I have installed OS Windows7 Home Basic at my development machine. After developing the ASP.NET web application, I needed to deploy. I started installing IIS on my machine, but found that in Win7 Home Basic, there is no iis manager. After searching on net, I found Cassine Web Server(CWS). I installed the CWS and it working fine as a web server.
I have a question. Is CWS is better than IIS? Is CWS is secured as IIS? Is CWS can be used as a web server at target machines?
If anyone used CWS, please tell me about your experience.
CWS is just a development web server. It has no purpose to be used as a production web server.

I am trying to deploy a .net core c# app to an IIS running on Windows Server 2016. I created a publish profile. I click on Validate Connection button and get the following error, that I need to install Web Deploy and that Web Management Service should be started:
I did install Web Deploy 3.6 and the Web Management Service is definitely running.
Here is my profile. The Site Name is AppPool\WebSiteName. User name is the same as I logged in on the server with.
What am I missing?
Figured out the problem. The Server entry needs to have the protocol. So http://winserver instead of just the name of the box.
I have ASP.Net 4.6 site using MVC 6. This site is already built with MS SQL Server. But in the new version, the database is replaced with MySql
The site is running fine on my local windows machine.As Microsoft has named this version ASP.Net VNext - Open Source.
Currently, this site is deployed on windows server of Bigrock hosting provider.
Now I have another subscription with Bluehost for Linux Server.
But I have no clue how to deploy the same site on Linux server.
Can somebody guide me Step by Step to deploy the published site on Linux
I am trying to run a custom site on IIS with ASP.NET whih connects to a site on the internet which is a coding community via HttpWebRequest.
If I use the Visual Studio built-in Development Server it successfully runs and shows the result of the Request.
But as soon as I use the local IIS for running the application I get an error saying that the site (which I am trying to connect to) is refusing the connection.
But there has nothing changed right? I have not changed my code at all!
EDIT: My understanding is that the IIS and VIsual Studio's "On-The-Run" IIS are in base the same. But why are they acting so different here?
Web applications in a production environment are hosted using Microsoft's IIS web server software. In the development environment, however, the application may be hosted using IIS or the ASP.NET Development Server. Ideally, the same web server software should be used in both environments because using different software adds another variable in the mix. However, the ease of use of the ASP.NET Development Server makes it an attractive choice in the development environment. The good news is that there are only a few fundamental differences between IIS and the ASP.NET Development Server, and if you are aware of these differences you can take steps to help ensure that the application works and functions the same way regardless of the environment.
Visual studio uses IIS Express to host your application, which is a lightweight, self-contained version of IIS. It is used by developers to develop and test websites inside the same machine(localhost). The major difference between IIS and IIS express is that IIS express doesn't accept request outside the localhost. while IIS accept the web request from any another machine inside the domain. SO in order to accept request from your application you have to deploy it to IIS not IIS express.
I have no prior experience working in the .NET stack. Not sure if this is a common requirement. I have developed a simple .NET web service which accesses the COM library provided by a label printer SDK to send print jobs to the printer connected to my machine.
I need to distribute the web service to clients so that it can be hosted on their machines locally. Set up should be minimum - something like an installer which will do the needful to deploy the web service locally.
I assume that any windows machine comes with .NET bundled.
I understand that IIS is the windows equivalent of apache-tomcat. Does is it come bundled with all windows machines? If it does, I figure I can write some scripts to deploy the web service to IIS using the ".deploy" file generated by Visual Studio.
Are there any betters way of doing this ?
So my question is :
How do I distribute a web service that should be be hosted and run locally on the client's machine without forcing the user to download and install a web server and deploy the package?
Edit:
So, I gather IIS is not supported by home editions.
I made a site using VS10 Ultimate [ASP.NET] and when I build & run it runs the severer locally, while I want to test it for security issues via Linux.
How can I run it globally ?
Thank you!
Your development machine probably has IIS installed. Copy the code or the compiled code to the web root of this installation. If you want to put it on another computer, then that will need to have IIS, relevant version of .Net installed.
It would also help if you can setup your local DNS to resolve the name for your computer within the LAN setup so that you can reache the machine using a name rather than the IP.
This will allow you to test the security issues that are client side. For Server side security issues, you will need to create a server in your LAN that is configured similar to the actual server where you would be hosting your site.
You need to set up the site in IIS Server installed in your Windows machine to run it locally

You need an ASP.NET hosting service.
