IIS Problem

[Silencer]

I installed IIS on my computer. I need it so I can practise my server side scripting with my own computer acting as the server. But now I'm wondering what the URL is to check out the asp-pages.
My teacher said that it was something like http://localhost/... But I can't remember what comes after the local host part.

Also this is a shared computer for 4 people so the folder "My webs" is placed into "My Documents". Anyone know the rest of the URL or how I can figure it out?

Are you sure that "localhost" was part of a URL? Because it's part of the IIS system as well. I found this page via an internet search. It discusses key names and paths, and IIS://Localhost is one of them.

You might be able to find what you need at one of the following IIS links, though:

well there is a difference between IIS://localhost and http://localhost. I found a http on that site, now I'm searching the page and gonna check out the url and the map path to it, maybe I can come up with something this way.

Edit: Tracked the file down to a windows map so I'm pretty sure that's not the way (even made a map with a htm page in and tried to redirect but didn't work). So I'm still open for suggestions

Do you have a requirement/burning desire to use IIS? Every system admin I've spoken to has had to go through considerable trouble to get it to work for very little long-term benefit. If you have the choice (and considering it's your own computer, I'd imagine that you do), go for Apache instead. It's much less convoluted than IIS, has much better security, and has fantastic support communities.
