Re: How do you acces ASP.NET WAT on a Web server that doesnt have

re:
What do I do on a deployed web server that does not have VS installed?

webdev.webserver.exe is all you need.
There's a WebDev.WebServer.exe.manifest file, too, but it's not really needed.

re:
Does IIS have the webdev.webserver installed?

No. IIS uses its own web server.
webdev.webserver.exe is a "lightweight" IIS, with no management features.

I'm pretty sure webdev.webserver.exe is installed with the .Net Framework 2.0,
but cannot confirm since I've got 2 machines : one had vs2005 and the other
has vs 2005 Express, and they both install the Web Server.

In any case, since you have VS 2005 on at least one machine,
you can simply copy webdev.webserver.exe to wherever you'd like.

Or Can I install just the web development server
on any machine without VS being installed?

Yes.

You can start it with batch files, per the sample I posted, to save some time, too.

What do I do on a deployed web server that does not have VS installed?
Does IIS have the webdev.webserer installed? Or Can I install just the web
development server on any machine without VS being installed?

You can't.

You *can* start the webserver manually, and run any disk-based files,
but the admin files must be launched from within VS 2005 because
there's a VS class which accepts 4 parameters :

the port to use, the physical path to the webadminfiles directory,
the application's PhysicalPath and the application's Url

Here's an example of starting the
ASP.NET Development Web Server from the command-line:

start /b webdev.webserver /port:1544 /path:"c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My
Documents\Visual Studio 2005\WebSites\AppDir"

That will start the server on port 1544 with the default file in the AppDir directory.

WebDev.WebServer.exe ( the ASP.NET Development Web Server executable ) is located in :

Drive:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

I tried entering the following link in a web browser

http://localhost:1701/asp.netwebadminfiles/default.aspx?applicationPhysicalPath=C:\PersonalWebsite\&applicationUrl=/PersonalWebsite

If the VS is open then it connects to WAT but if the VS is not open I get

The page cannot be displayed

without the port number in the request I get:
Requested URL: /asp.netwebadminfiles/default.aspx

How do you access the WAT with a web browser if VS is not installed on the
system?

You don't need VS to access the WAT.
All you need is a browser.

re:
Are there other methods/utilities to mange that aspnetdb.mdf besides ASP WAT?

To create the database, use aspnet_regsql.exe,
found in the .Net Framework 2.0 directory.

You can write your own classes to modify the DB's data,
or use an OR mapper to create the classes for you.

You can also add fields to existing tables, and/or add new tables,
and use them for whatever purpose you want to use them.

I am trying to deploy an ASP.NET 2.0 (VS2005) application that has member
pages (with logon security) on a production server that does not have VS on
it. How do you setup/access WAT on that system so the administrator can
manage the user accounts?

Are there other methodes/utilities to mange that aspnetdb.mdf besides ASP WAT?
