Hey everyone,

I have got a problem copying my website to the ftp-host:

a few weeks ago my hosting-company had an older version of ASP.Net installed. One way or the other copying the website wouldn't make it work.

After some fumbling around I erased a line in web.config that ended with "TargerFramework="4.0" after erasing this line the website worked....but....

It is different than I designed it, all the CSS properties for the navigation menu were gone or changed, now i don't see my submenus because backgroundcolor and fore color have been switched to white. And also the buttons have been evenly spread in my #NavigationBar, this wasn't also set this way...

What went wrong? What kind of codeline should I put back in my Web.config?

since yesterday my provider installed DotNetFx40_Full_setup.exe but the site did not change appearance...

Hi bertus,

You may need to ask your host to configure the application pool for the application to run under .NET 4. Once that's done, you can add the attribute you removed back in.

Cheers,

Imar

Hey Imar,

Are these configuration settings of ASP.NET 4? Because they installed ASP.NET 4 just recently...

And where does the server get the "weird" css properties from? On the localhost the menu looks like i designed it, on the web the same website looks different, that shouldn't be possible, right?

kindest regards,

Bertus

Strange, talking english to a dutchman...

cheers anyway!

IIS registers itself with IIS, so after installiing .NET 4, an option to run the Application Pool under .NET 4 has been added to IIS. Your host should know how to configure the application pool. Check out page 715 for more details.

With regard to the menu: .NET 4 renders the menu differently from .NET 3.5 so your 4.0 compatible CSS may not match the HTML rendered by the 3.5 version of the menu.

Ja, zeker raar, in het Engels. Maar zo kan wel iedereen het volgen ;-)

Cheers,

Imar
