I have followed done the "Turn Windows Features On" action ticking IIS and then gone to http://Localhost.

I am not getting a response. Is there a windows service that I need to start before things happen?

Did you open IIS manager and see if IIS is running?

That's a solution in itself :)

The manager says yes, but http://Localhost is not finding it.

Look at your wwwroot directory and see what is there. If there are any files there try specifying a file. You might try creating a default file for local host to display.

Everything present and correct there - and it works in firefox, chrome and IE10 from the desktop. Just not from the windows 8 start page which is where I was looking!

Hi Peter,

I've been to various pages online and they all say the same thing - inluding this link. But it still does not appear.

See my comment above - works from browsers launched via desktop but not from the Win8 dashboard!
