IIS on XP Professional!!!

[hhammash]

:cry:
Hi all,

I have Windows XP professional. I selected Control Panel/Add Remove Programs/Install Remove Windows Component and insalled IIS.

I check the task manager and see that "inetinfo.exe" is there.

I publish my site, to C: drive but it does not work. I go to computer management, stop IIS and start it again and get a message, IIS is not started.

Is there anything that should be done in XP Professional.

I used to work live online on the Web server, but I prefer to work locally for speed.


Thanks
Hisham

Hi Bud,

I publish my site to the Locall host and I get no errors.

When I try to browse an ASP page it give me that "Page can not be displayed"

Thanks

Open the MMC... Right click the "Default Web Site"
Select Properties... Make sure the "Execute Permissions" on the "Home Directory" tab is set to (atleast) "Scripts only"

If this is set to "None" asp will be off...

Hi Bud,

I checked and followed your instructions. It was not selected.

After that when I publish my web site to the localhost, a message comes after publishing asking me to preview the published website, I click it and instead of opening the browser to show me the site it opens published site folder.

If I go to IE and try to open a DRW from that site, I get the DRW in a design view.

I checked: IIS is running and giving no problems.

Best regards
Hisham

Are the pages that have the Data Results located in a subfolder?

If so... Go back into the MMC, make sure that the "Execute Permissions" on that folder are set to (atleast) "Scripts only" also...

Hi Bud,

When I open the MMC I get only Console1.

I can't open the folder desired web folder.

How can I tell that Frontpage Extensions are properly installed?

I usually work live on the website, and previously I used PWS.

Go into the Control Panel, "Switch to Classic View"...
Open "Administrative Tools"
Right click the "Internet Information Services" then "Send to..."
"Desktop Create Shortcut"
Open "Internet Information Services"

Expand -- Local Computer
Expand -- Web Sites
Expand -- Default Web Site


Open Windows Explorer...
(Right click My Computer and select "Explore" ) Expand C:\
Create a folder to hold your Webs.... Call it "Webs"
Create a folder for your Web in Webs....
In IIS right click the "Default Web Site"... Then New...
"Select Virtual Directory"... Browse to the Folder you created...
(Assume the folder is located in C:\Webs)

Right click the virual folder you just added... Select "All Tasks..."
Select "Configure Server Extensions"

Note: If you have FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 installed you will see "Configure Server Extensions 2002" (Select this one, not the other)

If you do NOT see either of the two choices above... You need to Configure the Extensions on the "Default Web Site" If this is the case right click it, "All Tasks..." Configure the appropriate extensions... Then go back to the Virtual Directory and then Configure them...

With the extensions configured... Right click the "Default Web Site"... select "Properties" Go to the appropriate "FrontPage Extensions" tab... (If FrontPage 2002 extensions are installed select that one) Go to the Setting button and configure how mail should be handled etc...

Once you have the extensions configured...
Publish your site too
http://localhost/NameOfFolderYouCreated

From this point on... It is easier to create subwebs from within FrontPage itself...

The above procedure will leave the Default web installed with IIS intacked... If you need to reference IISHelp etc... You just open http://localhost to get the default home page installed with IIS...

See
http://localhost/IISHelp/iis

Once you have this all done... And your site works... As a note, you can open the location of your published site with FrontPage as a disk based web... C:\Webs\NameOfFolderYouCreated OR as a URL http://localhost/NameOfFolderYouCreated
