IIS not working?

chunter

I'm trying to get the XP Pro testing server working but it's not happening.

1. I've the Add /remove programs windows components and installed the IIS.

2. inetinfo is running

3. computer name is NODE02. can't get it find the default asp page in the inetpub/wwwroot directory.

4. running tcp/ip. network present, but this a 1 pc operation

5. i did this about 18 months ago on same pc, it was fairly straightforward

does http://localhost/localstart.asp work?

What about the security settings on the directory? Also have you checked the version of ASP.NET it is set to use?

Are you typing http://localhost/default.asp? , or just http://localhost
If the later it could be that "default.asp" hasn't been setup within "Documents" in IIS.

Could check the Event Viewer, see if anything is being logged.
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer

"Default website (stopped)" seems to be big clue.
Tried starting it, timed out
