ASP.NET 2 app
I'm trying to run a .NET 2 blogging app. (http://www.codeplex.com/blogengine). I've enabled .NET version 2 under the domain Website Settings > Website Extensions in HELM. The files are on the web root in a single folder. The installation instructions state that this folder must be set as an ASP.NET 2 application.
On a local host in IIS this would be done thru the folder properties. But what else (if anything) do I need to do in HELM? Currently, I just get an application error returned by the server. Thanks Will |

ASP.NET app installation
Thanks Paul, I found some further info, which I have pasted below incase anyone else needs clarification.
====================================== By default all \wwwroot folders are already configured as application directories. This allows your asp.net applications to run from \wwwroot\bin. But if you try to run a asp.net application from a sub-folder ie: \wwwroot\testapp1\bin, this application will likely fail because the \testasp1 directory is not setup as a application/virtual directory. To make a sub-folder a application/virtual directory, follow these steps: 1. Goto the Helm control panel and find your domain. 2. Then goto the 'Virtual Directories' icon and then click add new 3. Enter the name of your sub-folder in the Virtual Directory Name textbox ie: testapp1 4. Select the Physical Folder and click ok. You should see \testapp1 5. Save Assuming that the directory \wwwroot\testapp1 already was created, this example would make the \wwwroot\testapp1 folder a application/virtual directory and allow asp.net applications to run from the new \wwwroot\testapp1\bin directory. NOTE: For this to work correctly, both the "Virtual directory" and "points to path" texts need to be exactly the same. IE: Virtual Directory Name: \testapp1 and Physical Folder: \testapp1 |

security/permissions
Further to my last post, the blog app is now running but I think I have a problem with read/write permissions. The setup instructions for the blog state that a certain folder in the virtual dir/app folder must have read/write. I thought I had done this via folder properties in FileZilla on upload, but whenever I attempt to amend blog settings etc, I get a "connect to www.domain.co.uk" dialog with user and password prompts. Could someone please advise what I need to do to get rid of this?
Thanks Will |
