Visual Studio Deployment
Is it possible to deploy from visual studio? I have installed to use visual studio and it opens just like any .net web application. I can even publish the site as expect but it only deploys the site manager. The actual site is missing. I can't seem to find the actual site anywhere.

RE:Visual Studio Deployment
Hello Bryan,


There should be no issues when using Visual Studio to deploy a web site. You can see our documentation for using Built-in web server in Visual Studio for your site.

http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/web_installer_builtin_web_server_in_vs.htm

If you try removing /SiteManager from the URL, can you load your site? Or if you switch to the CMS Desk and click " Live Site", can you load your site?

Best Regards,
Edward Hillard

RE:Visual Studio Deployment
Thanks. My issue was I was deploying to a different port compared to what I was running local. I need to add the localhost alias with the new port and I can bring up the site using localhost and the new port.

Now I am trying to bring up the site using the IP address which I don't have a trial license for in my licenses. Adding this as an alias doesn't seem to work.

These are the licenses I have:
localhost
127.0.0.1

The site is published as
localhost:8450

How can I access the site using
10.0.1.20:8450

Thank you

Hello,

If you are trying to access the site on the IP address of 10.0.1.20:8450 and getting a license key error, you can generate new a new Free license key for this IP in our Client Portal, or you can email support@kentico.com for a 30-day trial key.
