I have installed IIS on my PC according to the guidelines in this link http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/28/installing-iis-on-windows-vista-and-windows-7/ but when I type http://localhost in my browser it displays nothing. What is the reason for that.
They should make it clearer that
IF you are using Starter or Home Basic editions, the result you get is expected.

Today I upgraded my windows 7 ultimate to windows 10 pro. Every thing seems to work fine. But the localhost is now throwing error : HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.
I checked IIS, it is running. I checked the version of IIS from IIS Manager, it is showing Version 10.0.10240.16384.
I test my sites on localhost.
Before upgrade, in windows 7 ultimate it was working fine. I also checked "Turn windows feature on or off" and found that IIS is installed properly.
Please guide me.
Thanks Joe Raio for providing the hint. I checked the event log and found that rewrite.dll was causing error. I uninstalled IIS URL rewrite extension and the problem is gone. Now everything is working as before, classic asp, php, everything.
Please try this solution
Go to the Application Pool ...
Advanced Settings ...
Process Model ...
Identity ...
Set it to "LocalSystem"
I have formatted and re installed new windows 8.1 and installed and enabled the IIS from program and features through the windows component and installed correctly but when I tried to run the localhost to check IIS then its not working and nothing display on the page. There is no any error shows just white blank page. If anybody can help to resolved this issue then that would be good.
I hope you are talking about Static HTML pages? What all components did you install along with IIS? Make sure you have StaticFileModule installed
I have windows 7 64 bit ultimate OS. I need to install IIS on my laptop. From turn on/off windows features I enabled IIS by checking the checkbox in front of IIS management console. But it was not successful and then I re-enabled it by checking all the checkboxes under the web management tool. This time it was success and if I type inetmgr now I can find the window.
But the problem is when I type localhost on my browser address bar page does not come(404 page not found.)
Can you please help me to solve this issue?
I solved the issue. The problem was default web site not running because of port 80 uses by another application. Then I changed the port and re start the web site. Now it is working fine. :)
Close all applications like Skype, DropBox, GoogleDisk, TeamViewer etc.
Type iisreset in Windows Console and press Enter
Start again all applications like Skype, DropBox, GoogleDisk, TeamViewer etc.
Whis way always working for me!
In My System the Problem was not with port. When i installed Apache some iis service has got uninstalled. SO I removed IIS from the features and Add Again, then it works fine.
I am trying to learn ColdFusion and have installed the developer edition (CF10) on my Win7 computer and this brings up the localhost administrator page correctly but I have a test helloworld.cfm file in inetpub/wwwroot and when I try & access this with localhost/helloworld.cfm windows opens a dialogue box saying what program should open this .cfm file?
(in IIS Mime type there is none for .cfm & when I tried to add one it didn't work...).
Several posts on the internet say ensure IIS has CGI enabled and ISAPI Extensions
IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility which I have.
I'm not sure what is wrong here-can anyone advise me clearly & simply if I can view and use .cfm in IIS & how?
We know IIS is the problem because your administrator works, so CF is running correctly.
What I do is the following
create a site in IIS, just basic. no setting changes
install coldfusion 10
During install coldfusion will ask me if it has to configure all current IIS sites
if you let it do that, it should all work like a charm.
Did you do it like this?
I would uninstall and re-install as something must have gone wrong connecting IIS to COldFusion
CF10 does not require the IIS 6 compatibility. If you don't need that for any other web technology connections, then remove that. You do need CGI, .Net Extensibility, ASP.NET, ISAPI Extensions and ISAPI Filters. I believe the connector configurator for ColdFusion especially uses the .Net Extensibilty to "wire things up".
I have been trying for over a month now.
Can't find IIS on Windows 7 Home Basic
I have looked around and read a lot of web pages and tried every suggestion possible but haven't been able to find the IIS snap in (inetmgr) on my Windows 7 Home Basic installation.
I first checked IIS in the 'Turn Windows features on or off' and when that didn't work, I got and installed IIS Express and checked if the InetMgr option was turned on in the 'Turn Windows features on or off.' But nothing has worked.
Please help.
I need to do some ASP.NET development. Please also suggest an web server that will work on Windows 7 Home Basic and will support ASP.NET and PHP. Cassini?
You can use WebMatrix (which uses IIS Express Web Server). http://www.microsoft.com/web/webmatrix/
IIS Express runs on Windows 7 home basic and also supports both asp.net and php
