How to create a new website in IIS management console

Hi,

I'm new to IIS, so please excuse me if this is a really lame question. I've
searched this group, and the web, but can't find a useful answer anywhere.

Note that I want to use IIS as the web server, but I am not using other MS
site building tools such as FrontPage or VS.

In the IIS Management Console I have a website called Default Web Site.

I have created the folder C:\webroot and want to create a number of websites
(eg: site1, site2, etc).

I want the document root for these sites to be C:\webroot\site1,
C:\webroot\site2, etc.

I can set the document root for the Default Web Site to one of these, and
after searching the web, it seems that I sould be able to right-click on the
Web Sites node and select New->Web Site to create new web sites. However,
when I right-click on the Web Sites node, there is no New option.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Andy

Re: How to create a new website in IIS management console

Andy,

The "default" web site should not be used in a production enviroment.
Select it, then at the top, press the "stop" button. (Square, like on a
VCR.)

Next, RIGHT CLICK on the white space on the right, or just on the "websites"
folder.

Go to "new" web site. Complete the wizard.

You will get an opportunity to assign IP addresses used by the network card,
as well as choose the "root" of the folder.

BTW, the plan for the root folders you have is a good one.

Thanks for the response.

That's what I've been trying to do, but when I right-click on Web Sites (or
on any panel) there is no New option.

FYI - W2k / XP Pro only supports 1 website.

Re: How to create a new website in IIS management console

Which OS do you have?

You can only have multiple websites on a server (except vista), so if you
are using Windows XP, you are stuck with one website.
