IIS (Internet Information Services)

[randomize]

Hey guys,

I was wondwering if you guys know anything about IIS, and on how it works.

I have recently installed it on Windows 2000 Professional, and when i tried to run a page from it, or even look at the under construction page, that is set as the default, I get a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" error.

I am in the middle of re-installing it as I write this, so i shall keep you updated with any progress that i have in it.

If this does not work, then i am grateful for any ideas/suggestions that you might have, to help me solve this problem that I have.

Regards,

EDIT: AFTER RE-INSTALLING IIS, I STILL HAVE NO LUCK, SO PLEASE ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME!!!

Control Panel > Administrative Options > Internet Information Services

Check to make sure the Default Site in the left pane is Started. Right click on it to check. Also, check to make sure you are using the specified default page. IIS seems to like default.asp and default.htm more than index.html.... So that may be your problem.
