master mode".
I chose to "Connect to an existing webapplication <root web>...", this
because I had allready made my e:\wwwroot\hms folder, where I want the
app. to reside, and my site is pointing there. This worked fine. I was
asked if I wanted to copy script library, and I said yes. Then I
imported all the files and folders I wanted into visual interdev. I can
now start the project from visual interdev, BUT there will be no
sessions. It seems like global.asa will not fire. So, I had a look in
IIS manager, and the application name is set too "/" every time I start
my project even if I try to change it. I have tried to name it something
else, but every time it is set back to "/".

Now:

1. Is it not possible to do what I am trying to do here?
2. I have made it work before, but then I made one website and then I
created a new project in Visual Interdev and made a new web application
instead of connecting to the <root web>. But the thing is that if I do
so, a new webapp. is created under my website. If I then try to do a
virtual reference, it will be different then out on our production
server (http://localhost/hms/.... instead of http://localhost/...). On
our production server, I have a website. This points too x:\wwwroot\hms.
I want to make my test environment the same as the production server.
..or should I do something on the production server to make it as my
test environment?

Thanks!

Henning :-)

Yes it's possible but it seems as though there's some path confusion.  What
is the root path for your server?  Is it E:\inetpub\wwwroot?  Basically you
want your Interdev project to be at E:\inetpub\wwwroot ...

Hi Tom, and thanks for the quick response!!!

I got things working. The reason was actually that a database connection
error occured, but I didn't receive any error message of any kind. The
code just continued allthough I have not set any on error resume next!
Strange behaviour!

I am not able to set breakpoints in my asp code anymore. Before I used
win2k professional. I was able to debug both asp pages and my VB written
code. Any ideas??

So, my project runs "like it should". I probably find a way to make
debugging work.

But, if I want to make a new project. Am I able to do the same thing as
I did with this project. Make a new website that points to for example
e:\wwwroot\cobuilder and then configure it with FP server ext. Then
create new VID project and connect to <root web>? I guess not, unless i
stop my other website, because when I have to choose which web server to
use, I can not have to sites running?

Thanks again for your help!

Henning :-)

If you're running W2K Pro or WXP Pro, you can only have one web site active
at a time.
