Cannot open web project 'A connection with the server could not be established'

[Assimalyst]

Hi,

I have been developing a web project for some time now, and connection
to the server has been fine. This morning I tried opening the project
as usual but it returned the following error:

The web server reported the following error when attempting to create
or open the web project located a the following URL:
'http://localhost/YLCPDTdb'. A connection with the server could not be
established.

As far as i know i have not changed any settings. All i can think of is
that i connected enterprise manager to a server on discountasp.net as i
am in the process of deploying the application online. Could this have
messed up some settings on my local machine?

I am still able to connect through enterprise manager, query analyser
and IIS 5.1 is connected on port 80.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I have tried a few fixes:

Disabled firewall
run aspnet_regiis /i and restarted
Bypassed proxy server for local addresses in VS.NET LAN settings.

Still no go!???

Any more ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

This NG is for compact framework ( PocketPC ) issues, not for asp.net

it seems that the IIS server is down, restart it , check the IIS console ,
or do a telnet localhost 80
check for any firewall also

My appologies for posting in the incorrect NG.

Thank you for you response.
