Moving ASP.NET Application to Build Machine

[Cowboy \(Gregory A. Beamer\)]

1. Get latest version from SourceSafe
2. Open Windows Explorer
3. Right click on app folder
4. Go to web sharing and name it the same as the project name (occasionally
different, but this is most common)
5. Open project on build machine

To get this working flawlessly, set standards for developers (ie, name
project and folder the same -- which is default, et al).

!Hi - we have a pretty traditional setup with the app being developed on
!a development machine, checked into VSS and then checked out of VSS on a
!build machine where it gets built for distribution. The problem is that
!after opening the .sln file (in VS 2003) on the build machine, it
!prompts me for the http location for the project. If I put
!"http:\\localhost\NewName" it creates a folder in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
!called NewName and makes a copy of all the files there. Then when you
!build, it outputs everything there as well. The problem is that I don't
!want two copies of everything around. I need the project to run in the
!directory location it got pulled from VSS. If I try to specify that
!directory as the location for the project it complains that it needs a
!valid http URL. If I manually create a virtual directory that maps to
!the original directory and then use that http address as the location
!for the project, it complains that that address already has a project.
!Can anyone help?
!thanks!
