Please excuse my ignorance...just started using IIS on Win2003 Server. I've set up a website but whenever I try to acess is with my browser I get "Not found" error. Tried to set up the name in DNS Server, not sure I did it right (yes, I'm new to that too.)

hello
yazalami... the host header name that you are configer
in wezard of iis ,must be the same record in the dns zone
example:
if you have azone in you'r dns called jordan.com
and , if you want that in the IE of the user type
jordan.com., then
1-don't configure anythink in the host headename in iis
2-create A record in jordan.com zone that must be the
same ip address that you'r point with the jordan.com in
iis ,
this will work fine ..ya 7abebi

Hello,

Create an HTML-file, and save it as test.htm in the wwwroot folder. Then go
to:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://localhost/test.htm" target="_blank">http://localhost/test.htm</a>
on your server. Does this work?

We need more details. Where are you trying to access it from, the
server or a workstation? And what are you typing in the browser?
Post the full error message too. Also, try:

Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings ->
Uncheck everything.

HI

I know several site builders who transfer the files off a CD ( read only attributes ), Or simply forgot to check the rights and attributes of the folders and child Objects. In what ever you are using to build the site make sure you recalculate the links and confirm - verify any redirects and data sources.

in IE you can go to the menu bar and select file open, browse to your default page and it should open if all of the above is correct. The remarks preceeding mine are true. I hope you remembered to create your source file and default page in IIS
