Formatted my computer, reinstalled Umbraco using the Webinstaller. Went through the setup wizard and it created a folder called "villers" in my wwwroot folder to where it installed umbraco.
When i try to access it I get this:
Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking
for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name
changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL
and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /install/default.aspx
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework
Version:2.0.50727.3082; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.3082
CustomErrors is set to "Off", but this is all i get.
What gives? It seems like its looking for a folder called Install, but i don't recall it doing that the last time i installed umbraco :/
When using the Web PI be certain to leave the Application Name
field blank, otherwise the installer will place Umbraco into a sub
folder under a web root, which is not supported.
Now what do i do? I need to have localhost subfolders for all the sites i'm going to create :/ ?
Alrighty then! found an old post about the home directory in IIS, so now it works for this site.
So i'll just change the home directory path everytime i make a new site or is there a more clever way to handle multiple local instances of Umbraco in IIS ?
I use XP PRO IIS Admin. Allows you to have multiple sites in xp and gives you a quick interface for switching between them. (Assuming you're running xp.)
it's not a replacement for IIS, but it is a tool with which you can manage multiple websites in IIS on XP. So, you do have to have IIS allready installed!
note: you still can only have 1 active website, but it makes it possible to quickly change sites or create a new one.

Ok, found this:

Hi Jeff
Looks great - gonna give it a try. How should i go about it when i already have IIS installed?
Martin,

Give it a try, you'll love it.
