Internet Explorer Error when I run a page in Visual Studio 2008 Team System

Question

User1250812075 posted

Hello All,

I am using visual studio 2008 team system to test web application on Windows Vista Home Premium. I am unable to see the compiled pages in vs built in web server. I get "Internet explorer cannot display webpage" error whenever i run any of the web site which i want to test. For the solution i followed the following steps

1. I reinstall asp.net by using the following command

windir%\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -u
%windir%\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i -enable

2. i edited c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file by commenting #::1 localhost and :::1 localhost and I also tried by completely removing the two lines.

3. I stopped windows firewall

4. I stopped avast antivirus

But still i am not able to solve the problem

Can any buddy tell me the solution.

Best regards

Sometimes this is an issue due to the antivirus that blocks some ports and thus your server can not use those ports. See the following link, it might help you.

Check for any messengers  (Skype, Yahoo etc ) working around. Disable and re register IIS with asp.net.

Try using the internal browser rather than IE. To change to setting File>Browse With>Internal Web browser/

After you try to open the page can you check the "Application" event log? Are there any errors?

Thanks for the reply but i am facing the problem while running my application in built in web server in visual studio 2008.

Answer 15

User-1011786642 posted

What is the url displayed in the browser when it throws the error?

If it is something like http://localhost/oes/default.aspx - it is IIS website

If it has a port number like http://localhost:6413/oes/default.aspx - then you are definitely using the built-in webserver.

I'm asking you this because I saw that the url in the event log which you pasted is "http://localhost/oes/default.aspx".  This means the request goes to IIS.

You can check the "Start options" when you right click - "Property Pages" on the website in VS solution explorer.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Actually I had two problems one with the IIS and the other with the builtin asp.net development server in visual studio. I have solved the problem off IIS using your given links but the second problem still persists. The log was created IIS. 

I still get the "page cannot be displayed" error when i browse my application using development server (builtin) in visual studio. 

Best regards,

Did you try hosting in a virtual server? According the error description, it is saying that problem with configuration. Are you sure that all setting in IIS are correct?

if not hosted on IIS you can check start up form from the solution explorer. Try changing the startup form by right clicking and set as startup.

This is why I use Chrome!! It is so much simpler and hardly has any problems!!

User-1011786642 posted

hollypatterns, this has nothing to do with the browser type.

Hunzian, if you made it work in iis you can setup the website to use this url in Visual studio:

Right click on the site, choose Property Pages, then select Start options. In Server section select Use custom server and for Base URL type your site for example: http://localhost/oes/
