Why do I require .aspx.vb files on my host account but not locally?

[meckeard]

All,

I use VS.NET 2003 and use the "copy" feature to move only the necessary files to a test folder locally.

Once I am done testing, I move these same files to my Jodo account.

But when I try to access any page, it throws an error stating that it cannot find my *.aspx.vb file. If I upload all of these files, it works fine.

I use the exact same process at work with no issues. I simply copy the bin folder, along with all my *.aspx pages from my test folder to the production server and it works fine.

So why is it different at home? Is this some server setting that causes these additional files to be present? Are there some security settings on the Jodo servers that I need to be aware of?

Thanks,
Mark

Mark,
I am using the same process and it works fine for me. All .aspx files (and the web.config file) go in /mydomain folder and DLLs go in /mydomain/bin folder.

Here is a thought: have you changed from Debug to Release before you do the build and copy? I'm not sure this would be a problem, but it could be.
