IIS 5.x help

[Violaplayer]

Hi Guys

I am using Windows 2000 Professional and I have just followed the general instruction to install IIS 5.x. Everything seems fine, I saw the Inetpub directory in my C drive.

However, when I try to call up the MMC by clicking Internet Services Manager from Adminstrative Tools, the MMC doesnt come up. I dont know why?

So I tried to type MMC in the RUN. Although it could show the MMC console, it is empty, nothing show under the control root. So it seems the IIS is not working

Please anyone can tell me whats goes wrong.

Thanks in advanced
Viola

Can you reach the IIS from Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Internet Services Manager?

That's the program that would be in the MMC.

Also, check 'Services' in 'Administrative Tools' to see if 'IIS Admin Service' and 'WWW Publishing Service' have started. If not, check your Event Viewer to see why not.

I had a problem with IIS a few months back, it was caused by a bug in my .NET Framework installation. Attempts to update the .NET Framework installation caused error messages.

I had to deinstall IIS, update .NET Framework, and reinstall IIS, then everything worked fine.

Hi Guys

Many thanks for you guys. The problem seem is a little better. Because instead of no response, now my browser can give me an error message after I typed [myIpName...] and it gave me the error message is "The system cannot find the file specified."
I am sure my ip name is right because it works on my Tomcat server. Can you/anyone tell me whats wrong?

However, when I try to call up the MMC by clicking Internet Services Manager from Adminstrative Tools, the MMC still doesnt come up. I dont know why? Then I reinstalled the IIS, switched my firewall and anti-virus system. However I still cant call up the MMC by clicking Internet Services Manager from Adminstrative Tools.

I have checked 'Services' in 'Administrative Tools' to see if 'IIS Admin Service' and 'WWW Publishing Service' have started. And they are all working.

Please help me!

Thanks in advanced

Sometimes iis.mmc can become corrupted. To try creating a new one run mmc from the Run... box to bring up a new empty console.

Go to File Add/Remove Snap-in... A dialog box appears with the focus on the Standalone tab. Click the Add... button to display a list of all available MMC Snap-ins. Select the Internet Information Services snap-in and click add. Close the dialog box and you should now see the IIS management icon on the lhs.

From here you can save your new IIS MMC to overwrite your previous one. Save it to:
%SystemRoot%\System32\inetsrv\iis.msc
