zyjsea Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I just learn how to use ASP, and have trouble to install IIS. I followed the ASP tutorial in w3shools as below:Insert the Windows XP Professional CD-Rom into your CD-Rom Drive From your Start Button, go to Settings, and Control Panel In the Control Panel window select Add/Remove Programs In the Add/Remove window select Add/Remove Windows Components In the Wizard window check Internet Information Services, click OK An Inetpub folder will be created on your harddrive Open the Inetpub folder, and find a folder named wwwroot Create a new folder, like "MyWeb", under wwwroot. Use a text editor to write some ASP code, save the file as "test1.asp" in the "MyWeb" folder Make sure your Web server is running - its status can be checked by going into the Control Panel, then Administrative Tools, and double-click the "IIS Manager" icon Open your browser and type in "http://localhost/MyWeb/test1.asp",'>http://localhost/MyWeb/test1.asp", to view your first ASP page First of all, I couldn't find the "IIS Manager" icon in Administrative Tools. When I type "http://localhost/MyWeb/test1.asp" in my browser, the page is not opened. What are the possible problems?Please help. Thanks a lot.

justsomeguy Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 "IIS Manager" is a typo, it's called "Internet Information Services". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyjsea Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'm running Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. I think I have installed the IIS, because I can find wwwroot folder in my C: drive. But I don't know why I couldn't find the IIS Manager icon.Should I type in "http://localhost/MyWeb/test1.asp" or "http://c:/Inetput/wwwroot/MyWeb/test1.asp"?Thanks.

justsomeguy Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 IIS is not officially support on the Home edition, it comes with Professional. You can try these steps and see if they help you:http://www.15seconds.com/issue/020118.htmOr if not, a Google search might provide more information:http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&...-8&oe=utf-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyjsea Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 Finally, I got it fixed. The problem is that I named the file "test1.asp.txt" instead of "test1.asp".Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Moen Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Where do you download the IIS server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I don't think that Microsoft offers IIS for download. It used to come with the Windows NT4 option pack, but now it is included on the CD for Windows 2000, XP Pro, and Server 2003. You install it through Add/Remove programs.
