INSTALL INTERNET INFORMATION SERVER 5.0

Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) is the Web server software that you can use to create, administer, and host Web sites for the ASP.NET framework. You can install the software from all versions of the Windows 2000 CD-ROM disc. Because Internet Information Server 5.0 is installed by default when installing Windows 2000 in a new installation, you may not need to install the software. If you have upgraded to Windows 2000 from a previous version of Windows, make sure that Internet Information Server 5.0 exists after the upgrade process. IIS comes as a Windows Component and can be installed from the Windows Component Wizard. The Windows Component Wizard becomes available when you select Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel. In this wizard, you should install at least the Common Files, which installs the programs you need to run IIS 5.0: IIS Snap-In, which is an interface for administering your Web sites, and World Wide Web Server, which enables users to access your Web sites. After installing IIS 5.0, restart the Web server. IIS 5.0 services are set to automatically start when your computer reboots, so the software will be ready for you to install the .NET Framework upon rebooting.
