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 IIS 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 XP, a default Web site is set up for you. You can publish your content in the default publishing location immediately.
Windows XP Professional with IIS can host one Web site and one FTP site on a single computer. If you would like to host multiple Web or FTP sites on a single computer, consider upgrading to a Windows server product.
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 XP CD, or by downloading it from the Microsoft Web site.
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 pre-installed 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.
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.
On an NTFS file system, you can use a single virtual directory and set the NTFS permissions to grant or deny different types of access to different Windows user accounts.
If you would like to grant or deny access based upon IP addresses and domain names, consider upgrading to one of the Windows server products.
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.
