First time user that can't find answer. Need online website.

HI! Thank you for even looking at this question.

I need to get a website up and running for a small group of people. I've had SQL Server for a while, but didn't have any use for it. It came with Visual Studio 2005, which gave me a little know how on scripting. Now, I have Visual Web Developer and what I need to make a web page. I just need to know how to configure all my settings to allow my website to be viewed online by anyone with an internet connection. I'm a person that understands detailed or simple directions, but I can not seem to find directions online. Now, I know what your thinking, but I've never attemped anything like this before. So, please, HELP! I need and want to learn as much as possible.

Thank you, tecfreak213

P.S. also, how do I change or get a web address? Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome to Forum.

You will require a Web Server (Internet Information Server ), A dedicated Internet connection, SQL Server, IP Address to bind to web server, Domain Name

Setup SQL Server with Database

Setup IIS Server (with Internet Connection and dedicated IP address bind to that, refer below article on how to setup IIS)

Create Directory on the IIS Server and deploy you web application in it

Bind you Directory to IIS

First Time Installing - Can't Find BIDS

Thank you to all that take the time to read this!

All software is installed on a single development pc.I have a SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition Database that I am using to test a new Accounting System.SQL Server 2000 is the required format.I would like to start developing some SRSS reports against that database.It was suggested that I install the SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services, because I was told 2005 is less buggy and easier to use.I installed SRSS 2005, and only SRSS 2005, and used the Configuration Tool to get it configured properly, I think. I have green checks on everything except "Email Settings" and "Execution Account"

Now, I want to write some reports.BIDS is not under the "Microsoft SQL Server 2005" program group, only "Configuration Tools".I was also told that I could use Visual Studio to write reports.I installed Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition.When I go start a new project, "Business Intelligence” is not a project type or sub-type.

What do I need to do so I can either install BIDS or use VS 2005 to write reports?

If you open Visual Studio 2005 and create a new project, do you see 'Business Intelligence Projects' as an available project type?

BIDS is part of the SQL Server 2005 Workstation components and development tools - you'll need to go back and install that option in the installer.

Installing BIDS includes the SSRS support in Visual Studio. (BIDS actually is Visual Studio, just with little/no programming language support by default.)
