Add a line in your hosts file which represents the name of your domain, but point to your local host (127.0.0.1). More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file

Yes you should be able to do that.

Make sure you add your ASP.Net source to the "Default" website and that port 80 is not blocked by any firewalls.

From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772350(WS.10).aspx

During IIS 7 installation, a default Web site configuration is created in the \Inetpub\Wwwroot directory on your Web server. You can either use this default directory to publish your Web content, or create a directory at a file system location of your choice.

My thing is that I got 2 sites and can not put both in the default. I will check the firewall to open the port tho.

What i do in that situation is to add new sites as new applications under the default website. ASP.Net has a nice way of virtualizing the application root so http://localhost/example.com/ can be your test root but can be deployed to http://example.com/ without any changes to the code.

thanks for the link. I just forgot to add the portit was like http://111.MYIP:PORT/default.aspx

Nice. Do you add new sites or virtual directory in the default site?

Dejan.S 2010-02-11 12:48:07

virtual directories, or more specifically new application folders in the default site.
