[NIRALI]

I want to learn in windows 2003 .....
(1.) How to make web server ?
(2) I have install IIS but I can not get http://localhost/localstart.asp. but can ping localhost or 127.0.0.1

Try the following...

1. Go to Start->Run->services.msc . Check if IISAdmin is running . right Click and try to restart the service .

2. find a file called hosts in your windows directory (mostly will be win~dir/systems32/ drivers/etc/ ) . open and look for the following entry

127.0.0.1 localhost

3. Are u using .net ? If so the file extensions shud be .aspx Also if u installed iis after intalling.net runtime files - u need to run a command line program called aspnet to register iis with .net .

Still not working. http://localhost/iisstart.htm
But
I have new website(good) in iis Manager home dir D:\test and give port 80.
But port 80 not work because it is use at default http://localhost/iisstart.htm
So I changed port of new website(good) 3000 so http://localhost:3000/1.htm
Then new website works.

But still http://localhost/iisstart.htm not working

I dont use .net....

Can any one help why http://localhost/iisstart.htm why not work ?

perhaps you have another server running ...like apache running on port 80 or 8080 . also try changing the port settings for IIS .
