Win xp pro IIS: can not connect to the localhost

I carefully read messageg in this forum with the same problem. But nothing helps...

I reinstalled windows xp pro (fresh copy) and installed php. Php works from command prompt. But i have problems connecting to localhost (URL or URL or URL (any files: html, asp, php).

I used IIS before and never had problems. In the old version I had Inetpub\wwwroot look different (now it looks like usual folder without blue circle on it). I tried to do everything: web sharing, changing properties in default website, change Directory Sequrity in Default Web Site properties to all users...Nothing helps. It means I don't understand where the problem is...

Does someone has any ideas to how to solve this problem?

i think just put your stuff below the 'www' diriectory. may be ok. just try once time. good luck.

I am having simmilar problems. My IIS on xp pro returns a 404 when I look for URL and returns a 11001 when I look for URL"hostname"/. I have also look for other solutions I can find none! Please Help!

Is the www service running?
Are there any errors in the event log?
Does the IUSR_computername account have execute permissions?
Turn off any antivirus script blocking.
Turn off any firewall software.
