VWD Express beta 2 IIS problem

Hi,

i created a website which runs under a "File System" location and hence with the aps.net web server on a random port. Works all fine but now i want to host the site with the IIS. So i tried to create a website under the "http" path, something like 'http://localhost/blabla'. I didn't changed something on the default generated stuff, just compiled and run it. I got the error "Unable to start debugging on the web server. The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.".

Ok, no problem i thought, disabled debugging in the web.config and run it again. The IE pops up and showed me a "Cannot find server" error, no asp.net stuff. Even if i try it from IE itself with 'http://localhost/website/default.aspx', always that error. Other custom sites (normal html sites) are working correctly. What i doing wrong

Win xp prof sp 2 - IIS 5.1
Visual Web Developer Express beta 2
.NET 2.0.50110

Thanks

If you installed IIS5.1 after Visual Web Developer then reinstalling / repairing Visual Web Developer will also fix your problem. I experienced the same problem, you described. After reinstallation everything worked fine.

Goodluck,

Did you install IIS after installing .NET 2.0 If so, try to run the following command from the framework directory:

aspnet_regiis - i

Hope that helps.
