I am new to Winhost. I uploaded an html page and it worked. Recently, I uploaded my first asp.net website, which was a calculator, to my domain and I got an error message. At first, it didn't work on my PC either. My instructor said that my code was good and told me to change a line in the configuration file, then it worked. However, I uploaded the changed file again and I still got an error message. This might be a silly question. However, I am a beginner in asp.net and I have no clue how to fix this. Can somebody help me with this? Thanks in advance for your input!
I'm sorry but there's not enough information to really diagnose the problem. What is the exact error message you are getting? What is the URL were we can see the error message?
Thanks for your prompt response. The URL is as following: http://www.joannewang.net/FinancialCalculator.aspx This the version before I changed the web.config.
Is this a folder... financialcalculator.aspx Typically it is bad programming practice to name a folder with a period. Never the less, the error is telling you that the folder "financialcalculator.aspx" needs to be set as an application folder. Read this kb article. http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a635/what-is-the-application-starting-point-tool.aspx
I changed the folder name and still got the same error message. http://www.joannewang.net/FinancialCalculator/default.aspx
You have to read the Knowledge Base article that Ray linked to, it will show you how to set the directory to be an application starting point.
That website is messed up indeed. I tried to upload another one and it worked! Thanks for your support!
