anthony Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Hello.Recently having moved I got a new isp provider. The problem is that now when I try to run the asp web matrix or the apache server on my computer I get an 404 error,page can't be found error. Im using windows xp home edition.Im a little flustered with this problem.I would appreciate any help.It appears somehow that the local host can't be found. Thank you. Quote
Moderators Robby Posted January 15, 2004 Moderators Posted January 15, 2004 You need XP Pro or Win 2000 in order to setup and configure IIS5, this is a must if you want to develop any .NET web apps. Quote Visit...Bassic Software
Moderators Robby Posted January 15, 2004 Moderators Posted January 15, 2004 It seems that Web Matrix does work on XP Home but you need IIS 5.5 Here's what they say.... What are the System Requirements for ASP.NET Web Matrix? ASP.NET Web Matrix is supported on Windows 2000 (Professional and Server editions) and Windows XP (Home, Professional) operating systems. You must have IE 5.5 or greater and the .NET Framework installed. Quote Visit...Bassic Software
anthony Posted January 15, 2004 Author Posted January 15, 2004 I've used the web matrix on my machine since it was first issued. You dont need the IIs to run the web matrix on the xp home edition . Everything worked fine until I moved and got a new isp provider. I still don't have a clue what the problem is. Quote
Moderators Robby Posted January 15, 2004 Moderators Posted January 15, 2004 Come to think of it their (Webmatrix) entire pitch was that you don't need IIS, so I don't know what the new version is up to. Sorry I couldn't help. Quote Visit...Bassic Software
anthony Posted January 15, 2004 Author Posted January 15, 2004 The web matrix and apache server not working isn't the only problem I've had since I moved and got my computer set up again.I can just managed to get rid of the trojan virus by re-installing windows xp,and I now I've gotta find a driver type file for my sound card. My advice.If you want consistancy in your computer,live in the same place and don't move. Quote
Moderators Robby Posted January 15, 2004 Moderators Posted January 15, 2004 The trojan is probably hindering your system ops. I would re-format the HDD Quote Visit...Bassic Software
anthony Posted January 16, 2004 Author Posted January 16, 2004 You know,if I reformatted the hard drive,would all my software still be protected? Some music software I downloaded, so I wouldn't be able to re-install after doing a reformat of the disk,and I just don't feel like installing a cd burner on this machine the way it is now(in order to "save" the music software). I have a good feeling it's the virus causing all these problems and Ill have to take a drastic step to get rid of it.Nortons anti-virus can't do any more than they've already .done. Maybe I should think about suing them.Then I could buy a whole bunch of new computers.That's an idea. Quote
Moderators Robby Posted January 16, 2004 Moderators Posted January 16, 2004 Re-formatting would wipe your hard disk and you would lose everything. Quote Visit...Bassic Software
anthony Posted January 16, 2004 Author Posted January 16, 2004 You know what?I don't think my localhost problem is due to the trogan virus.From what I've read and what I've seen the "trogan" appears to be just a minor irritant that doesn't cause major damage. If I could only get the localhost working.I want to write one of the microsoft exams soon. Quote
