Re: Images/CSS not resolving on dev machine testing



Just a quick update.
I looked at the some docs quickly and looks like you need to specifically
enable ISAPI extensions for IIS.
Check out this article
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/07/03/IIS7/default.aspx first
picture has a reference on how to do it.

Hope this helps.
Let me know.
George.

Hi,
My understanding you referring to multisite.dll from
http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/Multisite.asp

I actually wrote it way back before vista came around. Unfortunately I do
not have Vista machine available for me to test. So I can not promise that
I will fix it soon. I'll try but if there is no update in this article in
a week then I probably failed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

to use <base> tag is good idea and probably should work. involves changing
the whole project though.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Other than that i can not suggest anything. You might try to swtich to
work with Casini instead of IIS. Then i belive your application will run
from the root and images will be back.

I have just upgraded to a new development machine that came with Vista
ultimate.
I am developing a website with VS2005 and VB. My image and css references
in my source code are all relative. For example
http://root.com/images/some.gif in my source is just /images/some.gif.
When I publish to the root web on any IIS server, that works just fine.

On my old XP machine I had registered a custom version of multisite.dll
with a config.ini like this:
[websites]
localhost=/alias

That worked fine. To test the project and have all relative references
work properly on my dev machine I just typed in IE http://localhost
instead of http://localhost/alias and everything worked as if it were
published to a root web and acted exactly like it does when published to
a production server (with a different web.config file of course). But
multisite.dll will not register on Vista.

Note I am developing in C:\development\project folder. When it is set up
as a virtual website I need to type in http://localhost/alias to get it
to run. That is when I lose my images and css styles.

So, what is the correct way to do this?

I have tried editing the hosts file to create an entry like:
localhost/alias alias

Thinking that I can then type in http://alias and get the site to come
up.
I have also heard that others have somehow created a domain refererence
(maybe on a network machine... they were not clear) and got the test site
to work.
Note... when I just run debug... my images do not show up either.

Then I thought of creating a <base> element in each page with a variable
in global.asa that I could reference as <base> in my pages and maybe that
will help.

OK... I obiously need some schooling on this matter. I have not had the
luxury of attending VS2005 workshops to get this "small" problem
rectified and have not found an anwer other than using multisite.dll.
Any suggestions would be appreciated..... thanks

If somebody could point me in the right direction it would be very much
appreciated.
