It clearly states that file is missing...so go check in IIS Virtual Directory where you kept this website files....if that advertisement file is present or not.....if no, then store it there.....

thanks,

Hi Varun,

1) Place your website directory in c:\inetpub\wwwroot path.

2) Go to IIS manager and inside DefaultWebsite, check for your website directory.

3) Right click and convert it to application and assign application pool (if IIS 7).

4) In IIS 7, in the right screen click on Default document and create a default document which you wanna open as start up page for your website.

5) Go to web browserand browse for http://locahost/Website and it opens up your startup page. You also can browse using  http://YourIISServerName/Website.

Hi Varun,

You can open IIS Manager in your local machine and see your servername (mostly computername will be server name for non local machines) under connections.

I am unable to add my server to my client when I click "Connect to server"... it says : "Unable to connect to remote machine".

 

Are the credentials same as that we use to log in to Windows?

I have already added my site wwwroot folder

When I access my site through source machine (machine where site is, where i posted in wwwroot) using addess localhost/sitename is accesible.

 

Now I want to to access site from other machine as well.

 

I went on Start -> In Start Seach i typed "IIS Manager"

There I clicked CONNECT TO SERVER on welcome screen.

Now I typed MY pc name XYZ-PC -> Next

I punched my log in credentials (one which is use for Windows)

Now while establishing connection it says error

"Unable to connect to target machine".

Same set of options but are not availalbe on source machine. Do I need some more packages?

Hi Varun,

I think you need not to connect to source machine from IIs Manager, you can go to web browser and typ url http://servername/website.

This  way you can access your website from other machine with in your network.
