[AccessD] ASP - getting started

BerichtThanks Erwin. OK - the ping localhost worked.

I turned off proxy server (by going into IE, Tools, INternet Options, Connections, Lan Settings.)

THere are 2 options there: 1) Use a proxy server, and 2) Bypasss proxy server fopr local addresses.

I tried turning off 'Use a proxy server', clicked OK and then in IE when I am trying to enter the address of localhost the IE sessions just closes automatically. (Tried this a couple of times). And when I reopen IE the setting 'Use a proxy server' has been turned back on. (And I never go to see if localhost worked with the setting off).

Then I tried turning on the option 'Bypass proxy server for local addresses', clicked OK and entered http:\\localhost and for the first time IT WORKED!! But then the IE sessions closed on me and when I reopen IE the setting has been turned off again.

  did you check the hosts file?

  To check if you have a good entry try to ping localhost from a command prompt.
  If that does not work, you have not or incorrectly added the localhost entry in your hosts file.

  If pinging does work, and http://localhost not, you probably using a proxy server. Turn it off and try again.

    No luck with Ctrl+F5. And I have reinstalled - no change. I have also restarted the machine since editing the hosts file and still no change.

    I'm going to make do with 127.0.0.1 for now until I nut out the prob with localhost.
    THanks

      <CTRL> <F5>

      I reckon its time to remove and reinstall IIS though.

      You can do it through Add/Remove programs.

      Cheers,
      Andrew

        Kath;

        You might try a Shift Refresh, but there's another keystroke combination that's worked for me before, but I can't recall it now -- once I named my computer I stopped having the problem. Maybe someone else will know the combination?

          Thanks Erwin - I am learning from all of you but still no luck with getting locahost to work. 

          Now that I know to use 127.0.0.1 at least I can get into the help and will read through there...using http://127.0.0.1/iishelp
