c# - publishing asp.net application to the internet

Question

i have a web app that runs locally on our network. the way users access it is by going to myserver:80/site/default.aspx

i reconfigured the settings to display the website to the internet.

the way i am accessing it now is:

ipaddress/site/default.aspx

and getting the following error:

Server Error in '/' Application.

The resource cannot be found.

Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.  Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly. 

Requested URL: /site/default.aspx

so it seems as if it does see the site, but the site does not want to grant access?

what am i doing wrong?

edit if the consensus is that it doesnt actually see the webpage. then again i would like to know what i am doing wrong

Answer 1

When moving from Visual Studio's built-in web server to IIS, often you need to simply remove the top level directory form the URL:

ipaddress/default.aspx

or simply

ipaddress

if default.aspx really is a default.
