[AccessD] ASP - getting started

Create a folder under wwwroot call it test. Set the properties of the folder for web sharing. Create a simple file called index.html with a few words in it.

try

http://localhost/test/index.html

  Ok - I see the 'Home directory' specifies c:\inetpub\wwwroot and the 'Document' tab shows a list of 3 files with Default.htm at the top - so if it uses the top one then that solves the question of where it gets the file name from.

  Anyone know why I get 'Page not found' when I point my browser to http://localhost/iisHelp/  to try to learn this stuff?

  And why I can't use http://localhost ?

    You need to use the IIS Manager.  Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> IIS Manager.   

    Right click your website to bring up its properties, and somewhere in there you can list the page types/names that you want as your defaults.

    Cheers,

        Kath,

        Try http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1

        Learning something new....hoping someone can point me in the right
        direction....
        I want to create some ASP files.

        I am using Windows 2000 and have installed IIS on my office PC which has a
        workgroup network so that I can hook up the laptop to this PC. Under 'My
        computer', Properties, the computer name is 'OfficePC'.

        I notice that installing IIS has created an innetpub folder on the C drive
        with a number of subfolders.

        I was under the impression that by default, having installed IIS, if you
        enter an address such as http://officepc/ into a browser it should open a
        file called default.htm in the C:\inetpub\wwwroot folder. But when I do that
        I get 'page cannot be displayed'. (there is a default.htm in that folder).

        Have I missed something on the installation or ???

        TIA
