I have IIS5 up and running on my Windows 2000 Pro PC. I am in Internet Information Services' Microsoft Management Console. The book I have, outdated since it has instructions for NT, says to right-click the computer name and choose New-->Web Site. When I right-click there is not New on the popup menu. I verified that I have admin rights on this machine.

 

I tried to follow the book I have to set up other IPs on the machine. It's different in 2000 than the book's NT steps.

 

I did assign the IIS Default Web Site to my machine's IP with port 8080 in MMC.

 

I still cannot create a new web site. Anyone have any ideas?

In the tree under you computer name you should have something like this depending on what you have installed.

 

Internet Information Services
[-]Computer Name
[+]FTP Sites
[+]Applications Pool
[+]Web Sites
[+]Web Service Extensions

Right click Web Sites.

Select New

Then select site.

 

If you don't have the above listed then right click Internet Information Services and select connect. Your snapin might not ne connected to the server.

My MMC looks like this:

 

Internet Information Services
[-] Computer Name
   [+] Default FTP Site
   [+] CustSurvey   <---- I renamed the Default Web Site
   [+]Default SMTP Virtual Server

 

I tried right-clicking and selecting connect on IIS, got no error message, but still I do not have the right-click option to add a new site, but I CAN manipulate the Default Web Site. I right-clicked on everything in there, and tried Action from the menu. No add new :confused:

 

* EDIT * I do have New when clicking the current website, but only an option for New--->Virtual Directory.

I should have read the first post better.

With Win2k Pro you can only run one site and that site is limited to 10 connections at one time. All you can do is modify the default site to add host headers for domains you want to use and add content by editing the files in the default root.

Ahhhh, at least I know nothing is wrong! Thanks Bob!

Bob,

 

For Windows 2003 Server's IIS, can I have multiple ASP applications for one web site? We are going to be doing web surveys on-line, and I figured the best way to control the ability to enter and respond in the survey is to have each survey a separate web application.

 

Also, would you suggest that I keep the surveys in another web site instance on the server separate from our regular web site? If so, is that where I can change fakettp://www.oursite.com to surveys.oursite.com (sub-domain?)

Yes.

Use host headers to create your subdomains.
