I have some ASPX pages that I would like to display by browsing to http://localhost/, but whenever I do, all I get is MS's 404 "Webpage cannot
be found" page.
I have IIS configured so that it uses "C:\Inetpub\www root" as the Local Path
under the Home Directory, and I have tried using different default webpages
(index.htm, Default.aspx, index.asp) but nothing works.
Where can I find how to get IIS running on my local machine so that I can
view my websites?
ASP.NET 2.0.50727 3  2138 
If you are getting 404, IIS is running.
The default page for IIS on XP is localstart.asp: http://localhost/localstart.asp
As for your own pages, just set one down there and then make sure IIS is
configured to use that page as your new default. I tend to stick with
default.aspx, as it is fairly standard, as far as usage.
Does this help?

What operating system are you using? By default IIS installs and configures
itself at the path you indicated so --you-- do not need to "configure IIS in
that context. Finally, go to your My Computer, open it and and tell me what
the computer name is.

Well, I *think* IIS is "configured to use that page as my new default", but
it still pulls up Microsoft's Page Not Found when I type it into the address
bar in IE7.
How do I make sure IIS is configured the right way?
