To set up your application's run parameters, choose RunParameters and set the Host Application and Run Parameters to specify the executable for the Web server and any parameters it requires when you launch it. For details about these values on your Web server, see the documentation provided by you Web server... more

Once you have debugged your application, you can convert it to one of the supported types of Web application and install it with a commercial Web server.
