I will show you in this task how to use three different methods creating a website.

 

Go to START/PROGRAMS/ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS/INTERNET INFORMATION SERVICES (IIS) MANAGER.

 

 

We will first bind our website to a different port.

 

Right click on WEB SITE and select NEW then select WEB SITE.

 

 

Select NEXT on the creation wizard page.

 

 

I will give a DESCRIPTION of FINANCE and click NEXT.

 

 

I will change my port number to 82 from the default of 80 and click NEXT.

 

 

You will need to click BROWSE and place in a path for your home directory.

 

 

I have drilled down on the C: drive to the FINANCE folder in the INETPUB directory.

 

Click OK once you have your path.

 

 

You can see my PATH is in place so click NEXT.

 

 

I would recommend having READ and RUN SCRIPTS (SUCH AS ASP) checked.

 

Now click NEXT.

 

 

Click FINISH.

 

 

I can right click the FINANCE website and select BROWSE.

 

 

You will see my Finance Homepage comes up.

 

 

 

 

 

This is the second way to add a website.

 

I will still be in the IIS Manager area.

 

Right click WEB SITES and select NEW then click WEB SITE…. From the list.

 

 

Click NEXT.

 

 

I will type in ENGINEERING in the DESCRIPTION field.

 

Click NEXT.

 

 

I have clicked the dropdown arrow and selected 192.168.1.106 from the list of IP addresses.

 

I will leave the default of 80 in the TCP PORT box and click NEXT.

 

 

I will again need to click BROWSE and drill down to the correct path of choice.

 

 

I have chosen ENGINEERING under the INETPUB directory.

 

Click OK.

 

 

I can see my PATH is shown correctly so I will click NEXT.

 

 

I would recommend you have READ and RUN SCRIPTS (SUCH AS ASP) checked.

 

Click NEXT.

 

 

Click FINISH

 

 

Now I will right click on ENGINEERING and click BROWSE.

 

 

You will see my ENGINEERING HOMEPAGE comes up.

 

 

 

This is the 3rd way to add a site.

 

Stay in the IIS Manager and right click WEB SITES then select NEW and click WEB SITE… from the list.

 

 

Select NEXT.

 

 

I will again type in a DESCRIPTION of ENGINEERING and click NEXT

 

 

This time I will add a HOST HEADER for the site and call it ENGINEERING.

 

Click NEXT.

 

 

I will click BROWSE and drill down to the directory of ENGINEERING and select OK.

 

 

You can see my PATH is correct and I click NEXT.

 

 

I would recommend having READ and RUN SCRIPTS (SUCH AS ASP) checked then click NEXT.

 

 

Click FINISH.

 

 

You will see here that I have four websites.

 

The three new sites I created have different settings.

 

The Engineering2 has a HOST HEADER VALUE and is on PORT 80.

 

The Engineering has an assigned IP of 192.168.1.106 and is on PORT 80

 

The Finance has a new PORT of 82.

 

 

 

NOTE: The default web site is assigned to all unassigned IP addresses on port 80.

 

NOTE: Two requirements for setting a website up with a Host Header are:

1.      Configure the host header on a web site.

2.      Configure the DNS database to associate the host header name with the IP address.

 

NOTE: You can host multiple web sites on a single computer as long as you specify unique IP Addresses,

             Ports, or Host Header for each site.

 

NOTE: You cannot assign multiple web sites to the same IP address unless you change the Port number.

 

NOTE: You can use the same IP Address and port number if one web site has a different host header name.

 

 

 

 

This Ends The Task
