problem in first web form application

[Rachana]

Hi Friends,

I hv just started learning vb.net .
When I was creating my 1st web forms appl., got follw. problem.
1. It doesn't allow me to type proj.name. Simply displays default one
as :WebApplication1
2. Displays default location as
http://localhost/webapplication1
I hv specified as
http://p4/webapplication1
whether its default one or specified one it gives same error, as
follows:
-----------------------------------------------------
err.window titled 'window acess failed'
err.msg.: default access mode is file share but proj.folder at
http://p4/webapplication1 can not be opened with path
http:\\p4\wwwroot$\webapplication1
Retry using diff. file share path.
-----------------------------------------------------
How to overcome? what is file share path?

The Project Name is taken from the Virtual Directory created under
localhost, all of which is gleaned from the entered Location, for
example entering the Location as ...

http://localhost/Fred

.... sets the Project Name to "Fred".

2. Displays default location as
http://localhost/webapplication1

That's because it wants to create your new web application on your local
web server (localhost). This is a Good Thing.

I hv specified as
http://p4/webapplication1

You probably don't have permission to create new virtual directories
within the default web site on the server, p4.
Don't do this. Let the IDE create the new web site locally, where you
can do the most good with it.

err.msg.: default access mode is file share but proj.folder at
http://p4/webapplication1 can not be opened with path
http:\\p4\wwwroot$\webapplication1

Again, probably a permissions issue on the p4 server.
Create everything locally to start with - you can publish it elsewhere
later.

HTH,
