Error While Creating CMS Project...

[Jason Richmeier]

When I attempt to create a CMS-enabled project in Visual Studio .NET 2003, I
receive the following error:

Could not create virtual directory 'http://<site_name>/CMS' in location
'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Content Management Server\server\IIS_CMS\'.

I have worked on finding a solution to this error for almost two days now
but have been unsuccessful so far. I found one or two articles that listed
some things to try but none of these suggestions appear to work. Also, I
believe that I have followed all of the instructions in the book I have but
this doesn't seem to help either.

If anyone can provide me with the magic solution (or whatever it is that I
am missing), I will be most grateful.

Thank you,

Jason Richmeier

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your posting!

I think you may try to create a common asp.net application in vs.net 2003
to see if that works.
If no, I suggest you try to run the command to register it.

ASP.NET IIS Registration Tool (Aspnet_regiis.exe)
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k6h9cz8h.aspx

NOTE: for VS.NET 2003 which commonly ran asp.net 1.1, please run the tool
under the .NET framework 1.1 directory.

Aspnet_regiis.exe -i

If yes, I think the VS.NET 2003 IDE and the IIS setting should be OK.

So the problem may be specific to the the CMS project.
From the error, it seems that the CMS develop package is not installed
correctly. I suggest try to reinstall that to see if that works.

Also for CMS related issue, I high suggest post this question in the
newsgroup below.
