Newbie deployment qeustion

[Greg Smith]

I have created my first web app and it runs fine on the machine it is
created on. It comes up fine in a web browser on the host machine or remote
machines.

I have tried to move the application to our "official" webserver (just by
cutting and paste) but I get the following error when I try to bring it up.

Line 44: by Microsoft that offers a single logon and core profile
services for member sites.
Line 45: -->
Line 46: <authentication mode="Windows" />
Line 47:
Line 48: <!-- AUTHORIZATION


Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Greg,

Thank you for using the community. From the description, the problem occur
after you deply a simple ASP.NET to tartget server. Based my experience,
this error is usually caused by your Directory in IIS not being marked as
an Application. Please check this by following the steps below:

1) Open up the IIS Services Manager (Start -> Run -> Type: inetmgr)
2) Right-Click on the node under the website that corresponds to your
ASP.NET web application.
3) Choose Properties.
4) Choose Directory Tab (or Virtual Directory depending on what is
displayed)
5) In this new property window, in the Application Settings Section,
ensure that the Application is created (if not, you should hit the Create
Button) If the application is already created, you will see the Remove
Button.

Additionally, you need to deploy all files including all ASPX, config and
dll to the target server. Here is article on deployment of ASP.NET. Hope
this help:
