I am working under localhost.
In IIS Manager 7.5, windows server 2008.
After adding a new application in “Application pools”, I added a new asp.net web application site using that application pool.
The problem is how can I run that website on localhost to check whether the site is working correctly or not?
People told me that I have to add bindings “domains” for that site and run the site using those domains. But that is not convenient as every time adding a new site on IIS, I need to have a domain to check the result?
I think it should be possible to run the site under localhost somehow but I dont know.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
The simplest way is to add a virtual directory to your default web site within IIS. Point that virtual directory to the directory to which you installed/copied your website.
The you can either browse from IIS or type the virtual directory name (preceeded by localhost/) into your browser address bar.
