IIS-//http/localhost problem

your url syntax looks incorrect. try this: http://localhost/

The browser message is The page cannot be displayed. I don't thing that my problem is sintax error

the url syntax you pasted in your question is definitely wrong. try clicking on the link in my response above and then tell me what message you get.

I just type http://localhost 

the message is The page cannot be displayed

create a text file: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.asp

inside this file, type the following:

<%
Response.Write "Asp is working!"
%>

then click this link or type in address bar: http://localhost/test.asp

. . .if you still get the broken page, go into your windows services and ensure that World Wide Web Publishing service and IIS Admin service are both running.

I checked Windows services:

IIS admin service, status started
World Wide Web Publishing, status started

I created c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.asp
I typed in address bar http://localhost/test.asp

the same message The page cannot be displayed

copy/paste the entire contents of the error page and let me see.

The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer  

Can you get to your site by your IP address?
http://1.2.3.4
(That is not your IP)
Do you have any luck when you try: http://127.0.0.1

If you can, check your hosts file in C:\Winnt\System32\drivers\etc
Open the hosts file with notepad and make sure you have an entry:
127.0.0.1       localhost

this my host file content:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost


You can see the entry exists.

your IIS may be corrupted. try reinstalling it by removing it first, then install from windows cd.

IIS getting corrupted is not all that uncommon. it has happened to me probably 3 times in the past 5 years.

Check permissions for your wwroot directory.  Open My Computer, go to inetpub, wwwroot.  Go to properties of the wwwroot directory.  Ensure IUSR_MachineName (the name of your computer) has read/list permissions.

SweatCoder:

I reinstalled IIS, but the problem still here.

Sevnn:

I checked and everything is ok

df, i can spare you five minutes to do a webex if you have high-speed internet and if you're interested. with webex i can see your desktop and control your mouse, and maybe i can see what's going on. if you're interested, email me at:

ee[AT]builderdash[dotcom].

SweatCoder:

Ok I'll write you

SweatCoder:

I found the problem, you got reason - port 80 is closed or disabled on your machine.

I uninstalled Mcafee (Antivirus, Personal firewall, Privace Service) after that i can access //http/localhost

Thank you very much for your support.
