I have installed Windows 7 freshly in VMware as Homegroup. Turned off Firewall , no Antivirus installed yet, windows Defender turned off.
yet localhost does not show in browser. Instead it shows 'HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found'.
I have enabled the 'Windows Features'
IIS / Web Management console and ISAPI Extensions , ISAPI Filters
I have checked that IIS is working because if I stop IIS it says 'This Site can's be reached'
Well I had not marked the upper level boxes in Windows Features eg: IIS line on LHS box to be clicked into.
now it is fine

I have installed IIS 7 in my PC which runs windows 7. When I and type http://localhost:8080 I am not getting the IIS home page. I tried in IE, Google Chrome and mozilla firefox. In all the browsers I am getting a page 404 error. I don't know what to do.
I have tried the following steps for resolution:
Removed the # symbol from the host file under the system 32 directory
Stopped and restarted the IIS
When I type inetmgr in the run command, the IIS window opens up but I am not getting the default website node.
When I navigate to c:\windows\inetpub\wwwroot, I am not able to see the default website directory.
That's because when you install IIS on your machine it doesn't listen on 8080, it listens on 80
edit
The default site is located in c:\inetpub\wwwroot, never in the windows directory
i have Xampp installed on our Windows 7, and i have been having a problem after changing my os from server 2008 to win 7. My HTTP:// the website works fine, but the HTTPS:// website becomes unresponsive randomly many times in day. It doesn’t load an error page, it just continuously try’s to load the page, then it times out. In Xampp control panel, it doesn’t show any errors, and it says that apache is still running. However, when i stop the Apache and start it back up, the HTTPS:// fixed. What could be going on here? I am using default config.
I want to enable a localhost on Windows 7 to be able to build websites with Chrome without a distant server. I would like to not install anything, and be able to, for example, navigate to http://localhost/something/somethingElse/index.html.
Anyone knows how?
In order to activate localhost server on Windows 7 navigate to:
-> Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off
Then search for Internet Information Services and check its checkbox.
Wait for Windows to make the changes, no need for immediate restart, the server will be enabled.
You can now navigate to
127.0.0.1
or
http://localhost
There is a simple chrome extension "200 OK". Which runs a web server on localhost.
Custom port settings
Choose your project folder and start the server
Im developing a website using VS2008 on Windows 7. I am running a VM with IE6 on it and want to test that the site works ok on IE6. On the VM IE6 browser I type http://192.168.0.100/default.aspx since my router gave the windows host that ip address but the browser errors with : Cannot find server or DNS Error
I can ping the host though through a command window.
Could this be a firewall issue on Windows7 and how can I open it up to allow VM browsing of the host website?
The most dangerouse but simplest way to test this theory:
Open the "Network and Sharing Center". If you look at the left panel at the button there should be a "Windows Firewall" under the "See also" section.
On the left again there should now appear a "Turn Windows Firewall on or off"
So you can now quickly test and see if it is in fact your firewall blocking it.
I would not keep the firewall off, and would consider plugging out the network cable before I do this.
Hope it helps

Has anyone encountered the following problem: I have IIS7 running on my computer. On that same computer, I open IE7 and the website works (http://localhost/web.site/Default.aspx). Put that same url in Firefox 3 and I get the welcome screen of IIS7, a big image with IIS7 in the middle and 'Welcome' in several different languages. Clicking on the image leads you to http://www.iis.net/.
One browser accesses your server via 127.0.0.1, and another via your external IP.
Make sure virtualhost works with all network interfaces.
Perhaps your browsers have different locals set , only guessing as I have not used IIS7
Strange. That happened to me this morning (April 9, 2009), but the other way around. I was trying to get to Dell.ca. IE7 brought me to that IIS7 Welcome screen and Firefox brought me to the correct site. Happened 3 times before it corrected itself.
I do not have IIS anywhere on my network and my default home page is Google, which came up without a problem. The redirection occurred when I typed the new URL. I wonder if Dell is using IIS7...
