Setting Up Sub Domain

[MrShrek]

I have set up a subdomain for testing of a live site, but came to use it today and guess what it will not work, is there any instructions on what need to be uploaded to were.

domain name freetolook.co.uk
subdomain name sirs2hers

i have published all files from visual studio to the sub directory sirs2hers on freetolook.

do i need web.config file and bin files on the root of freetolook aswell.

I thought you could have a number of sub domains and each referenced there own config files, this is my end goal for testing of site before sending to live location.

Thanks in advance

I think that if you access it via subdomain.domain.etx then you do not need them in your root folder. However, if you access the sub domain via domain.etx/subdomain (the subdomain is also a sub folder of your site) then you are best making the sub folder a virtual folder.

Hope this helps, my brain is not working this morning

Hi,

In my experience you can have independent subdomains. I see that you are using the AjaxControlToolkit. Are you sure you have the assembly in your /Bin folder? There you should have:

AjaxControlToolkit.dll
AjaxControlToolkit.dll.refresh
AjaxControlToolkit.pdb (as is usually built in debug mode)
AJAXExtensionsToolbox.dll
AJAXExtensionsToolbox.dll.refresh

Cheers

Yes you do - sub domains are entirely seperate sites/applications in IIS, therefore they will not "see" the files that you have at root.

I see that you are using the AjaxControlToolkit. Are you sure you have the assembly in your /Bin folder?

If you are using Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 Ajax Extensions 1.0 then you should need these assemblines in the bin folder (dont think it would even work with them in the bin folder) - as they are already installed in the GAC.

have managed to access the site after setting up virtual directory thanks Tanzy.

When I accees a page with Ajax control on i get try

http://www.sirs2hers.freetolook.co.uk/horoscopes/

this works fine on local machine but not on redfox

Parser Error Message: Unknown server tag 'asp:ScriptManager'.

I have looked on my m,achine ALL DRIVES for the files AJAXExtensionsToolbox.dll
AJAXExtensionsToolbox.dll.refresh and can not find them.

Help

Thanks

Remove the Ajax assemblies from the bin folder, you dont need them.

Make sure your application is compiled against the public stable release of Ajax Extensions - not an earlier beta release. The core ASP.NET AJAX assembly has been changed from Microsoft.Web.Extensions.dll to System.Web.Extensions.dll. In addition, the namespace has changed from Microsoft.Web.* to System.Web.*.

Got it working, not sure how and why but heres what I did,

Created an Ajax enable Web Site, copied all of the files from current website project except the wb.config, made changes to the web.config, uploaded and now it seems to be working.

BTW the site that was not working, had Ajax added to it a few days ago, probably done something wrong then

If any one has any devine intuition or an explanation of what I may have fixed please let me know.

Thanks

Steve
