Well I'm at the end of my rope, hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction.
I have downloaded and installed .NET beta2, SQL 2005 Express and Visual Web Developer Express beta2.
My operating system is Windows Server 2003 SP1 with IIS. I'm simply trying to publish the Personal Web Site sample included with VWD Express. I've created a new web site with no changes to the template and used the "Copy Web Site" option to copy the web site
to the IIS directory (which is a sub dir of the root). I have set the default page in IIS for that directory to default.aspx. Whenever I try to go
http://localhost/rob I get "The page cannot be found". Even if I go straight to
http://localhost/rob/default.aspx I get the same thing. I've tried to put up a simple page with only a line of text and I get the same results. Using CTRL F5 within VWD Express runs the site with no problem. The
ASP.NET tab in IIS properties for the web site is version 2.0.50215.0.
