Getting started

I just installed IIS in WinXP and I think that is ver 5.1. I want it
strictly for testing my website before I actually upload the files. My plan
of attack is this.
1) Install IIS
2) Get help
3) Get more help

I don't find anything very helpful in the help file so what I'm looking for
is links to a site or sites that will take me through the setup and usage
starting immediatly after step 1 above.
Help will be appreciated and the persons responsible for that help will be
held in the highest esteem possible for the rest of my days.

Re: Getting started

What you usually only need to do is place your files in the wwwroot
folder, and then access the website using http://localhost/file.ext

Are you using ASP.NET or any other server-side technique? You may need to
install and/or configure it. Any database involved (not an IIS-question,
but we may be able to help, or atleast point you in the right direction)?

I think you are not finding anything specifically for your situation,
because IIS is very flexible and can be used in many different situations.
So documentating one specific is difficult.
