The following topics assume that you have previously installed a sample Corporate Site. We will leave the existing website and add a new website that will run on http://127.0.0.1.

 

 

 

Multiple sites and Visual Studio's built-in web server

 

If you are using the built-in web server in Visual Studio 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 any domain other than localhost, you will use the localhost domain again.

 

Sign in as Administrator to Site Manager -> Sites and click NewSiteWizard New site wizard.
