Windows Server

Hi guys,

I'm newbie to WSS. I've installed WSS to Window Server 2003 Std Ed. I've
also checked all the pre installation check up, like Install ISS, Enable ASP
..NET.

I select the typical installation of WSS using the MSDE. After finished the
installation of WSS, it automatically open Internet Explorer(IE) to localhost
yeah ... And In IE there is error "The Browser can not find the page"

But From Administrative Tools, I can open my WSS Central Administration. Is
this installation correct ?

If it is not correct, then do you guys have any idea to solve it ?

Thank you

Oh yeah ...

I found the problem, when I open my IIS manager, expand Web Site and I saw
my Default Web site (stopped). I try to Start it but it failed because the
file is being used by another process. I'm not too sure about the error pop
up.

Then I try to change the port to 8080 instead of 80. I start the Default Web
Site and It works, it goes to Home WSS.

I just wondering whether I am in the right direction ?

Go into IIS settings of your site and under Web Site -> Web site
identification click the advanced button and add a host header value.
It should be xyz.your_servername.com. Now you will be able to start
both Default web sites and the top-level web-site that you created. Go
to the Host file under c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc and add your IP
and host name value and you should be able to access your site by
typing in the host header.

Hi Bali,

I've tried your solution by going to IIS manager, open the Default Web Site
Properties, Click Advanced Button under Web Site identification. Then I found
out that my Default Web Site is already there in Multiple Identities for this
Web Site.

So I just need to edit it right ? instead of add the new one.
IP Addr : 192.168.1.85
TCP port : 8080
Host Header Value : xyz.NETDEV.com

I've also edit the host file like you said. But I still find Can not found
the page in the IE Browser. Here is what I type in the IE address :
http://xyz.NETDEV.com

All of these things, I do it on the server where the WSS was installed.
Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but I don't really get what you mean.

Now, I can run my WSS home by setting the Default Web Site in IIS using port
8080 and In IE, I just type : http://192.168.1.85:8080/ and It works fine. Is
this ok ?

Thank you
