I am a newbie to web developement. My company is getting ready to set up a VPN. I am needing to set up a distributed web app to access data on our local server. Our network server is Novell version 6 and I’ll be using a MySql database on and Apache for a web server.
My question is can I get my Visual Basic .Net 2003 to recognize the Apache server. Right now if I try to create a new web application within the Visual Studio developement environment I get an error telling me there is no web server. I have set up Apache on my desktop in a kind of single user mode for testing and learning. The server is up and working but Visual Studio 2003 doesn’t see it. Is this because .Net only works with the windows server or is there a way to get it to work with Apache.
If it won’t work with Apache I’ll work from a different direction I was just wondering.
Thanks for all your help.
