I'm running Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0, and VS 2003. I have an
ASP.NET project I previously created, and went to open it back up to
make modifications. Now VS won't open http://localhost


When I try to open that location, it just goes to "My Documents"


I haven't changed anything on the machine, I made sure the VS users
group had full access to wwwroot. I ran aspnet_regiis -i to reinstall.
I tried substituting my IP address for localhost. Nothing has worked.


Help! I need to recompile some small changes in this app and the entire
team is breathing down my neck wondering why I can't open up code on
the box I terminal server into.

I'm sorry about that but I have no idea why you can't open your project :-(
Check again if your virtual directory exist.

However if you really need to recompile your ASP.NET you can use the command
line C# compiler ("csc.exe") to compile your directory as an assembly.
Use "/target:library" option.
I hope it could help and give hope to your team.

Lionel.

u should just own up and say you broke it, that will get them off your case.

First check to make sure that IIS is running. Then check inetmanager to make
sure your virtual directory is correctly mapped and registered. If it is
opening up my documents, that tells me that the virtual directory is not
mapped correctly
