Internet Information Services (IIS) is a web server created by Microsoft for use with the Windows NT family. While IIS has been around since Windows NT 4.0, it may be absent from some editions (for example, Windows XP Home Edition). IIS is not turned on by default when Windows is installed. The IIS Manager is accessed through the Microsoft Management Console or Administrative Tools in the Control Panel.
IIS7 or a newer version needs to be turned on in order for manexCloud to work. Turning on IIS is a simple process that can be done by through your Windows Control Panel.
How to Turn On IIS
1. Open your Windows Control Panel. This can be done by searching for "Control Panel" in the Windows search bar or, in older versions of Windows, by going to Start > Control Panel. In the Control Panel menu, select "Programs." Under "Programs and Features," click "Turn Windows features on or off."
2. In the Windows Features box that pops up, click the expand (+) icon next to "Internet Information Services" and tick the box next to "Web Management Tools."
3. Click the expand (+) icon next to "Web Management Tools" and make sure to select the following features by ticking the boxes next to them:
- Application Development Features
- .Net Extensibility
- ASP.NET
- CGI
- ISAPI Extensions
- ISAPI Filters
- Common HTTP Features
- Default Document
- Static Content
4. Click "OK" to save your changes.
5. Install IIS7 (or newer version) with the ASP.NET feature turned on.
6. Once installation is complete, test the IIS web server to ensure that it is working correctly. To do this, open your internet browser and visit http://localhost. If you see the IIS welcome page, the installation was successful.
