I am working with a Visual Studio 2008 (C#) project on Windows XP Pro. I am trying to publish that application using ‘Publish Web’ wizard to a remote server which is Windows Web Server 2008 OS.
But the publishing fails every time with following error:
Connecting to http://XX.XXX.XXX.XX/... Unable to create the Web site 'http://XX.XXX.XXX.XX/'. The Web server does not appear to have FrontPage Server Extensions installed. ========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ========== ========== Publish: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========
I used these links:
- http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/134/install-frontpage-server-extensions/
- http://www.iis.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=34&g=6&i=1630
- http://www.rtr.com/fpse/
I have installed FrontPage Server extensions from above links without any problems on the remote server.
And extend the Virtual Server (the ‘Default Web Site’).
However, the problem remains. I cannot find any solution to this issue.
ok problem is solved.
it was an user authorization issue. I set the user as admin for remote server.
