You must check if the (local) webserver is running oke.
First go to 'Services' and check if the

http://WWWPublishing

service is running oke.
If yes, you start the ISS Manager. (You should see your side running). Select the 'Default Web Side' and click right mouse button. Choose All tasks | Check Server Extentions.

I am having a similar problem. I receive the error when attempting to create a project. I have IIS 4.0 running with FrontOffice extensions. Still no luck.

The web is up and running. I have read/write permissions.

I have run out of ideas.

Please help!!!!

Once PWS/ISS installed, needs to configure Server Extensions.

Extend a Virtual Server with the FrontPage Server Extensions
After you have created a virtual server, you can extend it with the FrontPage Server Extensions, which make the virtual server a root web. Before you can extend a virtual server, the server extensions need to have already been installed on the server computer.

To extend a virtual server with the FrontPage Server Extensions Do the following steps:

From Programs/Administrative Tools
Select Server Extension Administrator

1.In the Console tree, right-click the virtual server that you want to extend.
2.Click Task on the shortcut menu, and then click Configure Server Extensions.

If the Web server is not IIS 4.0 or later, click New on the shortcut menu, and then click Web.

3.Follow the steps in the Server Extensions Configuration Wizard.
Note

You need to extend a virtual server — that is, make it a root web — before you can create subwebs below it.

*Visual Interdev 6*

Now try creating a new web project- give your computer name (i.e.localhost) as web server.

(Yes..I got it now..!)

(If the FrontPage Server Extensions are installed on your computer, you can also access the FrontPage Server Extensions Resource Kit, which is by default installed at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\40\Serk\nnnn\default.htm. The \nnnn folder has a numerical name based on the language in which you installed the FrontPage Server Extensions. For example, in a US English installation, the path is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\40\Serk\1033\default.htm.)
