Run Web Site Administration Tool without Visual Studio 2005

[Asif]

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me about how to run Web Site Administration Tool
without using Visual Studio?

If I have a site with the following URL

http://www.mysite.com

Then what will be the URL for opening WAT Tool

Thanks a lot

Asif

WAT only runs on the local machine, so www.mysite.com won't serve the WAT interface.

You can create your own management interface, per the instructions in these 2 articles:

"ASP.NET 2.0 Member/Role Management with IIS"

Part 1, Security and Configuration Overview :

Part 2, Implementation :
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa478947.aspx

The code sample for that app is in this msi file :

Or, to do the same thing differently, follow Steven Cheng's advice at :

You can also spin up the built in web server, for the WAT, and hit from
another machine, but it is a rather involved process easily made simple with
Visual Studio.
