After purchasing my windows hosting account yesterday, I tried deploying my time tracking app code on the server today and I was so happy to see the results
http://android-diary.net/app/Default.aspx
These are the steps that I followed, for deployment
Copy files to server
- Create a new folder under httpdocs ( virtual directory configured is IIS)
- Copy the files ‘Default.aspx’, ‘Default.aspx.cs’ , ‘Default.aspx.designer.cs’ to the folder along with web.config file
Change .net version to 4.0
The default version on the hosting package was .net 2.0 and I wanted to make sure, I had the latest version for my apps
- Click the downward pointing error on the plesk homepage ( as shown above ). From the list that pops up, choose ‘ASP.NET settings‘
- Now click on ‘Change version‘ and choose .net 4.0 from the list. Once you do that, you should be able see the version number ( as shown below )
CodeBehind to CodeFile
Change CodeBehind ( shown above ) to CodeFile=”Default.aspx.cs”. Otherwise, the aspx page won’t be able to access the name space ‘EasyTracker.Default’ ( see above )
Disable custom errors
By disabling custom errors, you would be able to see the error in the current page itself
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="false"/>
<customErrors mode="Off" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
NOTE: Also if you still find any issue, please enable ‘Read & Execute’ permission for all the files
