Question

Setting up IIS with Windows 7 & CS4

I was just getting to grips with building an ASP site first with Dreamweaver MX2004 then CS4 both on an XP Pro machine and all was going well.

I now have a W7 machine and have come unstuck.

Every site I search or forum covers the basic setup of IIS7 & I have this working I believe (localhost test works OK) but you try configuring CS4 site testing server to actually access the local host folder and it refuses to work!

Has anyone come across this in Vista or W7?

Hi thanks for the info, but I have already been through that one.

The problem is to do with some security setting, i.e. I can create and manually deposited files using Windows Explorer and if I run the timetest.asp example it works ok.

However, the problem is that Dreamweaver is not permitted to access the interpub folder or sub-folders, therefore setting up a test server fails at the first fence and without a testing server I can not set up a database connection for the site I am trying to develop.

This problem has only come about since moving to a Windows 7 Pro PC, which I have full admin access rights.

It has to be some weird and wonderful setting with IIS 7.5 that is hidden away and nestled in some obscure place, but being a novice tweaking the IIS settings is getting me no where fast, so any help, hint or tips are hugely appreciated
