Question

i Have a Asp website that uses MySql database, i want to publish it on my own PC for testing , is that possible? and do i need to combine some references with it , or what? and do i need to modify the web.config file?

Answer 1

There are two pieces of software required to run you application.

1. You need a web server that's able to serve ASP pages. Either install the full IIS, or if it's only for your own testing you can go with IIS Express (included in eg WebMatrix).

2. You need to install a MySql server to run the database. If the MySql drivers are not included in the deploy package of the site, you will need to install those separately as well.
