Introductory Notes
When I bought a new computer, I found
myself stuck with Windows 2000 Professional because now I had to use the Internet
Information Server (IIS). before, I had worked with Windows 98 and the Personal
Web Server. For this later combination, there are lots of tutorials.
However, when I tried to find information about how to install the IIS, I wasn't
so lucky ... But I need a local server to test my UltraDev applications!
The information I
give away in this tutorial are based on what I found basically in the Microsoft
newsgroups, on several mailing lists, and in the different search engines.
So big thanks to everybody who known or unknown helped me with installing and
configuring IIS 
I guess there are tutorials on that, however, I am not aware of them.
Now, it is important to know that I am German. For this reason, I am using the German version of UltraDev 4. So please don't be angry at me if the screenshots I am going to provide are held in German. I will use the English vocabulary in the text. I hope that is fair enough and you will be able to follow.
If there are any questions, don't hesitate to send me an email: steffi@guim.de
Finally, please excuse my English - especially those whose mother tongue I am "violating" here ...
Ok, now on to the first step, installing the IIS.

Written by Marcellino Bommezijn on December 27, 2003This tutorial is good enough for just testing your webpages local, but not for a live webserver. A very good resource for me was the IISFAQ and related websites (also links to Microsoft articles). Also a lot of security issues are covered here. ...

RE: IIS setup and config.
Written by Johnny morris on July 23, 2002It is true that you can only run one 'site' at a time, but it is possible to specify each website as a virtual directory under this site allowing you to run as many 'virtual' sites as you want!!. I have 15 sites running on IIS 5.0. There are ...
RE: A truly appalling tutorial
Written by Grahame Fendle on July 22, 2002You're right, George, I could. However, the tutorials will be consideraly longer and not a quick fix, which is what most people are looking for these days. I'm happy to do it, but I won't be able to post for a few days. Okay?
RE: A truly appalling tutorial
Written by George Petrov on July 22, 2002Well maybe you can post an improved tutorial more concerned about the security?
A truly appalling tutorial
Written by Grahame Fendle on July 22, 2002Doesn't anyone review these tutorials before they are uploaded? IIS under Win2k is one of the reasons microsoft is lambasted over security issues. If you follow this tutorial you will now be running an insecure server with an open mail relay. Well ...
