Hi

I'm a non IT professional experimenting with web develepment on my PC.

I have installed Visual Interdev 6 and downloaded SQL server 2000 to
learn how to develop web application on my PC running Win XP Pro. I
was previously developing using Frontpage 2002 and IIS 5.0 with some
success but wanted to have a bash with Sql Server and Interdev.

I have installed SQL Server 2000 and have got it running OK (I think).

However, when I try to create a new project in InterDev through the
Web Project Wizard I am prompted to 'specify a server and mode'.

I type in 'neilscomputer' and at this point a dialog box claims,
"There is no server on port 80 at 'neilscomputer'. (Error code =
80004005)"

I have trawled the newsgroups and MS KB but the only info I can get
from MS KB (Article 272289) for this error reads:-

" The Web server is not running. To test the basic Web server
functionality, browse to a test HTML and ASP page. If the pages are
not displayed correctly, troubleshoot the Microsoft Internet
Information Server (IIS) or Microsoft Personal Web Server
installation. "

I can still display html and ASP pages that I have created though not
sure how I tell if these are being returned by SQL server or IIS as
before.

Any help gratefully appreciated.
