Need help configuring IIS with ASP.NET in Vista Home Basic.

Question

I have checked the following during turning on Windows features:

IIS,IIS Compatibility and under WWW I have checked .NET extensibility.I do not see an ASP.NET option to check.Will these be enough to have IIS running or am I missing something.

I do not see the IIS page when I type localhost in my browser.Please help.

Answer 1

Your version of Vista does not support ASP on IIS. You'll have to either install asp or upgrade your version of Vista to:

• Windows Vista Home Premium Edition
• Windows Vista Professional Edition
• Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

If you're trying to set up a web server you can take a look at Microsoft's Dreamspark site.

If you're a student and have the capability of proving it you can download a copy of Windows 2003 Server and use it for educational purposes.
