Configuring Internet Information Server - Intergraph InterServe Web Quick Start Manual

Configuring Internet Information Server

Once installed, Microsoft' s Internet Information Server (IIS) software is essentially configured and
ready for use. You can replace the default Web home page shipped with IIS with your own version.
You can test the IIS installation by using Internet Explorer to view the files in the home directory.
To test the IIS installation:
1. Start Internet Explorer on a computer that has an active connection to the network. You can use
the server you are testing, though it is better to use a different computer.
2. Select Open from the File menu, type the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) with the IP address
of your new server, and press
3. If the default Microsoft IIS home page does not display, verify that the IP address you used is
correct. If the address is correct and IIS still does not display, verify that the InterServe Web
system is properly configured as described previously.
NOTE IIS is automatically upgraded from IIS 2.0 to IIS 3.0 when you install Service Pack 3 as described in
the Service Pack 3 Late Breaking News.
To upgrade to IIS 4.0
1. Insert the Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack CD into the system' s CD-ROM drive.
2. Select Setup Windows NT Option Pack, and complete the upgrade as prompted.
NOTE The Windows NT Option Pack contains more options than IIS; refer to documentation on the CD for
more information.
. The default Microsoft IIS home page should display.
