  Why am I unable to run ASP.NET examples on my computer Reply Contact I have installed IIS 7 and configured it as you did in your video tutorial. When I try to run examples from your ASP.NET video tutorials, my computer gives me the message about the localhost and opens IE, but with a mesagge that it can't display this webpage. I write exactly the same code as you have in your video tutorials. Can someone explain me where is the problem?

Secondly, can you browse a basic page via localhost?

  Re: Why am I unable to run ASP.NET examples on my computer Reply Contact I must say that I am a beginner so I don't know what logs are. I was working on some other examples where I saved ASP file in a folder that I created in wwwroot and this worked. But when I'm working in Visual Studio or Visual Web Developer the program saves everything by itself. When I enter localhost in the browser I get IIS webpage but I don't know how to run the deafult page that is saved in IIS.

  Re: Why am I unable to run ASP.NET examples on my computer Reply Contact Thanks for your answer. When I was watching this video I saw that some files are missing from my wwwroot directory. I think that I have erased them by mistake when I was trying to run some examples. How can I restore these files: _vti_inf.html, postinfo.html, web.config and images folder. I have tryed to reinstall IIS but these files are still missing. Can you send me those files by mail so that I can copy them to wwwroot.

  Re: Why am I unable to run ASP.NET examples on my computer Reply Contact Hi, Those files are not necessary for you to running samples. If you really need them, you can restore them by performing the following steps: 1. Uninstall IIS 2. Uninstall WAS (Windows Process Activation Service)- WAS feature package is dependent package for the IIS feature package. 3. Reinstall IIS Leo Tang Microsoft Online Community Support Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help.

  Re: Why am I unable to run ASP.NET examples on my computer Reply Contact Thanks for your answer. When I watched this video I did as they explained in the examples and the programs worked. But I couldn't run programs directly from the Visual Studio but I copied them in the Visual Studio to the folder in wwwroot. Then I was able to run them from IIS manager. When I try to run them from Visual Studio the program gives me the message about the localhost and opens IE but with a message that webpage cannot be displayed. As considering the missing files there are for different IIS programs in the control panel. Which do I have to uninstall? Where do I find WAS? I don't see it in the list of programs in the control panel.

  Re: Why am I unable to run ASP.NET examples on my computer Reply Contact Hi, You can uninstall WAS via "Turn On or Off Windows Features"(Windows Vista) or "Server Manager->Features"(Windows Server 2008). Actually, visual Studio comes with a built-in Web development server that enables you to build and test applications without a dependency on IIS. For more detailed information, you can refer to: Web Servers in Visual Web Developer  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9d9ats98(VS.80).aspx Since you can run  them from IIS manager by coping them to wwwroot folder, this issue should not caused by IIS server.  I’d suggest you get further support on ASP.NET forum. The engineers and community members there help you in a more efficient way. Additionally, if you want to test your sites using IIS, you can refer to the walkthrough in the following article: Using Visual Studio 2008 with IIS 7.0 http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/387/using-visual-studio-2008-with-iis-70/ Leo Tang Microsoft Online Community Support Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help.

I am also not able to run examples in Visual Web Developer express edition. I also don't have Web site administration tool. Do these features come only in full versions of software?
