Localhost

John,
When you try to access the URL http://localhost, I believe it is mapped to
the contents in the folder C:\InetPub\WWWRoot . Try using
http://localhost/website and see what happens. If the latter works, you have
created a Virtual directory within the current website. If your intention it
to use http://localhost and see the contents of the website folder, you may
have to change the folder mapped to the default website to the website sub
directory.

You can also acomplish this using a redirection to the URL using code after
assigning a default document. Reply to the group if you have more questions.

Secondly, the Under Contruction comes from the default page assigned to the
Default website. This is part of the IIS setup and there is nothing wrong
with it. As long as you see the Under Construction page, IIS is up and
running.

Regards,
