    Hi Nathan,

    I always forget how to dot his because I very raely have to do it. Generally I just run Umbraco projects through Visual Studios and IIS Express. There's no configuration needed.

    I am guessing you need to connect up a custom url to your project to test against a real domain name.

    This requires hacking at your windows host file (assuming you are using windows)

    I have this video saved which helped me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thpk1X3NTMI

    Thanks to Paul Seal who outs out a lot of good content.

    I think you can get away with skipping to about 6.50 mins into the video.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards

    David

    you can skip editing the hosts file by using a subdomain of .localhost (works with Chrome) or of .localtest.me (works in all browsers). You still need to set whichever one you choose as a binding in IIS.

    Hi Tom,

    I never knew that. That's well handy.
