Greetings. I recently puchased a new laptop that has Windows XP
professional on it and instaled IIS and Visual Studio 2003. I copied a
project from my other laptop onto my new laptop. For some reason, it would
not load any of my webforms projects. No problem with the windows project
though. In my VS IDE, I tried to "Reload" my PTWebcs project and I'm
getting "The web server reported the following error when attempting to
create or open the web project located at the following url.
'Http://localhost/PTWebcs. A connection to the server could not be
established'.

I tried registering ASPNET to iis by "ASPNET_REGIS -I" to no avail. If
someone can give me some direction, I will be deeply in debted!!!!

Peter

No idea, but some things that you may want to test:

- Can you create a new Web Application and does it work fine?

- If not, then there is a problem with the installation.

- If yes, then you have problems only with your existing old projects. I
would check the IIS log (to see denied requests) and the security settings
of the folders where your projects reside. Another test is to create a new
web app and add your old files to this new solution.

Finally, when you have more info specific to your situation, you can review
these posts:

I figured it out. My personal firewall blocked VS Studio and among other
apps. Also, the order of the installatin is pretty critical too. You should
always install IIS first, then VS Studio.
