How to host a Website on Win2003 server in LAN network?

by ghassanmuthanna . Updated 16 years, 4 months ago

The senario is like following:

I develope a website in Visual Studio 2005 using C# ASP.NET

the website working fine in my machine that I developed in it..

I copy the website folder to the c:\inetpub\wwwroot

and I try to browse the site from other machines in the network by typing this in the browser:
http://ServerName/websiteFolderName
but nothing display, but I solved this problem by adding a new website from IIS manager in the control panel
in the IIS manager I determined the physical path of the website folder, and then every thing working fine
but all the above steps done in a Windows vista OS

I try to make the same steps in my Windows 2003 server standard edition
I copied the website folder to the wwwroot folder and add the website from the IIS manager, but when I try to browse the site either from server itself or from other machines un the network
the browser displays an error message which is as follows:

Server Error in ‘/’ Application.
