Problem deploying Web application -- pls help !

Please help me figure this one out: I have a solution ("rms"), which has an ASP.NET Application startup project ("asp"), which refers to four Class Library projects. So I build the solution and then add a Web Setup Project ("WebSetup1"). The Web Setup Project compiles successfully. To test in my machine, I do a right-click on WebSetup1 in the Solution Explorer and select Install. Then I open a browser window and type "http://localhost/RMS" where RMS is the virtual directory. I get this error: Server Error in '/RMS/user' Application. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parser Error Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately. Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'asp.Login'. Source Error: Line 1: <%@ Page CodeBehind="Login.aspx.cs" Language="c#" AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="asp.Login" %> Line 2:  Line 3: <tr> Source File: C:InetpubwwwrootRMSuserLogin.aspx Line: 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:1.0.3705.0; ASP.NET Version:1.0.3705.0 What does this mean ? Does this mean that the server cannot find the codebehind / aspx file ? Do I need to add files to the Web Setup Project, or create another Web Setup Project ? I appreciate any suggestions or comments. Thanks in advance ! I had similar error. Go into IIS management console on the web server, find your web directory, right-click...properties. You should see a create button on that dialog box. Click create and that turns your web app truly into a web app. Hope that helps, Kory Pukash MCT, MCSDHey thanks ! Can't believe it was that simple. So the application is up and running in my machine. The thing is, when I copied the installation files to another machine, ran Setup.exe and everything (yes, I checked the setting in the IIS management console), the application did not quite work. Yes, the default page was displayed when I typed http://<computer name>/<virtual directory> but the application doesn't seem to be connecting to the database. This web server, by the way, only has the .NET framework. And the database is on another machine. Is there anything missing in the setup ? Do I need to configure anything ? Is that why the application doesn't connect to the database ? The application works fine from my machine (other users can access the application from it) -- I have VIsual Studio -- but try accessing it from this other web server with only the framework installed, and the application bogs down. What could be wrong ?How are you connecting to the database. connectionstring in ado.net or through a property setting within a web control? If I could see that I might be able to help. KPHi Kory, Before anything else, thanks for the replies ! I stumbled on the cause of the problem by accident. Turns out that the web server machine did not have MDAC 2.6 installed. I installed it, and presto ! the application is up and running. I guess the moral is, never assume that the remote server has all the necessary installations ^-^
