To publish documents, move your files to the \inetpub\wwwroot directory. Then type http://servername/filename in the address bar of your browser to see your published files. See Quick Site Setup with IIS for more information.
You can use the Internet Information Services snap-in to create virtual directories on your Web site. The topic Creating Virtual Directories contains the procedural information on how to accomplish this task.
When you install IIS on Microsoft® Windows 2000, a default Web site is set up for you. You can publish your content in the default publishing location immediately. For more information, see Adding Sites.
To create multiple Web sites, you must first ensure that each site has unique identification. To accomplish this, you will need to contact your network administrator to either obtain multiple IP addresses or to assign multiple host header names. For more information, see About Name Resolution.
You can use Content Deployment service (formerly known as the Content Replication System, or CRS) to replicate content and settings across machines in a Web cluster. Content Deployment is a feature of Microsoft® Site Server. For more information about Content Deployment service, see the Site Server documentation. For more information on clusters, see Replication and Clustering.
Several Internet services run in a single process, and Internet services are often comprised of other processes. Because of this, Internet services are most effectively shut down and restarted differently from other Windows services. For information about using IISReset.exe, see Restarting IIS.
If you use the Browser Capabilities Component to determine client viewing capabilities, then you should periodically update the file Browscap.ini on your server as newer browser versions are released. You can obtain an updated version of Browscap.ini from the Windows 2000 CD, or by downloading it from http://www.microsoft.com.
For general information on accessibility for Windows, see the Windows documentation. For accessibility information that relates specifically to IIS, see Accessibility For IIS.
For technical support, if this software was preinstalled as part of an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) package, or if it was otherwise included with your personal computer purchase, you must contact the manufacturer of your PC or server for support. Refer to the documentation that came with your PC or server for the telephone number for the manufacturer.
If you acquired this product individually at retail, and have a technical question that you cannot answer by using the online documentation, go to Microsoft Product Support Services on the Web.
You can configure your Web site to respond to both the old name and the new name, provided your network correctly routes both requests to your computer. This way, visitors can still reach your site by using the old name, and will be informed of the new one. For instructions on how to assign names, see Naming Web Sites.
You can add script to your default home page that redirects older browsers either to the correct site, or to a page suggesting a browser upgrade (if the browser does not accept cookies). For instructions on detecting the browser type and redirecting appropriately, see Supporting Host Header Names in Older Browsers.
The IIS snap-in in the MMC is designed to locally administer the computer on which IIS is running, or to administer another IIS site on an intranet. To use the IIS snap-in remotely, you can use Terminal Services.
For remote administration tasks over the Internet or through a proxy server, you can use the browser-based Internet Services Manager (HTML). For more information, see Remote Administration.
It is possible that you are connecting as an Operator rather than as an Administrator. In addition, ensure that you have properly appended the correct port number to the administration site. For more information, see Remote Administration.
In Windows Explorer, select the drive and open its property sheets. On the General tab, the file system type is listed.
At the command line, type convert drive letter: /FS:NTFS. An NTFS drive cannot be converted back to FAT. For more information, see the Windows documentation.
To limit access to only certain computers, select a site in the IIS snap-in, open its property sheets, select the Directory Security tab, and click the Edit button in the IP address and domain name restrictions section. You can grant or deny access to all computers or subnets except those you specify.
On an NTFS file system, you could also use a single virtual directory and set the NTFS permissions to grant or deny different types of access to different Windows user accounts.
Select the site and open its property sheets. In the Directory Security property sheet, under Secure communications, there is an Edit button. If the button is enabled, there is a certificate attached to the Web site. If the button is dimmed, you need to attach a server certificate to the site to use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) features.
No. Each Web site can have only one server certificate attached to it.
Yes. A server certificate can be attached to as many Web sites as you need.
No. FTP sites do not support SSL features.
Yes. Your server certificate is a valuable investment, and is the key to your server's SSL features. To create a backup copy of your server certificate, copy the entire certificate onto a floppy disk and store it in a safe place.
In the IIS snap-in, select an FTP site, open its property sheets, and click the Current Sessions button. For more information, see Performance Tuning.
