setting up a new project from existing code in vs 2015

Question

User193749913 posted

I apologize if this isn't the correct spot for this question. I received a wep app from an outside vendor that I am now supposed to maintain, but I'm not quite sure how to set it up in Visual Studio. The index, images, css are all located at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\notary but then the rest of the files and folders that are needed are located at C:\inetpub. I set my new project from existing code up to look here C:\inetpub\wwwroot\notary but not sure after that.

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Folder names have very little to do with a Visual Studio solution.  Perhaps you only have the deployed application files since they are inside the wwwroot folder?  Or perhaps the inetpub is the code base?  Or perhaps this is not an ASP solution?  You'll need to contact the vendor to get the details.

Yeah I wasn't worried about the naming of the folder, its more about the locations? Do I somehow need to add the files and folders that are in C:\Inetpub to my project which is in the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\notary folder? Right now when I run the files  in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\notary they are able to see the files in C:\inetpub. Thanks for the reply.

You need to contact the vendor.  Perhaps you have an ASP Core solution?

The vendor does all his work in dreamweaver so he wouldn't be able to help me get this set up in Visual Studio. This is a PHP application that I am using PHP tools with Visual Studio. I am trying to set this up as a new project using existing code option.

Hi trev52,

I can see that you had mentioned In your last post that application is PHP Application.

generally on this forum, we handle the issues regarding Asp.net projects.

so we are aware about that but we are not aware about PHP Application.

you can visit link below to get the detailed information regarding using the PHP tools.

Getting Started with PHP Tools

PHP tools also provide the support , so you can ask them how to setup the project because you are using that add on.
