Just a little bit more info please:

Did you make your own page? Or are you attempting to access the default web
page that is ready out of the box?

Subject: [Web4lib] setting up new web server problems


Hello, there!
We have a brand new web server running MS Server 2003 and IIS6.0, and I 
can't it to serve out my web page. (No, I haven't turned off the old one 
yet.) Anyway, here's the problem:

I can't get it to read my default webpage as localhost, nor as the 
computer name, either internally or externally.  I did get my 
personalized error message once, the one for "HTTP Error 401.1 - 
Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials."  So I added 
everyone as a user with read/execute rights, in addition to the 
anonymous guest Internet user account. I have tried using a static IP, 
not using same, varying the host headers to include localhost, using the 
translate IP as well as the internal one - all no good. This is 
(obviously) my first experience with IIS 6.0 (the old server is running 
1.1), and my setup has been checked by the city IT person, who says it's 
just like hers except for things like site name - she couldn't see 
anything wrong either, but it still doesn't work. The old one is on its 
last legs, and we're feeling desparate and frustrated. Any help would be 
wonderful. Any info you need on my setup, I'd be happy to fill in - I'm 
so ignorant I don't even know what to tell you.
Thanks!
Lynne
