Cannot Access Website

jd
I am trying to setup a site using the Personal Website Starter Kit available
in VS2005, I can debug my site just fine in Visual Studio.

I am also running IIS and am able to connect to my new peronal website using
http://localhost.

I have used the "Copy Website" tool to copy me website to a location on my
harddrive.

I have then set the Default Web Site's homepage in IIS to be the location
created above.

However, now when I try to get to my new website using http://localhost I
get:

"Directory Listing Denied"

So I added a new default document in IIS for the Default Website of
"Default.aspx" but now when I try to connect to http://localhost I get:

"Server Application Unavailable"

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

TIA

Did you set this as the root of your IIS or a Virtual Directory under it?

If the folder is in MyDocument, it is more then likely a permissions issue,
which it may be no matter where you put it.

I just changed the Home Directory of the "Default Web Site" that is created
when IIS is installed. I don't understand what you mean by the root of IIS
itself.
If the folder is in MyDocument, it is more then likely a permissions
issue,
which it may be no matter where you put it.


Yes it was in a sub-folder of My Documents so I moved it to C:\Inetpub where
the working default website was and I still get the same problem.

As you can tell, I'm not at all experienced with IIS... are you able to help
me further?

Thanks very much!

I eventually tried "aspnet-regiis -i" and this sorted the problem.

Is this because you cannot install VS2005 *before* IIS?

Thanks
