From: ton on 13 Dec 2009 13:23 Hi, In VS2008 I've developed a Web app. It is published on a server and it works. But since I ve installed several components on my server I'm not sure what I need exactly . So I thought. Use Virtal PC (2007) to add a 2003 server and then publish or install whatever my website to it. But how can I publish on a disk of my virtual pc (server). The only shared drive is on the real pc. The next question is how can I use this webserver from another pc to test the application. What should I do. This isnt't a strange requirement, of is virtual pc just an island where no other (virtual or host) pc can get at it. Please help Ton

You don't need a shared drive to host a website. And your virtual machine is a real machine, just like your physical machine. There really is no difference as far as the software (both OS and app) running on it is concerned. > The next question is how can I use this webserver from another PC to test > the application. See above. > What should I do. What you should do is to consider your virtual machine as identical in every way to a physical machine. If you wanted to do this on a physical machine as opposed to a virtual machine, how would you do it? However you would do it, the answer is the same for a virtual machine... -- Mark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net
From: ton on 14 Dec 2009 03:59 I'm sorry but I cannot see this virtual pc form my develop pc (which host the virtual pc). I can ping from my host to the server but there is no answer. The other way round does function, and the database server can be ping-ed as well thanx ton "Mark Rae [MVP]" <mark(a)markNOSPAMrae.net> schreef in bericht news:OzmSr9CfKHA.5792(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > "ton" <ton(a)nospam.nl> wrote in message > news:7818b$4b253128$541ee3ce$31866(a)cache5.tilbu1.nb.home.nl... > >> But how can I publish on a disk of my virtual PC (server). > > Exactly the same way you would publich a website to any other machine > running a webserver - there is no difference... > > >> The only shared drive is on the real PC. > > You don't need a shared drive to host a website.

From: ton on 14 Dec 2009 04:17 forget the last answer, this is what is happening: I'm sorry but I cannot see this virtual pc form my develop pc (which host the virtual pc). I can ping from my host to the server but there is no answer. The other way round does NOT function either, BUT the database server (a different real pc) can be ping-ed thanx ton "ton" <ton(a)nospam.nl> schreef in bericht news:ce748$4b25fe70$541ee3ce$3771(a)cache3.tilbu1.nb.home.nl... > I'm sorry but I cannot see this virtual pc form my develop pc (which host > the virtual pc). > I can ping from my host to the server but there is no answer. > > The other way round does function, and the database server can be ping-ed > as well > > thanx > > ton > > > "Mark Rae [MVP]" <mark(a)markNOSPAMrae.net> schreef in bericht > news:OzmSr9CfKHA.5792(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >> "ton" <ton(a)nospam.nl> wrote in message >> news:7818b$4b253128$541ee3ce$31866(a)cache5.tilbu1.nb.home.nl... >> >>> But how can I publish on a disk of my virtual PC (server). >> >> Exactly the same way you would publich a website to any other machine >> running a webserver - there is no difference... >> >> >>> The only shared drive is on the real PC. >> >> You don't need a shared drive to host a website.
