Need help for ASP.Net and IIS7

skhan · June 11th, 2009, 10:42 AM

Hi, all!
I have just installed IIS7 under Vista, and I'm trying to work on a very simple ASP website I'm working on (Access
database).

First, is there a document that details what steps are required after installing IIS7 to
get ASP 2.0 working? Already went through what docs I could find, but nothing has worked so far.

Second, in general, are there any docs or CORRECT blogs out there that give hints or instructions on getting IIS7 up and working under Vista?

Thanks
Khan

You can just run the site in "Classic" mode in IIS7, or you can see the document below to migrate a site running on 5.1 or 6 to IIS7 Integrated Mode.

Thank you all for all of your support and time..... The problem is solved now.... :)
I have copied and pasted the missing files into the folder that the error was mentioning. And refreshed the browser and it worked....I have also done the setup according to http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/IIS7ASPNet.aspx
that's an awesome thing to follow.....but more or less they say the things that others have said as well.....

I have one more question though.....if I modify the codes now.....as they are converted to VS 2008, will be be usable in the older versions.....or when I upload in the real server?...... When I was publishing/converting the web application, it said that it won't be converted to the old version anymore....does that mean it'll become unusable in the older version as well??? cause the server runs the older version which I can't change.

Thank you.

That only means you won't be able to open it with VS 2005 any more. Should not affect how the compiled site runs on the server at all.
