Chapter 16 page 614 Try it out step 3

mrjhov79 · December 16th, 2015, 03:50 AM

After entering the code for step 3 all on 1 line as follows:
iisexpress.exe /path:"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.3031 9\ASP.NETWebAdminFiles" /vpath:"/ASP.NETWebAdminFiles" /port:8082 /clr:4.0 /ntlm

It returns the message:
Successfully registered URL "http://localhost:8082/" for site "Development Web Site" application "/"
Successfully registered URL "http://localhost:8082/ASP.NETWebAdminFiles/" for site "Development Web Site" application "/ASP.NETWebAdminFiles"
Registration completed

It doesn't metnion copying the template config file or updated the configuration file or starting the IIS Express

I did attempt to go on to step 4 and open a browser and paste: http://localhost:8082/asp.netwebadmi...plicationURL=/

But when it ask for my user name and password and I enter it, the page reloads and just ask the the username and password again. When I switch back to the command prompt it has added:
Request started: "GET" http://localhost:8082/asp.netwebadmi...plicationURL=/
Request ended: http://localhost:8082/asp.netwebadmi...plicationURL=/ with HTTP status 401.2

Any help would be greatly appreciated

You don't have to copy or edit the config file at this point, and it's IIS Express that's being started with this command.

Can you access the site's folder directly in Windows without issues? Have you tried granting the Everyone account full control to the Site folder temporarily to rule out permission issues?

Oh, I see now that you're referring to picture 16-16 with this:

>>? It doesn't metnion copying the template config file or updated the configuration file or starting the IIS Express

It's odd that it doesn't mention it started. It does it consistently on my machine. In addition, it's odd that it is registering incoming requests when it hasn't started.

Could it be a permissions issue? Are you on a locked down machine?

I am able to access the folder using the windows explorer, it shows it contains 8 folders beginning with App_Code and also includes multiple .aspx & .master files, as well as, one .config and .ascx file. But I am still not able to duplicate the full command prompt that shows in Figure 16-16 nor am I able to log onto the WSAT like shown in figure 16-17. After It continues to ask for username and password, reloads after I submit and ask for the same information again. I'm using a personal laptop with only one user account and I'm running the command prompt as an administrator. Whateverthe problem was, it seems to have corrected itself after I powered down my computer and tried it again the command prompt did not display the same as 16-16 but I was able to access the WSAT tool after entering the site.

Thanks for the swift reply, back to the book I go!
