index.html sitting on web root but cannot browse to

im trying to config a fresh webserver and appear to be falling at the first
hurdle .... got index.html sitting on web root but cannot browse to it from
using http://localhost/index.html

anonymous users setup
i reset the NT anoy pass and changed in website properties
IUSR_servername has permissions to read dir
server has net access
website is running on port 80 and host header value entered
website has READ access enabled
IP filer open to 80 traffic


I need a few diagnostics ideas i think.










error =
The webpage cannot be found

Re: index.html sitting on web root but cannot browse to

HTTP/1.1 GET /index.html 400 - Hostname -

http error

Re: index.html sitting on web root but cannot browse to

could be default website prob i.e i dont have one and my URL is not directed
at this server yet.

Re: index.html sitting on web root but cannot browse to

yeah that was it , needed a site without a hostheader.

Re: index.html sitting on web root but cannot browse to

Hi,

Togheter with the information in your first post, it seems that you do not
have a website with host name "localhost", nor do you have a website that
"catches all" requests if the host header sent does not match any of those
on the server.
