Web page hosting on Windows 7
I am using Home Control Assistant to control lights in my house. HCA uses a web page to allow other computers in the house to control devices. I am unable to access the webpages since installing Windows 7. I have enabled the port 9955. I am unable to localhost:9955 and retrieve the webpage either. I have tried turning the windows 7 firewall off. Any ideas on what I missed. ThanksDuane

Hi Duane,Can you ensure that the web server module of your HCA is already started? Jabez Gan [MVP] - http://www.msblog.org

Assuming you set your HOSTS file entry for localhost to 9955, you may need to set the default page type to match the type of the HDA default page (i.e. index.htm? default.asp? and so on) This is set in the web server options. I would also try http://127.0.0.1:9955Rating posts helps other users
