Re: Can't See Webpage

Hi, I am a newbie myself, and I was facing the same problem a couple
of hours ago. Port 80 did not work for me too. What I did was that I
installed the IIS (control panel -> add programs -> add windows
components -> check IIS). After that, I created a folder in the c
drive (c:Web_Root), right-click on My Computer, and goto Manage,
double-click Services and Applications, double-click IIS, right-click
on WebServer and did the following changes in the webserver

Website -> change the description (www.mydomain.com), changed TCP port
to 8080
HomeDirectory -> set the path to c:\Web_Root
Documents -> Added the main page of my website (Index.html) and used
the arrow to move it to the top of the list

Click okay, open internet browser, and typed
http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx:8080/

that did it. Hope this will help you as well
