Re: How do you set up http://localhost?

I uninstalled all versions of .NET Framework, then reinstalled 1.1 and SDK.
I un and reinstalled MSDE 2000 and now in IIS there is a quickstart item.
Not knowing how to open these items I searched for .sln files and opened one
OK. However, when I try to create a new web application, the default site
is http://localhost/quickstart/WebApplication1
and I get an error
The Web server reported the following error when attempting to create or
open the Web project located at the following URL:
'http//:localhost/quickstart/WebApplication1' 'HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error'.

SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) is running.
IIS is running and shows a default web site.

I still can't create Web Applications with Visual Studio 2003 60 day trial.
I am still new to this kind of software, and am not sure what to try next.

Any advise would be very appreciated,
Thanks,
Mich
