Creating a new web site using wizard

Top  Previous  Next

The following chapters suppose you have previously installed a sample CorporateSite on your computer. We will leave the existing web site and add a new web site that will run on http://127.0.0.1.

 

 

Multiple sites and VS2005 built-in web server

 

If you're using the built-in web server in VS2005 instead of IIS, you need to stop the CorporateSite site in the Site Manager -> Sites dialog first and then you can continue. Since the built-in web server doesn't support other domain than localhost, you will use the localhost domain again.

 

Sign in as Administrator to Site Manager -> Sites. Click New site wizard on the home page.
