IIS 4.0 Downloads 2

[phamilton99]

Can anyone tell me where I can download IIS 4.0 without buying the NT 4.0 Option Pack. Or server is running SP6(A) but only has IIs 3.0 . A few URL's would help.

Thanks

you can buy it, but you can also download it... the download is free i think... here is the link i just found on microsoft.com... try it...

i think it'll work for you... i used to run nt 4.0 sp6a, and i downloaded it for free... if that's not the link. email me, and i'll look again...

Hi

I have downloaded and installed IIS 4.0 on WinNT 4.0 Server.
But i have not been able to get IE to configure it.
Can somebody guide me to any tutorials or books?

Any help is highly appreciated.

What do you mean when you say 'configure it'? Are you trying to set up a web and you can't view it? Are you trying locally or on the net? "It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission." - Rear Admiral Dr. Grace Hopper

Hi,
I am tring to set up a website locally .
Here's what I am trying to do:
Setup an intranet website on a WinNT 4.0 SP3.

What I have done so far:
1. Installed IIS 4.0.
a. Got the default website Running
b. Got the default ftp running

2. Opened IE 5.5 typed

http://servername/

in the address bar
The Response I got was :
Page not Found........

Basically what I am trying to see is whether I have IIS up and running.

Thank you very much for the reply.

Start by making sure your default Internet guest account is enabled.

Then check the web permissions, the default file... um, what else..

Especially the default file name. What is the default file named, btw? I think out of the box, MS only has default.html defined. You would need to add index.htm or index.html, etc. "It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission." - Rear Admiral Dr. Grace Hopper

Thank you very much
Q1. Where do I check for default guest account?
Q2. Do I have to make entries in the hosts file,
If yes what and where (location of hosts file..)
Q3. Do I have to reinstall SP3.

Any ideas highly appreciated.

Before proceeding further, I would recommend that you install the latest NT service pack. If you are using NT4, then this is SP6A. This is the procedure recommended by Microsoft after any software changes to the system. You can find this on the Microsoft web site. You should also apply the latest SP for IIS as this solved a number of problems with IIS. However after doing this you MUST look at the Microsoft web site for the latest security patches, especially if your web site is being viewed by those outside of your organisation. There are a number of very large holes in the security of IIS.

You should not need to make any changes to the host file. However if you need to, it can be found in ..\winnt\system32\drivers\etc. This file can be edited using notepad and should be saved as hosts (with no file extension).

The account used to access IIS depends on what security you have set up. On the Web Site I run, we use NT security, which means that any user with a domain account can use the web site. If you are still having problems
- check what the default page is;
- check what accounts the web services are using.
