Hi,

I tried deploying the classifieds site to my godaddy hosted site.

when i go to the default page i get this message

"

Server Error in '/' Application.

Description: The type of page you have requested is not served because it has been explicitly forbidden. The extension '.cshtml' may be incorrect. Please review the URL below and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Requested URL: /classifieds/Default.cshtml

My hosting site is set up for iis7 and .net 4.
i called godaddy and they couldn't help

Do I need to change the cshtml file to aspx file? If so how can i do it for the whole site?

Hi there,

No, simply renaming the file doesn't work.

Judging from this post: http://forums.iis.net/t/1174820.aspx GoDaddy doesn't support ASP.NET Web Pages (yet)....

Cheers,

Hi Imar,

I changed my hosting service to winhost.
I used web deploy to upload the classifieds site and it saved it as a folder called myapp.

I am having issues with the following
"Parser Error Message: The connection name 'LocalSqlServer' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty"

Support told me i need to use the following code in my web.config.

Code:

<connectionStrings> 
<remove name="LocalSqlServer" /> 
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=DBServerName;Integrated Security=false;Initial Catalog=DBName;User ID=DBLogin;Password=DBPassword" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />  
</connectionStrings>

the only database that i use the classifieds. how do i know what the password and user name is?

Thanks.

Hi there,

Your host should provide these details, as this is the account used to access sql server.

Cheers,

Imar

If you look at page 371 of the book, you see the error message relating to the missing connection string covered in the section entitled Other Issues. The solution is to provide a none empty value to the connectionString. It is also covered here:
