Running a web App on PC using the Development Server?

Is the Development Server part of the .net 2x runtime package or
installed with one installs VS 2005? I wish to run a small web app on
a machine, with the runtime installed, and need to know if I need to
include the Development Server in the install. If the latter, what
files need to be included? (Exe, DLL, etc)

Finally, can I legally re-distrubte the Development Server?

You need a web server, capable of running ASP.NET. The simplest way is to
have IIS running (If the computer runs on Win2K Pro or WinXP or Win2K
Server, or Win2003).

re:

WebDev.WebServe r.exe *is* a web server and it can run ASP.NET.

re:

AFAIK, only WebDev.WebServe r.exe.
You'll find it in the Windows\Microso ft.net\v2.0.507 27 directory.

There's also a WebDev.WebServe r.exe.manifest file in that directory,
but I haven't witnessed any ill effects from not including it with the executable.

I haven't tested all scenarios, so you 'd do well to test it by copying
WebDev.WebServe r.exe to a clean machine and checking out its functionality.

If you do that, please let us know how it went.

The command-line syntax for launching the Dev Server is :
WebDeb.WebServe r /port:<port number/path:<physical path[/vpath:<virtual path>]

I've never been able to get the [/vpath:<virtual path>] parameter to work,
so you could try to do without it ( running the app in the root space ).

For example, you could launch the webserver using the following syntax:

start /B webdev.webserve r.exe /port:81 /path:"c:\pathto yourwebfiles"

You can set the port to any port number you want to (preferrably one higher than 1024),
but don't use port 80, as your clients might have a webserver at that port.

re:

It's distributed with the .Net Framework 2.0 redistributable ,
so I doubt that there's any onus related to its distribution.

Are you sure the WebDev.WebServe r.exe is included in .NET2.0
redistributable ? I'd believe it only comes with .NET2.0 SDK. I've checked a
few computers in my office, on which only .NET2.0 framework installed, not
2.0 Framework SDK. There is no WebDev.WebServe r.exe in the folder
"C:\Windows\Mic rosoft.NET\Fram ework\v2.0.5072 7".

If the "developmen t server" mentioned in OP only has .NET2.0 framework, not
SDK, he need to either run IIS, or distribute WedDev.WebServe r.exe and make
sure it is running when needed.

Hmmm, you're right.
It's also included with VWD (besides VS 2005, of course).

Fellas!! This is a very complicated one and it took me a few days to figure out exactly what's going on, but here's the final story: I have a production environment running on .NET with a SQL Server (2000, SP3). The SQL Server is on a dedicated Proliant computer with 2GB RAM (the actual SQLServer.exe process has dynamic memory assignment and can reach up to 1.6GB RAM). Nothing else is running on that specific computer.
