| I'm having fits getting IIS to work on WinXP Pro. I go through the setup
routine without a problem. First, the default website is not running. I have
to change the port to 8080 and restart the server. Then the default site
will start. However, I still cannot access any files via browser with
http://localhost/. I get a page cannot be displayed error. When I go into
Control Panel> Admin> IIS, I get the following structure...
Internet Information Services
-- Home (local computer)
------ home
------------ IISHelp
------------ etc
------------ etc
------------ etc
I'm running WinXP Pro with all the updates
Norton AntiVirus
SQL Server 2000 Developers Edition
1) What am I doing wrong?
2) Should I be able to access files with http://localhost/ or should I use
http://home/ ?
thanks!

| Try http://127.0.0.1:8080 or http://localhost:8080 however your web
service should work on the default port 80. It you retry setting it back to
port 80, and IIS manager can connect, check to see if the W3SVC service is
running (check event viewer) if it is not it's because there is missing
information in the METABASE. When you uninstall and re-install IIS this
should correct this, but you also have to DELETE the inetsrv folder which
is located in the System32 directory, or else the same METABASE from the
previous installation will load when you re-install IIS.

| I deinstalled and deleted the contents of /inetpub and /inetsrv, then
reinstalled. I had the same results regarding the ports. I changed to:
http://localhost:8080 and it now works. However, I would like to get back to
the port 80 config. I looked for W3SVC service in Services and it was not
there. Was not in the event viewer eiether. How can I get that going again?
thanks for your help!!!

| When you look in services the service is the " world wide web publishing"
(if you right click and then choose properties you see the W3SVC) this has
to be running or you wouldn't get anything at all.
If you can pull up a page with http://localhost:8080 then the IIS
METABASE has to be valid (not corrupted). And OS support files like
dllhost.exe and svchost.exe have to be sound also. This leads back to
configuration in IIS manager for the default website using port 80. Other
than that I can't think of anything else unless you can give more
information, like event viewer errors, error page numbers in IE, and errors
in system32\logfiles\W3SVCx logs
(one other thing is when you install IIS make sure that ANTI VIRUS is
disabled).
