Cannot preview local database on web

Hi,

I have a database on my local system. Earlier i could preview it on web. But now, i m getting the following error message :

The page cannot be found

The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.


Please try the following:

If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Open the localhost home page, and then look for links to the information you want.

Click the Back button to try another link.

HTTP 404 - File not found

Internet Information Services


The entries in the hosts file are all proper. I dont know if my browser settings may have been changed as other users are also using my system. I am not able to find the cause for this problem. Urgent help needed.

Thanks,

Dipen.

Is IIS running, try stopping it. You cand do this via the services from control panel >> administrative toolsCheck if you can open server homepage http://127.0.0.1 or and alternate IP.

The database should be in your data directory.

Hi sudhi,

thank you very very much. I stopped the IIS service and it worked. But do you know why does this IIS service doesnt allow the database to be previewed locally?

Thanks,

Dipen
