Windows Server

Hi all,
I know this may be trivial but I've researched and researched and
researched and cannot find the solution to my problem. I hope one of
you can help me.

I have a server that has Windows Server 2003 on it as well as
Sharepoint. I have another website I want to run on this box (ASP,
locally only, develop it etc) but I can't set it up on this box because
sharepoint won't allow me.

Does anybody know how to install this ASP .NET site ? I've tried
excluding the path within Sharepoint but that doesn't seem to work, it
won't accept the path.

-Create a virtual directory underneath the web site that contains your
SPS installation (usually 'Default Website' after a standard SPS
installation).
-Change the application pool to 'Default Application Pool'
-Hit the application 'Create' button and give the web application a
name e.g. 'app'
-Go into Sharepoint Central Administration->Configure Virtual Server
Settings->'Default Website' ->Define Managed Paths
-Add the application path as an excluded path, e.g. '/app'
This worked for me and now anytime I want to add a new ASP.NET project,
I add it as a new virtual directory/application under 'app' and it is
automatically excluded.
Good luck.

Believe it or not this isn't working for some reason, i've tried that 8
ways from Sunday and it won't register that it exists.

Hi,

I've just used the instructions that swordsy posted inconjunction with some
information in the Sharepoint Portal SDK and it does work for me.

You can download a current version of the SDK from the MSDN site.
Once installed, search for the word "coexist". The entry you need to look at
is called "Modifying Configuration Settings for an Application to Coexist
with Windows Sharepoint Services"

Follow the instruction there and also you may need to adjust the permissions
of the physical folder for the App on the drive.

There are 2 other articles in the SDK that might help:

"Creating a Web Application in a Sharepoint Web Site" & "Getting Started
with Customising a Sharepoint Web Site in Visual Studio.Net"

I didn't need to add the Mime type for my app.

You may also find the answer to my own query in this newsgroup useful. It
should appear after yours under the heading "Web Application and Shareopint
Portal"

I'm now off to try to properly document exactly what I did to make mine work
so that I don't forget again next week!
