IIS Default Page / New Umbraco Instance Default Page
Hi,
I was able to successfully get Umbraco (v.4.0.2.1) installed, and can acccess the CMS without incident. However, I cannot find the WEBSITE! The instructions (http://umbraco.org/documentation/books/install-umbraco-30-on-windows-xp -- couldn't find equivalent instructions for version 4) say it should be located at http://localhost/, but what I get there is still the ISS default page (it redirects to http://localhost/localstart.asp). ; What am I doing wrong here? Seems like a configuration issue, no?
If you're on xp, you can only have one website running at the same time. Consider installing IISAdmin from jetstat which allows for running multiple websites on an xp box (altho still only one web running at the same time).
Also, umbraco should be installed at the root of the website (will change in future release)!
I think you can get your site running quite fast if you create a new website in IISAdmin tool, point the directory for the website to the directory where you've installed the umbraco files and start the website.
Let us know if you need more specific details on how to configure umbraco!
Also have a look at the wiki installation pages (you'll also find a tutorial on how to install v4 - albeit on a win2008 server, but the methods remains the same)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's probably a config issue.
