Error Opening Project

Expand Post »
HI,

Well, I'm getting this error message when i try to open my project "Visual Studio cannot create or open the application because the web server on this computer is not running. Start the web server before preceeding".

I searched in google for any kind of help.. i found this website http://www.aspnetresources.com/blog/...mages_iis.aspx

I had google talk installed.. i uninstalled it. And ran those two commands.

But it didn't help me. Plz help me out. I'm stuck. I just hope i don't lose my project. Plzzzzzzzzz help me out.

Re: Error Opening Project

you wont have lost your project it just cant open it as there doesnt seem to be a webserver on your pc. I have googletalk and it isnt interfering.

1. What version of visual studio are you using? 2005 or 2003?
2. What version of windows are you running?
3. Do you have IIS installed on your pc? (It isnt installed by default)
4. Has the project ever opened on this pc before and if so how long ago

Re: Error Opening Project

So have you checked to see if WWW publishing service is running on your pc? Is it somehow set to manual and stopped? Can you restart it? Then check the error logs and tell us what it says.

Something has stopped IIS so need to find out what it is. Then we can fix it

Re: Error Opening Project

Can you check your application event log and your system event log to see if there are messages in there about the problem.

Hopefully they will shed some light
