    Just getting started

    I am trying to just set up a local site to learn some ASP.NET

    I am running Vista Business and I  turned on IIS.  I set up a virtual directory and went to the directory where I have index.html to set the path.  I also went to default web site > manage web site> advanced settings and changed the physical path. 

     When I type in http://localhost  I simply get a blank page rather than the page(just text and a title) I created and named index.html

     Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  I just installed VB 2008 Express and the default SQL Server, but I don't think that should affect the web site behavior.

     Thanks!

    I did not realize this forum was for IIS 5 & 6.  I'll re-post in IIS 7.

    I tried the steps in the article, but still nothing :(

    If you are a VB Programmer get Visual Studio 2008 nstalled its another great tool developed by MS and you could easily published your website by selecting publish webiste from Build menu option.

    sure when you select that, publish web site dialog box will appear then just click on the grey square icon that helps to give the path where you would like to publish your site.

     

    Thank you,

    Have you installed the "static content" feature under IIS?  If so, what is the output of following from an elevated command prompt

    %windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe list config "Default Web Site" -section:system.webServer/handlers

    %windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe list config "Default Web Site" -section:system.webServer/modules
