Sorry if this is a repeat. I think I lost the first attempt of this post.

Working with DNN 4.3.5, VS.NET 2005, SQL Server 2005 Full Version

Tried using 'publish' feature in VS.NET to no avail. To my amazement, I cannot find any useful threads or posts on this topic. I must be missing something obvious. I simply want to move my working version of DNN from my local development machine to a live server. Please help, and if you must use terms like 'gac' please explain what that is or how to do it. Thanks in advance.... awaiting posts eagerly.

Wow, thanks for the quick response. Does ftp result the same xcopy? I ask because I used ftp to uload the entire site, but I get an error that shows:

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

The thing is though, I do have it set to 'Off' as shown from my web.config below:

    <!-- set debugmode to false for running application -->
    <compilation debug="true" strict="false">
      <assemblies>...      </assemblies>
      <buildProviders>...      </buildProviders>
      <codeSubDirectories>  ...      </codeSubDirectories>
    </compilation>
    <!-- permits errors to be displayed for remote clients -->
    <customErrors mode="Off" />
