Hi All...

I just installed visual studio 2008 and I'm having a problem,

when i try to run a web site (very simple one - the default empty web site) I'm getting an error in IE,

that the page cannt be shown.

I have IIS 7 installed but i know that the VS runs with the Development Server,

which runs with a different port number each time.

I read that i should bypass the Proxy server for local web requests, so i did it and it did not help.

I'm stuck... and need help... ;-)

Hi

I too faced the problem, The solution i got is, to browse website using other browsers like Mozilla...

Follow the simple 2 steps to do mozilla as default browser....

Hope it helps!!!

Hello,

Could you open the site just by typing a "localhost" in your web browser?

Regards

 Hi All...

Firefox it gave me the same problem...

still stuck...

any other ideas ?

Hi,

To better understand your issue, please confirm the following information:

• If we create another type project, does it have same issue? We need to narrow down the cause of this issue.
• Did you install any antivirus software which could prevent Asp.Net Development Server? If so, you can try to reconfigure your antivirus software.
• If we use another browser such as FireFox, does it have the same issue? If you are using Vista, you can refer to http://community.sgdotnet.org/blogs/yizhe/archive/2009/03/29/visual-studio-2008-2005-development-server-not-working-internet-explorer-cannot-display-the-webpage.aspx
• Please make sure the port number on URL matches the one in ASP.NET Development server. If it doesn't match, you can specify a port for it. For more information, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178109(VS.80).aspx

I look forward to receiving your test results.
