rrcn Posted March 13, 2003 Posted March 13, 2003 Hi, I'm using xp home edition with vb.net standard edition. I am trying to use front page extensions, but when I try to begin a new net project I get the following error message. "Unable to create web project 'WebApplication1'. Could not find a web server at 'localhost' on port 80. Please check to make sure that the web server name is valid and your proxy settings are set correctly. If you are sure that everything is correct, the web server may be temporarily out of service." Can anyone help? Quote

rrcn Posted March 13, 2003 Author Posted March 13, 2003 front page extensions are supposed to provide that, they are installed. Quote
*Gurus* divil Posted March 13, 2003 *Gurus* Posted March 13, 2003 Front Page extensions are extensions to the IIS webserver. If you only have XP Home, you don't have IIS. You'll have to do without ASP.NET I'm afraid. On the other hand, you could try out Web Matrix, Microsoft's free ASP.NET IDE. It comes with its own "lite" web browser that supports ASP.NET.
