Setting up XP for ASP.Net development

[lloydi]

Folks, I'm trying to set up my Win XP Pro build in Parallels for .Net development.

I've set up a virtual directory in IIS, created a dummy .html and .asp page, but cannot view either page:

You are not authorized to view this page
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please try the following:

Click the Refresh button to try again with different credentials.
If you believe you should be able to view this directory or page, please contact the Web site administrator by using the e-mail address or phone number listed on the localhost home page.
HTTP 401.3 - Access denied by ACL on resource
Internet Information Services

Now, I've set up IIS for this oodles of times in the past, but I *suspect* that the fault here is something to do with how Parallels treats 'home'. For example, the address that's failing is:

http://localhost/APress3618/asptest.html

I've googled around for people who have had similar issues but no joy. Anyone know what else I need to do to get this working for me?

What is in the web server log? Does IIS understand and use localhost? What happens if you use the IP of the vm instead of localhost? What happens if you use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost?

Hi,

Did you make sure the user account used by IIS has access to the directory where you put your web page, also verify credentials assigned to the web site

If you're trying to use a web browser from the Mac to IIS in the vm, have you tried configuring IIS to support a virtual host on the IP number that your host OS assigns to the guest OS?

Right click on the folder where you have your web content and make sure that folder is shared... I have had the same problem and after changed it to Shared, it work fine.
