http://Localhost - No web site is configured at this address

Hi,

When you trying browse http://localhost, do you see the message, "No web site is configured at this address". I also saw the same message today and was trying all tricks to solve it for 20 - 30 mins untill i found this helpful blog. Here are points mentioned and I made sure all are done as mentioned below(updated with my attempt);

I am using OS: XP pro & IIS V5.1.

Note: Y= checked on, N= not checked.

Website Identification: Running, Host header name: blank,IP Address (SELECT All Unassigned) port: 80

WEB SITE
HTTP keep alive enabled : Y
Enable logging: Y

ISAPI FILTERS: blank

HOME DIRECTORY:
content should come from: A Directory on this computer :Y
Local path: c:\inetpub\wwwroot (which I have shared through explorer: share folder on network:Y, Allow users to change files: Y)

Script source access: N
Read: Y
Write: N
Dir browsing: N
Log Visits: Y
Index resource: Y

application setting:
Application name: Default Application
Execute Permissions: Scripts Only
Application protection: Medium(pooled)

DOCUMENTS:
enable default document: Y
(I have added my Login.aspx here(and all other website files) to the inetpub/wwwroot directory)
enable document folder: N

HTTP HEADERS:
enable content expiration: N

DIRECTORY SECURITY:
ANONYMOUS ACCESS & AUTHENTICATION CONTROL: (EDIT)
anonymous access: Y
User name: SOMESTATION\IUSR_SOMESTATION (SOMESTATION being my computer name)
allow IIS to control password: Y
basic authentication: N
Integrated Windows Authentication : N

I Believe after making highlighted change (Select: All Unassigned) only it worked fine for me.

Regards
Fauzi

Thanx, after hours and hours finding out why the localhost and asp where not working....the solution. when you have a website running, you have to add localhost with port 80.
