I have to upload a Dotnetnuke website which requires ASP.NET 2.0 to a Windows server that may not have ASP.NET 2.0 on it. The company that owns the server doesn't know how to use it, so I won't know until I get there 
The server currently holds a current version of their website and a proprietary software package that handles client management for a debt-collection firm. If I have to install ASP.NET 2.0 to get the new website working, could it interfere with existing software? Does the server keep the old framework as well, or is ASP.NET 2.0 backward compatible with the previous?
I asked this question on Yahoo Answers earlier this morning before I thought better and came here - one of the answers was "Not good to load direct to Server. Nasty bad, terrible things happen." What is this guy referring to - uploading the website? Uploading ASP.NET 2.0 framework? Something else?
If I didn't phrase everything correctly, bear with me. I am pretty new at the server stuff and was thrust into this by my boss who doesn't seem to mind that I have no clue - so I'm just trying to get this project done and minimize collateral damage  |
