Can't publish to http://localhost/WebName...?

's Computer Specifications

Howdy,

I run FP2003...

I have a disk based web, but want to set it up as a server based web
because of the added functionality.

I checked to see that I had all components of IIS installed. I also
checked to see that the extensions are on board.

Then, I tried to publish my (disk-based) web to
http://localhost/WebName but got the error:

"Could not find a webserver at localhost on Port 80."

I get the same error when I try to create a new web on localhost.

I also tried describing the destination as http://SystemName/WebName
with the same results.

What should I try next?

Sincere thanks,

Ooops... I should add that this is a Win2K pro box.

Did you configure the extensions for the default web?

Hi Thomas,

No, I had no idea that was necessary...

Where do I look to do it?

Hi Thomas,

With regret, I have no idea what IIS "MMC" means.

Thanks again,

Hi again Thomas,

O.K. thanks...

Now, putting together you last two messages, I should go into Control
Panel | Admin Tools | Internet Information Server (IIS) and

"then right click on the web (default), then All Task, and ..."

but, beneath Admin Tools, I do not have an entry for IIS.

I definitely have IIS installed. When the installation ended, it
displayed "Installation Successful." Also, if I view Start | Settings
| Control Panel | Add Remove programs | Add Remove Windows Components
I find that IIS is checked. When I select it to view Details, I see a
list 8 items, all checked. One of them is IIS Snap-In.

I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that this Snap-In is the interface that
I should be finding in Admin Tools, but no cigar. It does not appear.

I eventually figured out your MMC suggestion (well.. sort of...) and
have added IIS to the console. I have little clue as to what should
happen next.

Might you have further suggestions?

Yes, you have access the IIS Snap-In. Have you re-booted after installing IIS?

I did re-boot, but I don't understand the rest of your comment...

In a sense I have access to the snap-in in that I can add it to the
console, but in the sense of seeing it in the Admin Tools list, no
luck.

Thanks for any further thoughts,
