Hi there,
I've just started to learn Asp .net. The very first problem I encountered is that I could not create a new project to write my first Asp .net web application. I have installed the Windows component - IIS; however, everytime when I tried to create a new project, I got an error message sth like "local host not found or access deny....." I don't understand what this error message means. What I want is to create a ASP project and play in local hard drive? Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much for your help and I am very appreciated!

J.

It seems that IIS services has not started. Make sure that IIS admin (www services etc) are running (thru control pannel-> Administrative tools-> services)
you can also make sure by running "//localhost" on your browser..if that is working then create a tempprorary virtual directory and run it from browser...even if it works then it is something concerned with your installation setup...
