Hi there,

The root folder of this does not have a default document. The web server then actively denies browsing folders. To fix this, do one of the following:

1. Allow IIS to browse folders

2. Place a Default.aspx file in the root of your site, based on the master page.

3. Browse to http://localhost/surveyengine/ContentFiles.

Hope this helps,

Imar

HI,thanks for your reply

1.As you guided me i placed the default.aspx in the surveyengine root which was taken from the contentfiles folder and tried to run where i got this parse error...

 Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: The virtual path '/MasterPage.master' maps to another application, which is not allowed.

Source Error:

Line 1: <%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="../MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="_Default" %>

2.well i tried the other method byusing this url: http://localhost/contentfiles where it redirects to the home page of the application n when i try to log in through admin user it throws the below exception...
 Exception Details: System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.

3.canu plz tell me how to allow iis to browse the folders

Hi vasancer,

Do you have the book? Some of this is explained in one of the chapters.

When you copy a file from the ContentFiles folder to the root, you need to update the path to the master page:

<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="_Default" %>

However, it's much easier to open up VWD, open the site and add a new page through File | Add New Item.

With regards to the question about IIS: Google is your friend. A quick search on Google for "IIS allow directory browsing" returns many useful results, including this one:

Use tools like Google successfully, and you'll be able to help yourself a lot faster....

Cheers,

Imar

Hi Imar,

  I followed up wat u asked me to, like updating the path to the master page:

<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="_Default" %> But,im getting this parse error :The virtual path '/MasterPage.master' maps to another application, which is not allowed. Im really confused, im really sorry to annoy u by asking u the silly Querrys actually this is the first time im working on a project by my own so plz help me with patience...

it'll be really help full with ur guidance thanks to all ur replies im learning alot frm this book hats off to u for a book like this...

vasanth

Did you follow my advice by opening VWD and adding the page from there? How did that turn out?

And you haven't answered my question about whether you have the book or not.

Cheers,
Imar

vasanth

Hi there,

I didn't write that chapter, so I am not sure how exactly the application should behave.

Maybe you need to specify an UpdateMethod like Save on the ODS your self?

For the other error: look at DeleteSurveyConfirm.aspx.vb. Apparently you are not logged in correctly.
