server not found (sorry, I'm a total novice)
I'm sorry for my complete ignorance, but I was hoping someone could help me with a problem I'm having. I just installed Web Server 7, started the Administration Server, and entered the address to the Administration Console, but the server cannot be found. I named the admin server and the web server "core", and left all the other settings on the defaults. The operating system is Windows XP Home SP2. I appreciate any advice on how to troubleshoot. Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by "named the admin server and the web server". Where, exactly, did you input this name?You can normally find the Administration Console at https://127.0.0.1:8989/.

sorry for being vague... during the installation I was given the option to name the admin server, or leave it as the default name (my computer's network name). I was also given the choice to name the virtual server, or leave it as default. I did not keep the default names, but instead gave them both the name "core".

Well I figured it out. I had to reinstall the server, giving the servers the default name. Now it works. I didn't try entering 127.0.0.1 in the browser... maybe that would have worked.Hope someone else finds this thread useful.Message was edited by: seversky
