Hi

I clicked on copy website and in that window i clicked on "connect" and after
making the release folder according to the book i get this error--

You cannot connect to the web site that is currently the source web site, or to any of its sub-folders.

Thanks.

Hi there,

The error message suggest that your target folder is the same as, or a child of the source folder on the left. Are you sure you picked the right target folder? Can you describe the steps you carried out?

Hi
I did everything according to the book.
First closed all the open files and choosed build>Rebuild website.The were no errors.
Then Website>Copy website and clicked the connect button and in the next dialog box i went to the file system clicked on the folder MySite (website i am working on) and made a new folder "Release" (as per the book) and after clicking on open button i get this error::

"You cannot connect to the web site that is currently the source web site, or to any of its sub-folders."

Synchronize selected files button is faded out.

Thanks.

That sounds like you created a Release folder as a subfolder of the site you're working on. This is not allowed, and is what the error message is trying to say. So, rather than:

C:\BegASPNET\MySite\Relase

create and assign a folder such as:

C:\BegASPNET\Relase

Release is now at the same level as MySite, and no longer a child folder.

Thanks..What to do if my site is like C:\Mysite and not C:\Begaspnet\Mysite
???

Just choose whatever location you want, as long as it's not the source folder, or a sub folder of it. E.g.:

C:\Whatever
C:\Websites\SomeSite\Release
C:\ReleasedSites\MySite
C:\Release

would all work.

Personally, it would choose option 3 as it makes it more structured if you're releasing multiple websites on your machine.

Cheers,

Isn't that clear from my previous answer?
