    Using Webmatrix with something other than localhost

    I've seen docs that suggest I should be able to change Webmatrix from running on localhost:45758 to (say) dev.local:8080

    I can make this change in Webmatrix, but when loaded up on that URL, Umbraco won't start.

    Anything I can do to change this?

    Hi Micah

    Is there any particular reason why you want to do your setup like this?

    If you want to run your site on port 80 using dev.local then I suggest you setup the site in IIS rather than IIS express.

    All you need to do is create the site in IIS and point it to your the Umbraco folder containing your installation and then add dev.local as your binding.

    Then you also need to add 127.0.0.1 dev.local to your hosts file.

    Then you just type it in the browser and update when you need to see changes.

    Hope this suits your needs.

    Cheers, Jan
