I have windows 7 home premium. The version of IIS is Home Premium 7.
I have created a website using DotNetNuke through WebMatrix. The files related to the website are created under the "My Documents" folder. However, when I open the IIS window, I do not see any website that I created in WebMatrix through DotNetNuke. Following are my questions:
1) I would like to understand how WebMatrix configures the website to be run without the website being visible under the IIS console?
2) Where does WebMatrix stores the configuration i.e the port assigned to Localhost (In my case it is localhost:32189)
WebMatrix does not create sites under the full version of IIS. It uses IIS Express. If you want your site to run under the full version of IIS, you need to configure that yourself.
You can usually find the IIS Express configuration file in C:\Users\<your-username>\Documents\IISExpress\config\. Its a file called applicationhost.config.

I have installed IIS 10 On my Windows 10 PC but after installation I cannot find the application either in start menu or if I make a search for it.
I have tried to go to C:\Program files\IIS Express\ but can't understand anything there
I want to see the files of a website.
First you have to understand the difference between iis and iis express. IIS express would only be used by people who don't have access to IIS or want something that is lighter than IIS but more like IIS than Cassini. IIS 7 ships with the operating system and is tightly integrated to Windows. more information you can refer to this link:

If you are installing IIS 10(not iis express), then you can find it in the start menu. If you can’t find it, you may have a problem with the installation. you can refer to the following article on how to install iis. If it is iis express, then you can use it in visual studio.

I am trying to host a asp.net razor v3 website to IIS, but it is not working. I tried multiple options including first creating the website then publishing to IIS, or directly creating a new website under IIS using visual studio 2013. It gives me HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.
Methods to reproduce Error:
Option 1
1) Create a new asp.net web site (razor v3) in visual 2013, and click publish to publish to a directory. Then, add that directory as a website in IIS.
Option 2
1) On the new website window, in visual studio 2013, go to browse and select IIS, and create a virtual directory directory under IIS to save the site.
Then, go to the browser and try to access the hosted site: localhost/sitename, it always produces some kind of errors. Like 503. What am I missing? Please help, looks like I am missing some steps or some configuration changes.
Also, I am trying this with the default razor v3 webiste content and without modifying anything. So, I have not touched any files or anything, I am just trying to upload to IIS.
The correct answer I found was that for some reason you must use the IIS Express 8.5 to test/host that site.
Even the installations on the fresh copies of Windows with Full IIS prior to version 8 did not work on my test machines.
Does anyone have any experience with creating URL rewrites in Webmatrix? Because it uses IIS Express instead of IIS 7, there's nowhere for me to create these rules.
I am deploying to IIS 7 on my production server, so if I need to do any rewrites, I need to make them directly in production to test.
Is there any way I can switch to using IIS instead of IIS Express on my local machine?
I have tried a few things to get local IIS working, but to no avail.
You can install IIS on a Windows 7 or Windows 8 machine by going to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off. Make sure to install enough of the components to get a WebMatrix site working - ASP.NET & the management console for certain.
You can then create a virtual server for the directory your project is in and use the IIS management console to play around with URL rewriting. You may need to install the UrlRewrite module using the MS Web Platform Installer, available here:
http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx
If you need more help getting your local IIS working, give me some more information on how far you've got and I'll try and extend my answer.
I'm attempting to do a second part of a tutorial here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff729689.aspx I'm following the instructions in that I have the OrderServiceProject creating a virtual directory here http://localhost:8087/OrderService. From what I'm seeing, it should be creating successfully, but the OrderService virtual directory doesn't seem to exist according to iis.
I'm completely new to interacting with iis and would appreciate any assistance
You have to select the Web tab in the project properties.
Select your local web servern enter the project url and click on "Create Virtual Directory".
Important Note : Your local IIS server have to be started and binded to port 80. local IIS server is not IIS Express or Visual Studio Web Dev Server.
To open the IIS Manager, run InetMgr in the start menu.
I have an MVC3 web application - it is a set of controllers and views without any DB access at the moment.
In the properties for the WEB App (in vs2010 Sp1) If I select
Use Visual Studio Development Server defaulting to a port 10905 then the app works great from an f5
If Instead I use local IIS WebServer with Use IIS Express ticked my project url is http://localhost:10905/ and the app works great.
But if I use local IIS WebServer with Use IIS Express NOT ticked my project url is
http://localhost/TunnelRats then f5 does not work - I literally get a browser popping up with no content displayed just the url address populated.
I created the virtual Directory (using the create directory button) and looked in the IIS Manager
The IIS Manager uses pool ASP.NET v4.0 which has enable 32 bit apps set to true and an integrated pipeline mode.
If I browsse directly from the virtual directory I get the same problem.
Its seems my IIS has a problem where my IIS express does not have a problem running my MVC 3 app.
I used aspnet_regiis -iru to reinstal v4 into IIS with no effect.
Any Ideas
thanks
Martin
might be that you do not have dynamic content enabled on you IIS.
Easiest way to set up IIS for asp.net this days is to use Web Platform Installer
