Hi,
I stumbled upon a strange problem.
I have IIS 5.0 installed under Win2K. When I try to reach something in the
wwwroot directory as e.g. http://localhost/iishelp/ , I get an error
message:




Caudium // (with helluva great letters)

Sorry

The resource requested /iishelp/ cannot be found.
If you feel that this is a configuration error, please contact the
administrators or the author of the referring page.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Caudium/1.2.33 STABLE, at http://localhost/.



Everything works fine when I specify the address as
http://127.0.0.1/iishelp/ , though.

Virus or something?

ensure the first entry of your hosts file is

127.0.0.1 localhost
 
That is the first line.
'localhost' still doesn't work, '127.0.0.1' still does.
Mysterious...

Maybe:

Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings ->
Uncheck everything.

if you goto a CMD prompt and ping localhost what response do you get?

Have you checked your PC with some spyware checker like Spybot?
 
Damn it... I use a proxy and didn't check 'bypass proxy server for local
addresses'... Now localhost works at last.
