Proplem opening ASP.NET Application

88
Hi,

Myself and another developer just started creating a website for work in ASP.net. If we open it from Visual Web Developer we can see it fine but we both get a different number after the http://localhost:

For example: I might get http://localhost:2539/New%Website/ while she gets
http://localhost:4335/New%Website/

I want to be able to have a set address that I can give our project manager so that he can pull up the website and track our progress. I am very new to IIS and working with a web server so I don't know if I just havn't done something right. I didn't want to mess with anything on the server really because there was already a default web site set up. If we type in http://localhost/ we get a message that there has not been a default web page set up for the site yet and that all users are getting an under construction page.

Another thing, there are other files in the wwwroot directory that employees use such as checklists and stuff so I don't want to do anything that will make them unable to access these.

I've been reading around, do I need to give this folder it's own IP address?

When you are using Visual Studio (or Visual Web Developer), it comes with it's own "Web Server". It's packaged with a development platform that works "like" the IIS so that you are able to develop your web software anywhere.

The number after the http://localhost/ is the port that the development environment is running on.

You are going to have to Publish your web application to the web server for other people to see it.

Thanks Frinny,

I figured out what it was. There was already a default website set up in IIS from an old developer. We have to type in the name of that website instead of localhost and then it works.
