Hi all,
My Porblem, my company has a Windows Server 2003, it is used for asp.net
application testing, what I want to do is deploy my .net web site on that server
and let the test users access that web site hosted on my test server.
My question
First, i would like to install IIS 7 on that server, could i do that if not what
version of IIS should I install, I really would like to go with IIS7?
Second, Once the application is deployed how will the test user be able to
access the application( the users are in the same network as the server) what i
mean is what do they need to type in the url of their brower to get to that
application hosted on the test server??? I want it to make it like a intranet
site at testing phase.
Any HELP will be appreciated.
Thanks

IIS7 is not available for Windows Server 2003. IIS6 is shipped, but not enabled
by default.
Please clarify what you mean by "what do they need to type into the
browser?"

About my second question: i just want to type in the server name and it should
display the site for example.
http://servername then press enter, wala my site.
I have just installed the IIS 6 on my server(os windows server 2003) and when i
go to the http://localhost it display the following
Under Construction
The site you are trying to view does not currently have a default page. It may
be in the process of being upgraded and configured.
Please try this site again later. If you still experience the problem, try
contacting the Web site administrator.
If you are the Web site administrator and feel you have received this message in
error, please see "Enabling and Disabling Dynamic Content" in IIS
Help.
To access IIS Help
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open text box, type inetmgr. IIS Manager appears.
From the Help menu, click Help Topics.
Click Internet Information Services.
Anyone why this is and how to fix it. I have not done anything except installing
the iis6.
Thanks

Hello,
You should use DNS server, to give to your server some name and when user like
to open the application to type that name, by example "myserver", the
other way is to type the IP address of the machine, which is not very user
friendly.

Hello,
How I mentioned you should use DNS Server, talk with your network admin to this
do for you - when type http://servername to open your site.
After installing the IIS you should create your default web site, to choose your
home directory and the default starting page. You could find more info about IIS
in http://www.iis.net .
Regards
