Web matrix server

Hi

Just got the book and downloaded the web matrix. I'm unable to start the server on a XP home machine. I've had the visual veb 2005 beta installed but removed all . When I try to start the server in the explore it says that there is a problem that maybe can be resolved by re-install the program. i've tried that. I also removed all framework and re-installed that without any effort.

Hey,

Typically the problem is that XP home doesn't have IIS, but that isn't the case for web matrix, as it uses it's own custom web server.

Are you running a firewall at all on your machine?

Thank you very much!!! I just found out that it was the WebServer . exe config file I've being adding as mentioned in the book. When I removed it I could start the server. But thank you very much, i look forward to be a member of this group
