porting a web application from one to another machine

Question

I need porting a web application from a machine (windows server 2000) to another (windows server 2003 standard edition). Can I just copy it from the first machine and paste it to the second one? Thanks. I found there is a treeview bug after porting.

Thanks Mahesh. I found that it really needs a third party dll. The original developer didn't memtion it.

Thanks Ryan. Do you know the best way to do it?

Thanks Mahesh. It is really development machine. I copied the project folder from windows server 2000 machine to the windows server 2003 standard machine. I use .NET to open the project and build it. It is OK. When I run it everything is OK except treeview. This project is a web server. The page is created by asp.net. some sample is shown below ( the format is not same as my original one): DefaultStyle=font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;color:cc0033; Width=168px ShowPlus=False CssClass=Menu runat=server Height=118px SelectedNodeIndex=0 Visible=False> Target=main>

It depends. Is this a development machine or production? If its a development machine you probably can copy everything from one machine to another and open in a tool like Visual Studio and should be able to build it. Question is - Does the application needs some third party controls or DLLs or has any more dependencies? Also what is the application written in? Simple HTML or ASP.NET or what? Need more details.

I don't believe a simple copy and paste will work.
