  1. Ability to disable IIS Integration and just provide a localhost URL/port for testing sites

    So people would use the HTTP Server of their choice like Apache or nginx.

    • Error While Publishing Web Service in IIS 8

      Hi I am facing problem while publishing a WCF service in IIS 8 express . I have installed windows 8 enterprises in my system.

      I get this error all the time i try to publish my app in iis even i try to publish with administrative privilege, I got the same error.

      Web deployment task failed. (There was an error reading IIS configuration schema from 'C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\config\schema\'.)

      • In IIS, you have the option to "Add Application" which is a folder turn an ASP.NET 4 application.

        I do not use IIS because I use Windows Home Basic, So it would be great! if this were added to WebMatrix.
