What have I done wrong – cannot bring up on localhost

Hi Everyone,

Hoping you can help me out here.

I have a wordpress site up and running using IIS. No drama’s.

However, I am in the process of registering a new domain as DynDns have cancelled my free one.

The problem I have now is that whatever I try, I cannot access my site locally.

Can someone please advise exactly what I need to do in order to edit my site locally (whilst my registration comes through).

At the moment, I have the WP_SITEURL set to ‘localhost/blog’.

Within IIS, my Sitename is ‘WordPress’, with the ‘/Blog’ application coming immediately underneath this.

The error I see when I look up localhost/Blog via a web browser is this –

HTTP Error 404.0 – Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
Detailed Error Information
Module IIS Web Core
Notification MapRequestHandler
Handler PHP53_via_FastCGI
Error Code 0x80070002

Requested URL https://localhost:80/Blog/localhost/blog/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2FBlog%2F&reauth=1
Physical Path D:\Blog-Stuff\Blog\localhost\blog\wp-login.php
Logon Method Anonymous
Logon User Anonymous

What I can’t work out, is how the physical path is being constructed, because obviously it is wrong –

It should be –

D:\Blog-Stuff\Blog\wp-login.php

but as you can see from the above error, it ends up as –

D:\Blog-Stuff\Blog\localhost\blog\wp-login.ph

Help appreciated !
