Hello All,
I installed IIS for my home computer and everything is okay. I got to
know that http://computername redirects to http://localhost. But i
was just wandering if let's say instead of typing http://localhost can
i type http://projectname and get it to redirect it to http://localhost.
I'm on a WINXP SP2 PRO on IIS 5.1
Regards,
SpElLuBlInD

Open in notepad the file:-
\windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS
(note no file extension)
add this line:-
127.0.0.1 projectname
If you are developing for uploading to a public address then you could do
something like this also:-
127.0.0.1 projectname.domain.com
This is preferable for testing purposes
