http://Localhost/virtualdirector yname/default.aspx
it is working properly.But if i use my port address instead of tht localhost like
http://port address//virtualdirector yname/default.aspx
it is not working...
please give a good solution as soon as possible...

Don't you mean http://address:port? Do you have IIS installed or are you using the built-in VS web server? If you have IIS, is it configured to use host headers?

[haiminnu]

i have installed IIS .How i can configure it to use host headers?

[boyank]

You don't have to install IIS or configure host headers. My question was there because having or not having IIS affects how you can access the web site. The same applies to host headers.

If you didn't have IIS and only were using the built-in visual studio web server, that would explain why you can't access the web app in any other way.

What are you trying to do and how are you trying to do it?

i am trying to run my project in web.

i have installed iis....and created virtual directory......
as i mentioned above i just tried to run it by two ways
1] http://localhost//virtualdirector yname/default.aspx
2] http://192.168.45.45//virtualdirector yname/default.aspx

1st link is working properly.....bu t insted of "localhost" i just used "ipaddress"
in the second case.

actually both r same .....but second link is not working.....

is any properties i hav to set in IIS or in my project...?????
thanks....

This is just a guess but ....
What happens if you add an entry in your hosts file which maps localhost onto that ip?

[balabaster]

When you ping localhost, what IP address is resolved?

Well then does it work if you set your browser to allow ActiveX download as suggested?

[haiminnu]

thanks....How i can set browser to allow ActiveX .What setting IIS need to run ocx.????Can you please help me to complete this.

See that message again "Set your browser Internet options to allow ActiveX download!". By browser there they mean things like Intenet Explorer, Firefox, e.t.c.
IIS is innocent in all this.

[haiminnu]

I went through
Internet Explorer 6.0 (Browser)-->Tools --> Internet Options
But i didnt get an option to allow activex download
Please help me.....

its an unsigned activex, isnt it?

go to internet options > security > custom level

now set all the ActiveX options as you please

[haiminnu]

I have changed all the settings on
IE(browser) -->Tools -->InternetOption s -->
Security has been set to enable for active x.But still ocx is not loading.
I have seen one more thing regarding that ocx on Internetoptions-->programs-->Add-ons.

ocx is signed. why it shows as "Not verified" .What is its meaning "Not verified"?.
Is that problem from here?.
