Salamz,

I am trying to set up a webpage containing a form on one of the windows server. This will be accessed internally only. The webpage is created in C# using VS2008.

Now, I would like to make it available to the staff. The server (2008 R2) has II7 installed. How do I now configure the IIS so it can be browsed using a web browser.

Do i just drop the files in C: of the folder and then make it as a virtual directory in II7?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
J!

Define a new website (virtual server) in IIS and point it to wherever the form files are located. I’m not sure how IIS will handle C# form, do you mean .NET?

You will also need to enable some features of IIS depending on the code being used by the form. The most common features are ASP.NET, Dynamic content etc.

When you install IIS on the windows server it would automatically create a folder on the hard drive. You just go to that folder and you will find a wwwroot folder in there. you put all your files in there and anyone who points to that server would see it. This is the exact path:

C:\inetpub\wwwroot

PS: @STA: You can always search the web but there are enough people on this forum with all the info who would go the extra mile to help you out. That’s why we have this here. Otherwise we’d just post a sign to hit the (Google) road. :smiley:

Also, you should be able to point to the path tofibaba gave from your browser by typing http://localhost in the url bar. Please make sure that all your file extensions are enabled and mapped correctly.
