    Hi,
    Just installed fresh copy of win2k8 standard,
    installed the IIS/.net components

    I go to http://localhost and get 404 error.

    IIS is started, firewalls switched off,
    I've searched google and lots of people having this problem but can't find a solution.

    Cheers

    Are there any files in the default website location?

    Hi there,
    Yes, it's the defaul setup so there is just one web directory (defaul web site) which has the iisstart.htm file in there.

    so I've tried http://localhost/iistart.htm
    I've tried http://myipaddress/
    I've tried http://127.0.0.1/
    etc

    etc
    etc :-(

    check if it is running on a specific port, like http://localhost:8080

    It should be in the properties pages for the default site.

    a 404 error is that the file is not there. Check the default website, check what default documents are set up and check the home directory for the default website and check that there are files there.

    there might be a redirect in the index or default.asp page.

    Its an easy one to make.. you would normally think that installing a web server would show up HTML files afterall.

    Its just the whole security by turning nothing on thing....

    Just so know if you get a 404 error when the file is there, then usually IIS doesnt know how to serve the file or the file type is not allowed to be served..
