Error opening VS project after creating my website as https:

I am a newbie on ASP.net. I recently created an SSL website for our company. I followed the instructions on how to deploy a Visual Studio.net web project from my local computer to the server but, now when I open the sln file for the project I get this error message: "The Web server reported the following error when attempting to create or open the Web project located at the following URL: http://localhost/ A connection to the server could not be established." The last thing I did on my project was to change the calls from http: to https: I assume that I am getting an error because my localhost is not a secured website. So how do I go about this? I am using a Windows XP Professional machine with IIS 5.1. How can I point the http://localhost to my new webdomain name or should I just move the whole project to the webserver?

 

I finally fixed it by stopping the service on the IIS then I changed the code on the vb files back to http:. I restarted the service back on again and localhost was working again. ThenI deploy my project on the web. I selected all files to upload on the webserver. I open theproject usingthe web then changed all the http: reference back to https: Everything works fine now. whew!
