3) Once the default web site is selected, the Stop Item is possible at the top (See Below!) The Triangle to the left of stop item is disabled/gray because the Default Web Site Service is already running. (See Below!)
4) Select the properties Tab. We need to discuss some of the Default Web Site options. (See Below!)
5) You need make no changes on the Web Site tab. I recommend leaving port 80 [default] as the listening port for web applications. You may limit the number of connections or the connection duration on this tab as well. (See Below!)
6) The performance tab enables you to fine tune your site in accordance with the number of hits you expect per day. The higher your selection, the more resources are allocated to your web site functionality. (See Below!)
7) The Home Directory tab enables you to select the location for the web site. By default, this will be on the Winnt installation drive in a folder called Inetpub. This may be moved to another drive or computer. I recommend permitting Directory Browsing initially; you can come back and tighten this security after you get the feel of managing IIS. Our applications will need Read and Write permissions. (See Below!)
8) Add index.asp, index.php, and index.html to your Document tab. Move them to the top. See Below!
