Configure a ATLAS website in IIS

I downloaded the ATLAS msi, installed it, and I could create a ATLAS enabled ASP.Net web project. It works fine from VS.Net 2005, but when I copy the project to ISS it doesn't work. I copied the entire solution to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ATLASWebDemo, and created a web application called "ATLASWebDemo", but as soon as I execute the page I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" Messagebox.

How do I configure IIS to deply this solution to our IIS server (Windows Server 2003)?

hello.

have you checked if iis is configured to use asp.net 2.0?

Have got any new ideeas, because I am in the same situation...

Yes, the ASP.Net 2.0 application works 100%, but as soon as I invoke the timer <atlas:TimerControl> I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". It works fine when I run it from the VS.Net 2005 IDE, but as soon as I copy the solution to my InetPub folder it doesn't work.

How would you publish a solution that is using ATLAS? I am sure I am missing a setting in IIS or something.

Thank for the speedy reply.

Hi there, no ideas yet, I'll be trying again today, will keep you up to date.

I'm also have the same problem, but also in Cassini.

Here is the server respone for TimerControl request:

<delta><pageError message="Object reference not set to an instance of an object." /></delta></delta>

hello.

well, this means that you're getting an exception on the server side...it's not a configuration problem though.

Here are some suggestions (yes, some are obvious, but you never know):

1) Check to make sure Microsoft.Web.Atlas.DLL is indeed copied over and resides in the bin directory.

2) Check web.config to confirm it has the correct references to Atlas.

3) Look in EventViewer and see if there are any helpful logs coming from the app.

4) Use tools such as FileMon (fromwww.sysinternals.com) to check if there are any permissioning issues that could prevent objects from getting created.
