vs.net 2003 cannot open asp.net project when IIS port number is changed

[vhrao]

I created asp.net project with location http://localhost/proj1, which
works fine.

Now I found out that I have to change port from 80 to 8080.
I changed TCP port for deafult website from 80 to 8080 and restarted
IIS. Checked http://localhost:8080 works fine.

I tried opening my project and VS.NET 2003 cannot open my project,
gives error: Web server reported following error when attempting to
create or open the web project located at the following
URL:http://localhost/proj1; a connection with the server could not be
established.

Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem and make sure the
..net app with 8080?

If you want VS 2003 to open a project on port 8080,
you must *first* create the website on port 8080
and *then* create the project using the website's files.
