Hi everyone,



we own the domain name and IP address, I like to know how can I publish my 

project into the internet.



Also, My project run well with IIS4.0, It is possible to run with IIS 5.0? 

Thanks.

Copy the files that are being used in the project (locate them on your

harddisk) to your webserver/provider. You probably have to use FTP for that.

With FTP you can connect to the server of your provider and transfer the

files from your project to the webserver.

Check if you can use the global.asa (if you use it) at your providers

webserver, cause not all allow that. If you use components you have to

register components on the webserver, contact your provider for that.



If it runs well with IIS 4, it'll probably run well with IIS 5, if you use a

lot of components, I don;t know.

Hi there,



I guess this depends on what kind of server your host is and where it is 

located (in-house or at an ISP).



Usually setting up the site / publishing involves the following steps:



- Copy al your ASP and HTML pages and directories to the webserver.

- Register any (custom) components you may have

- Set up your DSN's (if you have any, it's usually better to avoid them and 

use OLEDB)

- If you own the machine your self, you may have to set up IIS and create a 

new application. If this is the case, I'd pick up a copy of a book about 

administrating IIS if I were you. It's no rocket science, but there could 

be a lot of options / settings etc you need to know about.

- If applicable, you need to update a DNS. Usually this is not something 

you do yourself. This can be done by your ISP or the company where you 

registered your domainname. This will make sure that the name points to the 

IP address.



There are lots of things you have to take into account when you publish 

your site, but it's too much to mention everything here. I suggest you 

start at the beginning, and then post more specific questions here when you 

are stuck.



Applications build for IIS4 will usually run fine on IIS5, however you are 

not taking advantage of the new stuff in IIS5. Thinks like server.transfer 

tend to speed up an application build on IIS4 with Response.Redirect, for 

example.
