What is IIS? What does IIS mean?

IIS is an acronym for Internet Information Services and is a World Wide Web server. The Gopher server and FTP server are all contained inside. IIS means that you can publish web pages, and there are ASP (Active Server Pages), JAVA, VBscript generated pages, with some extensions. IIS supports some interesting things, such as the interface with editing environment (FRONTPAGE), full-text search function (INDEX SERVER), multimedia function (NET SHOW) Second, IIS is a file and application provided with Windows NT Server 4.0. The program server is the basic component of setting up an Internet server on Windows NT Server. It is fully integrated with Windows NT Server, allowing the creation of powerful and flexible Internet/Intranet sites using the built-in security of Windows NT Server and the NTFS file system. IIS (Internet Information Server) is a Web (Web) service component that includes a Web server, an FTP server, an NNTP server, and an SMTP server for web browsing, file transfer, news service, and mail delivery. It makes it easy to publish information on the network (including the Internet and LAN).

The installation and operation of IIS is as follows:

First, add IIS, please go to “ control panel & rdquo;, then select “ add /remove programs & rarr; add /remove Windows components & rdquo ;, remove the small hook before the Internet Information Service (IIS) & rdquo; (if any), re-tick and follow the prompts to complete the IIS component. The IIS components added in this way will include all four services such as Web, FTP, NNTP, and SMTP.

Second, the operation of IIS After the successful addition of IIS, then enter "Start → Settings & Rarr; Control Panel & Rarr; Management Tools & Rarr; Internet Service Manager (Internet Information Service)" to open IIS management For the service that has "stop" type, right click on it and select “start” to open.

Third, the method of adding IIS in the Windows XP Home version generally in accordance with the "one" method is only applicable to the professional version of Windows XP, and for the home version, there are now cracking methods: Step 1 First, we need to prepare a Windows 2000 installation CD. Suppose your Windows XP Home Edition is installed in “C:\\Windows”, start the Notepad program, and select Open in the Open dialog box to “C:\\Windows\\”. Inf\\sysoc.inf”, find the "[Components]” section and continue to find lines like “iis= iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,hide,7”, replace this line with “iis =iis2.dll,OcEntry, iis2.inf,,7”, then save the file.

Step 2 Insert the Windows 2000 Professional CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive and use Winrar to open the iis.dl_ and iis.in_ files in the i386 directory of the CD-ROM. The files will be decompressed. Iis.dll” renamed to “iis2.dll”, copy to the directory "C:\\Windows\\system32\\setup\\”; rename "lds;iis. inf" to "lds;iis2.inf", copy to &ldquo ; C:\\Windows\\inf\\” directory.

Step 3 Open the Control Panel, click the “Add Remove Programs” icon, and then click the “Add/Remove Windows Components” button on the left navigation bar of the window, in the open “Windows” In the Component Wizard, select the check box in front of "Internet Information Services (IIS)”. Click the “Details” button in the lower right corner to open a dialog where we can select the content of the IIS components that need to be installed. After the selection is complete, click the “OK" button, return to the interface and click “Next”, the system will start copying files. Tip: If the system needs to insert a Windows XP CD during the installation process, or if you need to provide the "exch_adsiisex.dll" file, it is because you installed IIS by default. To solve this problem, just clear the checkbox in front of the “SMTP Service” option. If you enter the window, the "Internet Information Services (IIS)" option cannot be selected, then it is likely that the "iis.dl_” and "lds; in_”" that you use are extracted from Windows XP Professional, as long as Change to these two files in Windows 2000 Professional. Step 4 After the installation is complete, you can open “Control Panel →Performance and Options →Administrative Tools View“Internet Information Service Management”. Open IE again, type "“localhost" in the address bar and press Enter to verify that IIS is working properly. After verification, several services such as WWW and FTP can be run normally on Windows XP Home Edition after such modifications. However, IIS installed through such processing may have some unknown defects in its operation.

Fourth, installing IIS7.0 on Vista system Compared with the previous version, IIS 7.0 brings many compelling new features and new features, such as the global configuration file based on Microsoft .NET Framework, which is simple. Edited with a text editor or Microsoft Visual Studio; a new IIS manager that manages both IIS and ASP.NET for easier operation; and the introduction of the command line tool Appcmd.exe for daily management, monitoring and configuration of web servers It provides an alternative to the graphical interface, which is simpler and more efficient. Like Windows XP, IIS (Internet Information Services) 7.0 is not installed under the default settings of Windows Vista. To use it, you must first install IIS. Here's a quick introduction to the IIS installation process: Click “Start” => “Control Panel” => “Program”, select “Open or Close Windows Features”. This is a UAC-triggered operation. If Windows Vista does not close UAC, a message will pop up to confirm and continue. If you only need IIS 7.0 to support static content, you can directly select “Internet Information Service” if you want the Web server to support it. For dynamic content, you need to expand the “World Wide Web Service” branch and select all the required options. Click ““OK” to start the IIS installation process. After the installation is complete, open the browser and enter “ld:http: //localhost/”, check if IIS is working.
