How to Manage Internet Information Services
Lesson 5 Managing Windows Components
IIS allows you to easily publish information on the Internet, or on your or your company’s
intranet. You place your Web files in directories on your server and users establish
HTTP connections and view your files with a Web browser. IIS for Windows XP
Professional is designed for home or small business networks and allows only 10
simultaneous client connections. It also does not provide all the features that the version
included with Windows Server 2003 provides.
You will use the Internet Information Services snap-in to manage IIS. The Internet
Information Services snap-in helps you manage the content of and access to your Web
and FTP sites. To access the Internet Information Services snap-in, click Start, point to
All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services.
The Internet Information Services snap-in lets you handle all aspects of administration
for IIS. For example, every Web and FTP site must have a home directory. When
you install IIS, a default home directory is created. When you create a new Web site,
you can use the Internet Information Services snap-in to change your home directory.
To change your home directory, in the Internet Information Services snap-in, rightclick
a Web or FTP site, and then click Properties. In the site’s Properties dialog box,
click the Home Directory tab. You can specify a directory on this computer, a shared
directory located on another computer, or a redirection to a URL, and then type the
path in the Local Path text box. Click OK and you have changed your home directory.
If your Web site contains files that are located in directories other than your home directory
(for example, on another computer), you must create virtual directories to include
these files on your Web site. You use the IIS console to create these virtual directories. In
the console, select the Web or FTP site to which you want to add a directory. On the
Action menu, point to New, and click Virtual Directory. This starts the Virtual Directory
Creation Wizard, which will guide you through creating the new directory.
