I am running Vista Ultimate and cannot get IIS to work. I just want to view some simple ASP and HTML websites I have made. I do not know if I have the right applications turned on, or whatever. I basically know nothing. It seems very complicated compared to
XP's IIS. Please help.
I'm not sure what you are looking for then. A step by step guide on which options to install? These article has a few pictures showing how to access the Add features wizard.
Make sure you have the anonymous authentication module enabled. This is in the IIS Manager under IIS > Authentication. Also, make sure to turn off HTTP Friendly errors and post any error messages you get.
Holy crap suddenly it works out of nowhere. I made no changes at all. And localhost works. Thanks for your help, but I feel silly now that its suddenly working.
You can't make edits here? ok. Anyway, I have multiple sites set up on different ports, which is a huge improvement over IIS6, however, is there a way to set them up on local URLs, so I don't have to memorize with site goes with which port?
What I did was create multiple websites using host-headers. Each host-headered site contained an entry in my hosts file resolving to 127.0.0.1. I even turn off the Default website and just create my own custom sites. Using this method, you can run all
your sites on port 80.

I already have it installed. My problem is I have three folders in inetpub and I cannot get any of them to show up on http://localhost
That is my problem. I want to see the dang site(s) and I can't. I cannot break the problem down any simpler than that.
