I am have the same problem "create a new project in visualindev using" 1

[rmhogan]

I am having a similar problem. I receive the same error message when attempting to create a project, "Unable to contact Server". I have iis 4.0 installed and well as Front Page 2000 extensions.

Could there be an issue in having FrantPage2000 extesion installed instead of FrontPage98??

The server is up and running, I also have read/write permissions.

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.)
