IIS is
the Web server I have used. You’ll need your copy of the Windows CD
for the installation and configuration.
Do you need to install IIS locally even if the final site will not be hosted
locally? The answer is: yes. Even if you’re uploading your Web applications
via FTP to Your Web host, installing IIS allows you to view, debug, and configure
your applications Locally before deployment.
IIS comes with most versions of server-capable Windows operating systems, including Windows 2000 Professional, Server, and Advanced Server, Windows XP Professional, and Windows Server 2003, but it’s not installed automatically in all versions, which is why it may not be present on your computer. To see whether you have IIS installed and running, simply navigate to your Administrative Tools menu and check to see if Internet Information Services is an option. Users of Windows 2000 Professional will find the Administrative Tools in their Control Panels, while XP and Server family users also have shortcuts in their start menus.
If the shortcut is not visible, then you don’t
have it installed. To install IIS, simply Follow these steps:
1. In the Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs.
2. Choose Add/Remove Windows Components. The list of components
will become visible within a few seconds.
3. In the list of components, check Internet Information
Services (IIS).
4. Click
Next. Windows prompts you to insert the Windows CD and installs IIS.
Once IIS is installed, close the Add or Remove Programs
dialog. You can check that IIS has installed correctly by seeing if you can
find it within the Administrative Tools menu. If you can, it’s installed.
You are now ready to begin hosting Web applications. Although we won’t
cover the configuration of IIS for external use, I will show you how to configure
IIS to support local development of CFML applications in order that they may
be uploaded to your external Web hosting provider later.
