Need a web server for HTML programing

internet information server. depends on your OS, it should be in add/remove programs, windows setup.

Hi

If your files are pure HTML then you don't need a web server you can just open them up in a browser, however if they are ASP pages then you will need a webserver, what OS system are you usig

I have Windows XP. I wrote .asp pages as well.

There is IIS selected in the Windows Components.
 I installed it, 15,9MB

...and now there is "Internet service Manager" in your administrative tools, where you can create pages.
use help provided with iis to start.

Ok you then should have a folder c:\inetpub\wwwroot

To test

Create a new test.asp file pop in this code

<%
response.write "Hello World"
%>

save it to  c:\inetpub\wwwroot

then call http://localhost/test.asp

if you see Hello World

then you should be up & running

cheers

Normally, when I enter http://localhost in the Internet Explorer, I should be able to open a site.
But in that case a window is popping up requesting user name and password for the Enterprise Server.
I enter the name and pswd for our proxy and then I see a page from our company.
The address localhost will be converted to:
http://localhost/cgi/x_gen_menu

How can I start the web server?

In IE
Go to
TOOLS
INTERNET OPTIONS
select Connections Tab
LAN Settings
Check Bypass proxy server for local connections

Then you should be able to use localhost as your machine

cheers

Bypass proxy server for local connections is checked but still can't display the test.asp.
I'll try to make some settings in order to get the server run I hope I will succeed

I will inform you on Monday, I've no time at the weekend.

Thanks,

why don't you do a search on the internet for free asp.net hosting.  There are places out there like brinkster.com who will do hosting for free.

The only web server I found is the Cassini web server. I installed it but the installation didn't create an Inetpub or wwwroot folder.
When I start CassiniWebServer.exe I will be asked for:
Application Directory, Server Port and Virtual Root.

I signed up but I couldn't find other web server.

Here is a good link to confiure IIS on your windows XP machine

It works, and it is very simple to install.
