Hello I have created a Wsp for List definition and I want to install list definition to a particular site collection. So when deploying the package I use following command where url is passed as parameter (http://localhost:portnumber) stsadm -o deploysolution -name %solutionName%.wsp -immediate -allowgacdeployment -allowCasPolicies -url %url% -force but it gives me a error saying This solution contains no resources scoped for a Web application and cannot be deployed to a particular Web application. I have searched google and the workaround was to remove url part from above command, when I do that it works fine, but its installs globally, which I want to avoid. I want it to be installed on a perticulart site collection. I tried deploying package through central admin but here It says solution Deploys globally How to deploy list definition it to a particular site collection?

Hi, Add the safe control entry in solution.xml as follows: By adding this safecontrol entry , you are actually telling sharepoint to which web.config file to merge the <safecontrol> elements and therefore -url parameter must be specified. PLEASE NOTE: If your solution does not have an assembly or if your solution contains workflows, then you cannot specify the <var>url</var> parameter. < Assemblies> Assembly Location="Some.dll" DeploymentTarget="GlobalAssemblyCache"> SafeControls> SafeControl Assembly="Some, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c53741f4baf9bc23" Namespace="SomeNamespace" TypeName="*" Safe="True" /> </ SafeControls> </ Assembly> Regards, < < < thanks for reply , regards manish
