Hello,
I am new to ASP as well as IIS. I am trying to learn how to create a web
application using asp.NET. I have followed the instructions for configuring
the IIS settings but when I click on the .sln file to open the project in VS
I get the following error:
"Unable to open the Web Project 'projectname', the file path
C:\InetPub\wwwr oot\projectname does not correspond to the URL
'http://localhost/projectname. The two need to map to the same server
location."
I am using my local computer (XP Pro is OS) and IIS is installed before VS
was. I have the project folder located the InetPub\wwwroot folder. In the
project folder properties I have clicked on the Create button to put the
project name in the "Applicatio n name" filed so that the directory will be
recognized by IIS as an application. I have also added the ASPNET user with
Read & Exe, List Folder Contents, Read, & Write permissions. If I type the
URL of http://MyComputerName/projectname/filename.aspx the web page will open
up in the IE browser (although it does not display properly formatted). I
don't understand why I can't open the project by clicking on the
projectname.sln file. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. Thank
you for reading this lenghty post.

As long as you have installed IIS before VS.NET, there is no configuration
you need to do with IIS.
Just open VS.NET and create a new ASP.NET web project. VS.NET will ask IIS
to create the directory and give it the appropriate configuration settings.
The problem you are encountering at the moment is that you have manually
created an IIS application folder but the folder doesn't have normal LAN
sharing permissions that are needed for VS.NET to access the folder. In
Windows Explorer, right click the folder and choose Sharing And Security.
On the Sharing (not the Web Sharing) tab, choose to share the folder, do not
change the folder alias.
But as I said, in the future, when you want to make a new web project, just
do it from VS.NET and VS.NET will take care of all of this for you.

Hi Scott,
I took your suggestion and shared the folder (did not change alias) but I am
still receiving the error message. As far as I know; all services are running
and priveleges are correct. I am going to start over by creating the asp
project through VS.Net. Thank you for your reply.

Hi Dave,
I should have also mentioned that if you manually created the IIS virtual
directory and give this folder LAN sharing permissions. You still haven't
created an ASP.NET application in this folder. After manually setting the
folder up as described earlier, you would then go to VS.NET and choose to
create a NEW project at the http location you set up, you would NOT be
trying to OPEN an ASP.NET application, because no application would have
been created yet, just the folder.
