Ok, did that. Same thing as before – it opens up the ‘windows photo viewer’ window, but still doesn’t do anything.

"Same thing as before" meaning what? Did you see the list of options and check the IIS box?

 

You can also download this...

Ok, from the start menu, I go to control panel > programs > turn windows features on/off – and there they are. There’re 2 of them: 1) internet info systems, and 2) internet info systems hosting web core.

#2) internet info systems hosting web core, is checked.

#1) internet info systems, is not an actual check – it’s either a solid-colored box, or it’s an empty box. I make it a solid-colored box. I ‘expand’ it, and all the subs are colored, too.

 

I then click ok. The machine works away for a while. When it finishes, just for good measure I reboot.

But the damn thing still doesn’t work. I go to PROGRAMS AND FEATURES. I just installed IIS so it should be listed there, but it’s not.

Now the instructions say: “After you have installed IIS, make sure you install all patches for bugs and security problems. (Run Windows Update). ” How do I Run Windows Update?

Here’s something else -

Test Your Web

After you have installed IIS or PWS follow these steps:

1. Look for a new folder called Inetpub on your hard drive

…………….. Ok, found it ……………….

2. Open the Inetpub folder, and find a folder named wwwroot

3.

4. …………….. wwwroot doesn’t exist ……………..

5.

6. Create a new folder, like "MyWeb", under wwwroot

7. Write some ASP code and save the file as "test1.asp" in the new folder

8. Make sure your Web server is running (see below)

9. Open your browser and type "http://localhost/MyWeb/test1.asp", to view your first web page

Well, now you're talking about a Microsoft configuration problem. You may have to research Microsoft's website.

OK, MY SCREWUP! Wwwroot does exist. by the way, I am using classic ASP, if that makes any difference.

12. ………… ….. my browser is google chrome

13. ………… I get ”page not found yahoo error” I don’t quite understand; wouldn’t the address be

14. C:InetpubwwwrootMyWebtest1.asp (which i tried and doesn't work)

[crazyswede]

Maybe I’m reading these instructions wrong. Below is the way I’ve set up my directory structure.

c:InetpubwwwrootMyWebtest1.asp

...or would it be

c:InetpubMyWebtest1.asp
