IIS 5.1

Just starting to look at DNN. I was thinking of installing on a local XP computer. Can DNN work with IIS 5.1?

I've had some bumps installing on my office server and thought it might be easier to load locally.

Thanks

Re: IIS 5.1

yes, you can easily use IIS in Windows XP Pro. I suggest installing XP pro IIS Admin from www.jetstat.com, it is great to run multiple websites locally.

Maybe, maybe not. There are limitations to IIS on a workstation. You might want to post your "bumps" to see if there's something easily fixed.

Re: IIS 5.1

One major 'bump' is after I finally have DNN running on my server non of my workstations can view the site.

Works fine on the server but I get a runtime error on workstations.

Re: IIS 5.1

In Host :: Portals, you need to add the external domain address as additional portal alias.
