One thing to watch out for is if you're running Windows 2000 Professional w/ IIS (or is it still called PWS?). They restrict the workstation versions to only run a single web site. If you want to do multiple websites on that machine, you're better off installing apache (www.apache.org).

I've added this line to my "hosts" file: 127.0.0.1 somealias But all that does is send me to the same page as "localhost" I want to make it so that the server treats "somealias" as the root (thereby getting the same file path behavior as I'll get on the production server). I've tried mucking about with the IIS admin and haven't found the solution there yet either.
