IIS - Inetmgr missing in window 7 home basic - Asked By Jem Savery on 02-Sep-11 03:06 AM

hi Friends,

I have recently purchased a DELL Laptop and it is having Windows 7 Home Basic installed in it.

I also enable the IIS using following path:

Control Panel => Programs => Turn Windows Features On or Off

I selected all checkboxes under "Internet Information Services".

But when I try to run "inetmgr" in "run", it gives error

Windows cannot find 'inetmgr'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

How can I enable it please..

Thanks.

Just download the IIS from the internet and install it:

Follow these steps-

go to Start->Run type inetmgr and press OK. If you get an IIS configuration screen. It is installed, otherwise it isn't.

You can also check ControlPanel->Add Remove Programs, Click Add Remove Windows Components and look for IIS in the list of installed components.



To Reinstall IIS.

Control Panel -> Add Remove Programs -> Click Add Remove Windows Components Uncheck IIS box Click next and follow prompts to UnInstall IIS. Insert your windows disc into the appropriate drive. Control Pane -> Add Remove Programs -> Click Add Remove Windows Components Check IIS box Click next and follow prompts to Install IIS.

Try this steps and let me know.

IIS isn’t installed by default when you install Windows.

Follow these steps to install

Click the Start button , click Control Panel, click Programs and Features, and then click TurnWindows features on or off.If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

.In the list of Windows features, select Internet Information Services, and then click OK.

Then,in the list of Windows features, click the plus sign (+) next to Internet Information Services, click the plus sign (+) next to World Wide Web Services, click the plus sign (+) next to Application Development Features, select the dynamic content features you want to install, and then click OK.

Go to Control Panel again,select Administrative Tools,double clicke IIS Manger to configure IIS 7.

Select Default Web Site,then double click ASP.

.Enable  Parent Paths for ASP then click Apply

You can modify Default Document by clicking Default Document,modify binding port by clickingBindings…,modify the phisical web path by clicking Advanced Settings… .

Type localhost or 127.0.0.1 in you IE or Firefox to see the results.

Cheers

You can use WebMatrix (which uses IIS Express Web Server). http://www.microsoft.com/web/webmatrix/

IIS Express runs on Windows 7 home basic and also supports both asp.net and php

persoanlly if you are doing web dev i'd just use visual studios self contained web server

that way you'll get full debugging support
