Ok hi everyone, I've reacheda stop in my testing becauseeee I can't do a simple deploy of my webpage to the IIS (I'm starting to hate it, I've never been able to make it work in 2 different computers I've had to work with). So my problem is the following:
I have a page that will serve as a data generator (sort of) to do some testing, I'm working on a remote server so I don't have much control over the config. They have windows server 2003, IIS 6, I've tried tutorials to publish my site by adding a new virtual directory and specifying my page directory. I tried creating a new web site outside the default and nothing. At first, I think asp.net was not configured because it was trying to display the aspx source and not plain html so I fixed it by changing the site properties and setting the asp version, they had 2, 2.something and 4.something.
I tried accessing the page with the ip which I set in the properties also, I used the server ip where I think I should be using localhost but typing localhost gives me "the webpage can't be found". At first, if I typed the server ip I got the directory browser, so I tried to open my Default.asp but then it said it couldn´t find the page. After some tweaks, now all of a sudden I can't even see the directory.
I create the new virtual directory, I set the ip to the server one, I open my browser, type the ip and it always tells me there's no default page set and I clearly specified it in the Document tab of the Web site Properties. It had many options, I just added Default.aspx and no luck. Tried removing all those options by default and just leave the .aspx no luck, now I can't browse directories, can´t access de default page within the IIS, can't access through localhost, I'm really lost here.
I can't do a visual studio publish 'cause I don't have that tool, tried to do it remotely from my pc and the publish fails always. What can I do? why no localhost? previous server configured? how do I set the default page or enable the browsing again? thanks a lot
