System.Web Not Found

[Ryan Nash]

I've got an ASP.NET app that is running just fine on a
production IIS server. I needed to setup a development
server to test some changes that are being made to the
app. I tried to copy the production server as closely as
I could. Same version of W2k Server, same version of
the .NET SDK, mimicked all the setting in IIS that I
could find. But the app still won't run on the new box.
I keep getting a Configuration Error, "File or assembly
name System.Web, or one of its dependencies, was not
found." I know the correct version of System.Web is
installed. I can got to the %system_dir%\assembly\
folder and look at it.

Is there a service or something that I forgot to turn
on? It seems like I'm not even getting off the ground
here. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan,

Depending on how you deployed the project, you may need to go and add a
reference to System.Web from the Project / Add Reference... / .Net Tab from
within VS.Net on the development server and recompile. Dunno if this is the
case though. I had similar problems once!

Thanks for the reply, Thomas.

I should have mentioned in my first post that I just
copied and pasted the wwwroot folder from the old server
to the new one. This application was written a few years
ago by folks who are no longer at the company, so digging
up all the source might be a challange. If I can find
it, I'll try recompiling and see if that does the trick.

Thanks!
Ryan
