Build Your First Desktop Application - Then Deploy to GoDaddy

[lrtyre]

Okay - probably because I'm a Newbie... but I've built the "Build Your First Desktop Application" deployed to a local directory (CarStoreWeb) as show below then copied all of that to my web hosting site (http://www.lakeridgesolutions.com/CarStoreWeb/app.html). The app runs but no data ever appears. Maybe a GoDaddy setting or is it just a newbie thing?

Thanks

GoDaddy won't serve up a .json file (for cars.json) - you can try changing the extension to .js or .txt

You might have to add .json to your hosting mime types.

Hope that helps

Thanks corcoranp - you hit the nail on the head.

Once I modified my web.config file on GoDaddy everything worked great. Here is what I added in <system.webServer>

<staticContent>
<remove fileExtension=".json" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".json" mimeType="application/x-javascript" />
</staticContent>

Hope this helps others.

Hello,

I had a similar issue while deploying the Sencha Touch 2.1.1 examples to GoDaddy. The pages work perfectly on localhost after modifying web.config as described in the above thread. However, when deployed on GoDaddy.com, it redirects from the home page to "touch-2.1.1/examples/index.html", which renders as a blank page. All the other examples also render as blank pages.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
