    Changing directory

    Hi all

    Are any of you able to help me.

    I used Umbraco once before by downloading it, unpacking it, adding it in IIS and then configuring it. No worries there.

    So this time I am on my work machine (Win XP) and i download the Web Platform and install Umbraco which in turns runs Web Matrix/ IIS Express.

    I am using SQL CE on localhost.

    So i want to change the directory from localhost:numbers to a named folder. However, whatever i change it to i get a 404.3 error.

    Im trying to change the directorty in Web Matrix, settings.

    Anyone have any ideas? ?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi, I'm completely unaware of WebMatrix, but you can tune your IIS Express with the applicationhost.config file that by default resides in your "\Documents\IISExpress\config" folder. Inside the "system.applicationHost/sites" section identify the "site" subsection corresponding to your umbraco site and modify the "binding" setting so that it look like "<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation=":80:myumbraco" />". Than you will need to add the string "127.0.0.1  myumbraco" to the "hosts" file (that's inside the "\Windows\system32\etc\" folder). After that your IIS Express umbraco site should become available by the URL "http://myumbraco/" (Of course if you want another name then just replace "myumbraco" to anything you like).
