I'm trying to enable SSL in IIS 7 on my dev machine using a self signed cert. This is turning out to be quite frustrating.

I have followed THIS guide and several others that are almost identical. The configuration goes ok, but when I try and navigate to the website I get various errors.

http://localhost/index.htm - Results in HTTP Error 404 - Not Found.

https://localhost/index.htm - Results in Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.

If I go into IIS and remove the https binding from the website then it works as expected (in http only obviously).

I'm gussing that there is something that needs to be set up / configured / installed in windows before this will work?

Thanks.
