Hi y'all,
Another issue now: my app is working on my localhost, but when I do a "Copy Web Site" to our Dev server, it complains about my SiteMapProvider:
Configuration Error

My custom SiteMapProvider is in /App_Code/FolderSiteMapProvider.vb, and from what I've been able to tell of the requirements for the "type" attribute, I shouldn't need to specify that name further (though I've tried, with no success).
Known differences between my localhost and the Dev box:
- Dev is a Windows 2003 Server, localhost is XP Pro.
- Inetpub is on D: on Dev, C: on localhost (though I can find no drive letter references anywhere in the code, config files, or DB)
- I have never gotten this site to come up on Dev previously, even predating implementation of the SiteMapProvider, so there could be an IIS setup issue.
Thanks for any help!
