Can I run two localhost sites at once?

I think it's exactly what you are looking for.

EXCELLENT! George, I believe that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

If Microsoft had provided that, the complaint would be that
it's encroaching on developer turf and creating a monopoly.

heh, heh...

I understand your pov, though...

Darrel,

I am not quite understanding why it would be so difficult to put the
original site in http://localhost/myOldSite, and then develop your new site
in http://localhost/myNewSite. THis way, you could maintain the old site,
while revamping it in the new site.

Hi, Lucas.

He's developing in Windows XP, which has that limitation.
IIS 5.1 only allows one root website.

For a workaround, see :

While you're right in that he could use
http://localhost/myOldSite and http://localhost/myNewSite
that makes it difficult to maintain references to images/controls/etc,
if the objective is to later publish to a root directory at a production server.
