Can I set up IIS on a network?

so that several people can easily edit the site before upload?

[dirty_marra]

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but my problem is as follows:

we have a site that up until now has been edited on 1 computer (mine).

the site has now grown so that we need to have it edited on two computers.

I have tried setting up IIS on the new computer but (seemingly because the files are still on the old computer) I can't seem to get IIS running correctly.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

When you say you can't get iis running what is it not doing. I take it that the you pc is runnig xp pro. What is the new pc running. windows server 2003? Also how do you have it setup as a virtual folder or as a website?

Red Eye,

Thanks for replying.

What I did was to go to the following directory in IIS:

>Local Computer
>>Websites
>>>Default Website
>>>>New Virtual Directory

I then went to the "Virtual Directory Creation Wizard" I then tried to select the mapped network drive that I'd set up to point to the website folder on my old machine (Y:). It wouldn't allow me to do this.

I then began messing around by trying to connect to my old computer but realised that I was probably digging the hole deeper.

Any advice or instructions?

PS - Both computers have XP Pro

PPS - I think the main problem is that I haven't got a clue what I'm doing (our web guy set this up and now he's on a year out in Australia!)

Figured it out....I am a complete moron sometimes.

I didn't realise that the IIP effectively sets up a local server.

I thought that this would need to be set up on each individual computer but obviously not.

If anyone ever has similar problem and finds this in the archive all you need to do is point to the correct URL.

This is what you would have been using on the old machine:
[localhost...]

Use this on the new machine
[oldmachinename...]

Sticky me if you need further instruction.

PS - Thanks for the interest Red_Eye
