Sounds like you have either: a) no webserver running b) no share called wwwroot$
- You need IIS to be running to develop a web application (or you can use the free casini webserver that comes with ASPWebMatrix, though integrating this with Visual Studio will probably be a bit of a chore: download from www.asp.net/webmatrix/) - When you installed the .Net Framework (as part of the VS.Net install), it shares your c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ folder as a hidden wwwroot$ share. It uses this method to get to files (if it can't use this method, it can be set to use Frontpage Server Extensions instead). However, by default, only users in the Administrators and VS Developers group have access to this share. If you are not an administrator on your machine, you need to add your account to the VS Developers group (which, by default, is empty) Cheers Ken ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: "Tiffany Blake" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: VS.net web form i am unable to open a web application project without getting "Web Access Failed" error. > do you know of a workaround to the "Web Access Failed" error - unable to create web project 'webapplication1'. the unc share \\L2SB844585\wwwroot$\WebApplication1' does not exist or you do not have access. > > we have no infrastructure in place, other than the locally installed (win2k laptop) enterprise architect edition. i checked all install options and manually installed the sql server desktop engine using the setup.exe provided. the server was definitely installed because i have an icon on my desktop toolbar > > on rollover it reads - "Running - \\L2SB844585\VSdontNET - MSSQLServer" > > on rightclick, a menu of options is presented: > Open SQL Server Service Manager > Current service on \\L2SB844585\VSdontNET > MSSQLServer stop > MSSQLServer pause ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --- You are currently subscribed to activeserverpages as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
