Turn of IIS on Vista ?

Hi guys,

On XP I would simply turn off the IIS service when I wasn't using it (like
when I played games).

How do I do that on Vista ? I don't see it listed in the services window.
What's the best way to disable it so it doesn't reduce performance ?

Thanks.

Do exactly the same way as you do on XP. The service names are the
same.

IIS7 is not installed by default.

Run

iisreset /stop

....from the "Start", "Run" menu.

When you want it again, run :

iisreset /start

Hi Juan,

I tried that and it doesn't seem to stop it because I went to
http://localhost and the default page still loaded.

Thanks,
Robert

Re: Turn of IIS on Vista ?

Are you looking at a cached page within the browser?

There are way better ways to show that IIS is not running than
something as inaccurate as a web browser. Remember, web browsers are
optimized towards browsing the web, not telling you the truth about
what it actually does in contacting a web server.

IIS7 is not installed by default, so maybe that's why you don't even
see "World Wide Web Publishing Service".

If you do not see "World Wide Web Publishing Service" in Services,
then IIS is not installed and cannot be running. If you see it as
"Stopped" then it is installed but not running.

IIS7 is controlled in similar manner like on XP Pro, so do whatever
you did on XP -- nothing special needed.

Thus, if you say that http://localhost works but you do not see "World
Wide Web Publishing Service", then you're not running IIS and some
other web server is responding to http://localhost. Maybe you have a
network misconfiguration that makes localhost go to another machine.
Maybe you have a rogue service listening on port 80 of your machine.

Re: Turn of IIS on Vista ?

Hi David,

As usual, you are correct. When I did it in XP I would turn off "Internet
Information Services" (or something like that) which would then
automatically turn off "World Wide Web Publishing Service", so in Vista I
assumed it was the same.

I do see "World Wide Web Publishing Service" in the services list so I'll do
as you suggested and simply turn off that when not using it.

In my other post I wrote that I got PHP working as well, so I'm very happy
now.

Thanks for the help.
