Deployment Questions

[Wayne Wengert]

I have an account with an ISP for my web site. I do not have access to the
server configuration controls. I can ask the ISP to designate an existing
directory on my web site as a virtual directory. I use VSNET 2003 to develop
applications and I am trying to understand exactly what/how to "install" my
ASP.NET applications on my web site. The information I've found so far
focuses on processes that only work if you own the IIS server.

I currently have one directory "DotNet" defined as a virtual directory. I
want to be able to install multiple different pages ("applications") for
development testing. For example, in "DotNet" I'd like to install a set of
aspx pages to test some SQL data retrieval and update processes - then, I'd
like to create a sub-directory ("DotNet/Test2") and install some aspx pages
to test some data submission forms.

If anyone can point me to information on ways to accomplish this I'd really
appreciate it.

You'll need either
FPSE on the server, FTP Access to the server, HTTP Upload access to the
server or \\server\share access to the server.

Find out from them what access you have.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I do have FTP access to my web pages. I
have lots of ASP and HTML pages there and am trying to begin the migration
to ASP.NET

Great.... Should be no biggie then. The only tricky part is that you might
need the VD created for any individual sites, other then that just push your
stuff up to the site.

I like WebDeploy/Unleash-It for publishing

Curt;

I downloaded Unleash-It from the site you pointed to but I have no idea how
to use it. The help points to http://www.eworldui.net/ where I don't see any
reference to Unleash-IT or WebDeploy. The author's site is very confusing
and, again, I don't see any meaningful help or tutorials. Am I missing
something?

He/they are in the process of updating it I guess...There is a small writeup
in the Articles section of my blog site but basically just choose your
source (the www folder of your site) the destination (the FTP info for your
host) and check the file types you want to deploy (all most likely), then
click DEPLOY. That should be it.
