HOWTO: Deploy Web Applications with Visual InterDev 6.0

• Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 6.0
• Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0

SUMMARY

If you are building a Web application using Visual InterDev, and your Visual InterDev project is not on your production Web server, you can use deployment to periodically deploy and redeploy your application into production.

MORE INFORMATION

The Visual Interdev 6.0 Deployment feature can use either the FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) or the Posting Acceptor to deploy content. If both the FPSE and the Posting Acceptor are installed on the production server, the deployment explorer will default to using the FPSE.

The FPSE can be installed by running Setup.exe from either of the following locations:

• Visual InterDev 6.0: the FP98EXT folder on CD #1



• Visual Studio 6.0: the FP98EXT folder on CD #2

• Visual InterDev 6.0: the Deploy folder on CD #1



• Visual Studio 6.0: the Deploy folder on CD #2

1. From the Projects menu select New Deployment Target.



2. Specify the fully qualified URL to your target server. An example of a valid URL would be "http://<destination web server name>/<destination application name>".



3. The Deployment Explorer window will appear in the Visual InterDev Development Environment.



4. From the Deployment Explorer window click the Deploy icon.



5. Your application should deploy sucessfully.
