Re: IIS on XP Pro - testing server wont display basic html file in wwwroot...???

[€urorunner]

Copied my query from google where im not having any luck:

Running IIS 5.1 on XP Pro - default installation from XP CD-ROM
Trying to set it up as a testing server for my website but
encountering the following problem:


The IIS service is running.
The Default website is running.
I created a simple html file and placed it in the wwwroot directory.
Then entered the following into address prompt in IE:
http://localhost/helloworld.html

A popup asks me if i want to connect to the internet - I click 'no' -
& get the standard 'page not found' error.


_______________
Now, i did have one other issue which i think is no longer the problem
but must menion it nevertheless:

Was getting the following error: unexpected error at 0x8ffe2740 -
looked it up on google and found that there was something else running
on port 80 (adsgone.exe) & i then stopped this application.
_______________

Further to my initial post, i have reviewed previous posts on google
and found one which i think may be similar but the thread is left
unresolved. Anyway, the guy was asked to run wfetch.exe as part of
the troubleshooting process ...so i have done same ...with the same
results:



started....
resolve hostname "localhost"WWWConnect::Connect
("127.0.0.1","80")\n
0x2742 (A socket operation encountered a dead network.):
socket()
finished.


I'm starting to tear my hair out now..

update as follows...


Been messing around with this and clearly i dont know what im dealing
with (yet) but now when i run wfetch i get the following:

resolve hostname "localhost"
WWWConnect::connect(127.0.0.1:80)\n
source port 1334\r\n
REQUEST:**********\n
RESPONSE:*********\n

Welcome to SysOpt :t

now, re: IIS

Ok the first thing you mention re:

A popup asks me if i want to connect to the internet - I click 'no' -
& get the standard 'page not found' error.

next time say yes

either way after that it should reach local host that page

or you can maybe try http://127.0.0.1/helloworld.html

yes it's the same as Localhost, but you never know what crazy stuff windows can pull out of the hat :)

anways if that doesn't work, then there's something seriously wrong

Like you said, yes that error message is rather Pertinent

seems like you already have something running in Port 80

so you must first uninstall that software , specially when you don't even know what it is

try that first, and let us know how it went

Hi Allgamer,

thanks for responding so quickly.

"next time say yes"
Did this but it still goes to page not found.


"or you can maybe try http://127.0.0.1/helloworld.html"

Have tried this...no joy..page not found

"Like you said, yes that error message is rather Pertinent

seems like you already have something running in Port 80"

I did initially have a problem with software running on port 80 (adsgone popup software) - but i uninstalled this..i reckon this was a seperate problem.


If you think of anything else, dont hesitate to post. I'm losing my hair very quickly with this
:(

[AllGamer]

have you rebooted the PC after the Uninstall?

do you also have ISA server running?

just run NETSTAT -a -n

and see if there's anything still using Port 80

after the reboot

:t

[€urorunner]

Allgamer - you've saved the day! :D

I rebooted and when i went back in, it was all good. Have been loyal to a couple of other forums but sounds like i should stick round sysopt a bit more now...first impressions are **** good!

AG get's lucky now and then. :p We have more great networking talent here in omendata, rraehal and (tada!) Midknyte.

Thanks for shopping at SysOpt! :t

[AllGamer]

what do you mean lucky?

Midknyte. only monitor this forum for the most part, i go all over the site :p

and i like to Extent my postings to gather more date, before i give out the answer ;)

i like to research more, the trouble is most people only post the question and never comes back, or never answer what you asked :D

:t

[BipolarBill]

Sensitive, ain't we? Read my post again and look for the word more.

[AllGamer]

lol :p i guess i'm still human after all :D

some how the first time i read it, somehow that line came up as "better talent than..."

anyways, my bad.

re: hovering in networking, Ome already took pray of some message before i even had the chance to read them :r

[omendata]

Sorry me no speekee gibberish Allg.
You really can torture the English language or is your keyboard Kanji?

Can you translate?
:p

And I do post in other threads that interest me and three other forums when I have time - Id rather be good at one thing than a jack of all trades!!! Meeeeeeow
:-@
:D

Yeah hate it when people just come in to get a fix and dont even have the courtesy of a response or a thank you!
