ok folks, I'm standing on the ledge here.
I'm running XP pro (service pack 1) in a corporate setting with a domain
logon that has local admin rights to the machine I'm using
my machine was rebuilt yesterday with a plain XP pro Os and all the hotfixes
from MS up to service pack 1
I (an MCSD, not an MCSE) then I installed IIS 5.1, VS.net 2003 and all that
stuff and the mystery of it all is that even though I am part of the local
admins group, vs debuggers and vs developers...
I can't even do this:
I can't after creating a virtual directory on my C:\ drive and placing an
html file...access it from a local browser with
localhost/virtual_dir_name/htmlfilename.htm
what could be going on?, I've enabled all the permissions on the virtual
directory, and I've enabled anonynmous access. Nothing works!
I get an internal server error 500.
all this before I've even started to try to create a project/solution via
visual studio. I don't want to go down that road until I can see local html
pages dished out to me via my copy of IIS....
I will mention at last that internet explorer is working via a corporate
proxy server and my machine doesn't have any restrictive group policies etc
that I know of, and that I can ping localhost and I can ping the loopback
address with no problems and that the IIS service is running
any ideas what settings I should apply in order to get IIS let me see a test
page via a web browser
regards and thanks in advance
