InterDev New Project Wizzard prob ! 1

[teknophile]

When I start a new project it does not go beyond Step 1!!
It asks about the web server and I set localhost and it says it cannot find it !!!

Although I run Win2000 SP2 with IIS 5 and IE 6, Internet Explorer does functions with localhost.

If I try to access

http://localhost/test.asp

(a small asp prog that i've written) it run it properly. but for some reason InterDev CANNOT SEE the Web Server !!!

Let me know it you think of any solutions !!

kind Regards

check your security setting in IIS. run at low.

in iis right click on the web goto all. check server extensions.

I found some msg about making the _vti_bin directory (under www) executable and it fixed a similar problem for me.

Note that the localhost should appear as an option in that dialog box and that if it doesn't... that is your first problem.

teknophile, I have the same issue and it is a doozy. Have you managed to get around it? I can't see my local host in the server list on step 1. I would appreciate a helping pointer here...

I have the same problem. I cant see the "localhost" in the server list on step 1.

I have tried to solve this problem by myself. --Control Panel-->Administrative tool-->Internet Sevices manager, find Default web site and right click it-->All tasks-->Configure Server Extension! then the problem will be solved.Good luck!

Why does localhost not appear in Server-list when creating a new project?

Some program (installation of .NET?) has modified execute permissions on IIS server.
To fix: Use IIS & find the "_vti_bin" directory under "Default Web Site";
rightClick & select Properties; find the "Execute Permissions:" entry and make sure that "Scripts and Executables" is selected. Select OK. This may then open a
dialogue about inheriting this setting. If so, you want to [select all] and specify OK.
Exit IIS and retry to open a new project.
Localhost should now appear as an option for the server when you create a new project.
