PROBLEM CONNECTING TO THE LOCALHOST THRO THE INTERDEV

[JayanthSharma]

I have Installed IIS, and the default IIS page works fine when i type

http://localhost

in the browser. But when i try to create a project from the Interdev.. by connecting to the localhost it says Unable to connect to

http://localhost

What is the reason ? Please help me.

FrontPage Server Extensions are not installed?

That is one of many possible problems.

Hello!

Try this:

1. Open IIS

2. Go to "Default Web Site"

3. Click right mouse button

4. Select Properties

5. Select "Server Extensions"

6. Mark "Enable Authoring"

7. Select a "Client scripting"

8. Click OK

Hope, it solve your problem.

Hello ppl. Sorry but this is just an opinion.

I am sick of Microsoft software. I have the same problem, there are various suggestions on Microsoft website etc. but the thing is why should any fixes be necessary? Should the software not run correctly out of the box.
Surely it would not take a genius to figure out that you would require a local computer acting as a server to test your website on. Interdev should have a means by which a simulated website could be constructed without requiring actual server software to be installed, and all ideas tried out before building the real thing. Maybe it wasnt designed for personal use. You should not need any additional software (server software) before Interdev works properly. Im so sick of it that I'm gonna ditch Interdev and look for some other standalone software that can do the job(write asp) completely without also needing this added and also needing that added...

Watching Interdev CD glide like a UFO into nearest waste basket.....
