Configuring your system (ASP.NET)

Configuring your system (ASP.NET)

This section provides instructions for two common system configurations: one in which Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional is installed on your hard disk, and one in which Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional is installed on a remote computer. If you want to use a different configuration, see Setting Up a Web Application in Using Dreamweaver.

The following illustration shows the two configurations described in this section:

This image shows the components of the following configurations: a local configuration for Windows 2000 or XP users, and a remote server configuration for Macintosh and other Windows users.

To configure your system:

Make sure you have a web server (see Checking for a web server).
Install the .NET Framework (see Installing the .NET Framework).
Create a root folder (see Creating a root folder).

NOTE

Installing the web server and the .NET Framework are one-time-only tasks.
