Visual Studio Error When creating a New Project

[Gummy]

Hello All,

I know this has been posted many times, but I cannot seem to find the
solution in all the many, many, searches I've done.

Whenever I try and create a new project I get the error:
'http://localhost/webapplication1.' 'HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error.'

Here's what I've done so far:

Have Windows 2000 Professional.
Installed IIS
Installed .NET (v1.1.4322)
IP Address is set to (All Unassigned)
Uninstalled and reinstalled IIS and ran \aspnet_regiis.exe -i
Changed machine.config user = "System"
Tried with Frontpage Extensions installed and uninstalled
I am on a network at work.

This had worked on this machine at one time. But my hard drive crashed and I
am now reinstalling everything.

I hope this is enough information to help you help me.

Thanks so much.

-Rob

Do not call your sub web "website.com" call it website.com2. Just don't end
it in .com. took me 2 months a while back to solve that one.

Thanks for the info. But I'm not sure where I am doing that.

what name are you giving the "webapplication" when you create the project?

 

[Gummy]

I'm not giving it any name. I am leaving the default.

For example, I open Visual Studio, click New Project, select ASP.NET Web
Application. It gives me the default of http://localhost/WebApplication1

I then click OK and then get the error.

I just tried doing that. But when I reopen IE, the check box is checked
again. I think my company has does something to IE.
