    Windows Web Server

    CPE42FB1 Engr. Ariel Isidro
    A web server is a computer that stores and processes request for web pages via the http
    protocol. An application software is installed and configured on such computer to
    function as one.
    The open source community offers various software that allows computers to function as
    one such as Apache web server, nginx and a lot more.
    MS Windows is not left behind with its own Internet Information Service (IIS).
    Objective:
    1. To install IIS on Windows 2008 server
    2. To configure IIS
    3. To test IIS by writing own html pages and allowing a client to access the web
    server

    Procedures:

    1. By clicking the ‘Add Roles’ in the initial configuration window, it will direct you into
    the Add Roles Wizard. Click Next.
    2. Select the Web Server. After selecting, a pop-up will appear for confirming the
    installation of IIS Server and its required features. Click the ‘Add Required Features’.

    3. In the next page, the role services you want to include in your server will be shown. In
    this case, the user chose all the default role services.
    4. To confirm the installation, click Install.

    5. This shows the successful installation of the Web Server.


    6. To test the installation, open a browser and type localhost in the address bar. The IIS
    home screen will appear on the window.

    7. To test again in your Windows client, type the address of the MS Server in the address
    bar showing the same IIS home screen.
    8. To create your own web page, make sure that you have created a sample HTML file.
    The HTML file must be located in C:\\inetpub\wwwroot which is the default location for
    static websites.

    9. To create your own web site, go to Administrative Tools > IIS Manager.
    10. By going through File > Connect to Server, choose the Server you want to connect.

    11. After the server has been made, right click the server then choose Add Web Site.
    12. In this screenshot, the Add Website window is shown. To fill up the contents, you must first put the
    name of the HTML file you had put in the \inetpub\wwwroot folder. For the physical path, choose the
    location of the HTML life which is C:\\inetpub\wwwroot. Next is to indicate your IP Address.
    Lastly, put your desired url name.

    13. Click the


    ‘Default Document’ button.
    14. Make sure that your HTML file is within the Default Document. If it is not inside
    yet, click the Add button in the right window pane and choose the HTML file.

    15. To test your web site within your local server, go to your server’s IP Address on the
    Address server of both the Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 client. The screenshots
    show the successful creation of the web sites.
    Observation

    In this activity, I have noticed that text copied from the Computer cannot be
    pasted into the text areas of the virtual machine. Also, the files and the directories in
    your Computer won’t be available in the virtual machine.

    Recommendation

    I am recommending everyone who will be doing this activity in the future to recall
    the lessons from S.A.D. about creation of basic HTML files as it will be necessary in
    this activity. Make sure to put your files on its proper location and places. If you had
    forgotten where the file was located, time may be lost by doing multiple files again and
    again.

    Conclusion

    I have concluded that I have successfully made web pages by installing and
    configuring the IIS Server. The installation of the IIS Server will be easy as you will be
    guided an installation wizard. The configuration of the IIS server is also easy. By testing
    the web pages, I conclude I can create static web pages in a MS Windows Server 2008.

    Lessons Learned

    By doing this activity, I gained a few set of skills. The first lesson I gained is by
    testing the IIS Server. Even if the task is easy, it is an important learning since it may be
    used in your future work or even in personal reasons. The second thing I have learned is
    the creation of IIS Server. This will be helpful for future System Administrators in
    creating corporate websites that will only be accessed within the corporation. Lastly,
    even if it is just a minor learning, it is important to retain all the lessons you have
    learned from previous courses because it will be helpful if you would encounter such
    situations like on this activity.
