I'm having an issue with my pages not being found when I attempt to view in browser the page I'm working with. Any idea as to the problem? I have the project folder within the Inetpub folder (IIS5).

couple of questions to try to establish if everything is set up ok...


1. Is ythe root of your site in the wwwroot folder within your inetpub directory?
2. Have you configured a site in dreamweaver?
3. to view the page, are you pressing F12 in dreamweaver or are you actually browsing to localthost/yourpagename.asp

personal firewalls such as Norton Internet Security, also prevent IIS from showing pages unless they are configured properly.
even if you disable them, they still block ports

if you can see the file in the wwwroot folder, and you know for certain it should display, then this is the most likely cause.

if you are using a personal firewall, create a rule for IIS by modifying its permissions, and give any computer aceess to TCP on local port:80

I was Previewing in Browser via the File menu. I tried F12 and it didn't work either.

The Computor I'm working on isn't connected to the web so I unistaled the firewall. Could the port still be blocked? IF so, how to I set them to normal again?

Also, I have set up a project site within the wwwroot folder.

In IIS, under properties when right clicking on the default site, is the local path on the home directory tab showing c:/inetpub/wwwroot/ or does it have your project folder on the end?

If your project folder is on the end then typing localhost/nameofdoc.asp should work. if not, you will need to type localhost/projectfoldername/nameofdoc.asp or change the local path to your project folder

if the firewall is uninstalled then any blocked ports will be opened again.

i suggest you go into your control panel > administartive tools > IIS

and find the page called iisstart.asp and give it a right click and browse.

if you get a 404 error on this then your IIS is not working, and may need a re-install of it off your windows disk.

but try that page first, that will save you heaps of time trying to figure out a problem exists, if the IIS isnt functioning. If the page shows ok, then do what Vince suggested.
