What you are experiencing is called NESTED CONTENT. You can not create a new
web underneath an allready existing web that has been configured with the
FrontPage Server Extensions. Visual Interdev utilizes the 98 FrontPage
Server Extensions in order to use design time and run time features (not all
design time / run time controls use the extensions).

Are you using Windows 2000 Server or Pro?

If you are using Pro then instead of creating the project at
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Wrox Cameras_Local do it at
http://localhost/wrox_cameras_local (I suggest you NOT use spaces or
capitals in anything web related as they can cause some headaches during
development. The capitals usually are something to be more attentive to an
OS that is case sensitive like UNIX. There are times when Windows / ASP is
case sensitive so be aware of this)

If you are using Server I would create a whole new web site and map it's
home directory to C:\Inetpub\wrox_cameras_local. Once you have a new web
site created use the http:// (web server path) to create the project and NOT
the C: (disk path)

I hope that helps...

Dave

Subject: Trying to create project


I am reading "Beginning Web Development with Visual InterDev 6.0" by
Andrew Mumford.I am trying to create a project by using the Web Project
Wizard. When I hit "Finish" I get this message:

Cannot create a disk-based Web application in 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Wrox
Cameras\Wrox Cameras_Local'. You cannot configure 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Wrox
Cameras\Wrox Cameras_Local' as a FrontPage web, because the directory
'C:\InetPub\wwwroot' above it is already configured as a FrontPage Web.
You can open that web instead.

I am running IIS 5.0 on my computer and using it as the localhost. I am
running Windows 2000.

Please help!
Thank you in advance,
Bobby
