When I go to the windows services window in Windows 7 (Start ==> Administrative Tool ==> Service), I can't find IIS Service listed! Am I missing something? I just want to restart the service. I have IIS Manager and can open it. Any help is much appreciated, thanks!
It's called World Wide Web Publishing Service, right down near the bottom of the list.

I just got Windows Server 2012 Essentials installed and I would like to set up my dev web projects in IIS on the server. But I can't seem to find how to get to it? When I remote to the machine with my admin account all I seem to have access to is the dashboard.
Can anyone tell me what to do?
Essentials comes with IIS preinstalled, so unless you uninstalled it for some reason, its there already.
I'm assuming you want to get to the IIS 8 admin tool.
In order to get there
press the start button (on your keyboard)
click on the Administrative Tools tile
From there scroll down to IIS Manager and double click
OR
Hold down the windows key and press the R key (win+r)
then type in inetmgr
Apparently is not that simple on ws2012 as I thought, please try following this guide:

I don't think it's whether he has it installed or not, it's that they changed how you GET to it. IIS manager USED to be accessible from Server Manager, but it is no longer so. In 2008 (and earlier, but I don't have a box readily available) from Server Manager, expand Roles, then Web Server. If you click "web Server" You see a "dashboard", displaying events, Services, Best Practices, Etc. WITHIN that, you can click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, and see the sites, and manage and configure the sites on the machine.
In 2012, you can ONLY see that dashboard information, events, service status, best practice, etc. There's no way to navigate into IIS and manage the sites and applications. Up in the top-right corner, the menu "Tools" (Between "Manage" and "View") contains IIS Manager.
I'd LOOOOOVE to see a transcript of the design session where this change was suggested. Mostly just to get the attendance, and then hunt them all down.
Make sure that the IIS Management Console is enabled through via Control Panel -> Programs and Features. From Server Manager, click Add roles and features and follow the prompts.
You can find the inetmgr.exe at the below location:
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv
Or you can run it from the run window
Win + R -> inetmgr -> Enter
I'm a newbie here and have found some of the material really useful. However, I can't seem to resolve this issue: I'm running Windows 7 Professional and don't have an inetmgr.exe file in C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv. I have a number of iis... files but no inetmgr.exe file.
The bigger picture is that I'm trying to get Apache and PHP working on my laptop and am going round in circles trying to get Localhost to work. I keep getting "Webpage cannot be found" and searching the net has led me to believe the inetmgr.exe file might be key to resolving the problem. That and port 80 might be involved somewhere....
In case you haven't already picked this detail up, I am way, way, way out of my comfort zone with this but I really need to get this working for a course I'm taking.
Thank in advance for any light you may be able to shed.
Install IIS:
Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows Features on or off -> Check "Internet Information Services". Select next and follow prompts to Install IIS.
For more info, see this Q&A to check for and install IIS, Check whether IIS is installed or not?
Since this question is the first Google search result for inetmgr not found, and since it can be quite puzzling to not be able to find inetmgr even if the web service seems to be working correctly, I thought I'd annotate it with the most obvious answer for those who actually need the IIS Manager: you have to install the Manager separately from WWW service (it is a separate option to installing IIS WWW service itself).
[Windows 8.x]
First, type IIS in the Start page: if you see Internet Information
(IIS) Manager, you are good to go. If not...
Go to Control Panel, "Programs and Features", then click "Turn
Windows features on or off" in the left pane.
In the "Windows Features" dialog that pops up, make sure that under
"Internet Information Services" you have "Web Management Features"
checked in addition to "World Wide Web Services". (Technically, you
just need "IIS Management Console" under "Web Management Features"
to be checked).
Don't forget to click OK in the "Windows Features" dialog. :-)
Now go to Step #1 and you should see Internet Information (IIS)
Manager as an available icon.
Inetmgr.exe is the executable for IIS. If you are trying to just have Apache and PHP work, you can use WAMP server - this will give you everything you need to start developing with PHP. The site is: http://www.wampserver.com/en/
IIS is a web server and Apache is a webserver too. If you want to use Apache, you donèt need to have IIS installed.
You need to install iis first.

In windows server 2008 R2 I found IIS Server under Roles, not features
I have a Win 2008 R2 Enterprise machine that is running fine several websites each one with its own app pool.
I have no troubles giving permissions (using windows GUI) to IIS AppPool\A, IIS AppPool\B, etc... But today I have created one more app pool "C" and I can't find it in the GUI nor using icacls command. I'm trying to give permissions in a folder to IIS AppPool\C but it says it can't find! I'm including built-in security principals in the search and if I type any of the existing app pool identities windows finds then Ok. The problem is just with this new one.
Does anyone knows what is going on?
I don't know if it is reladed but the only change made to this server was to enable .net 3.5 WCF Activation for http and non-http. After enabling this, I got error in all my .net 4 sites and fixed by running aspnet_regiis.exe /iru as described here http://devonenote.com/2010/06/could-not-load-type-system-servicemodel-activation-httpmodule .
Turns out you need to start the associated IIS application for the first time before you can see your application pool in the windows GUI!
I have a web application asp.net to deploy to Windows Azure. I try to run it on local first. But when debugging, I catch this error from VS2010:
"There was an error attaching the debugger to the IIS worker process
for URL 'http://127.255.0.0:82/' for role instance
'deployment16(6).WindowsAzureProject2.WebApplication3_IN_0'.
Unable to start debugging on the web server ......."
I've search so hard to find the solution for this problem but there's nothing seems work for me. I'm a newbie in Windows Azure, it's really a big trouble with me.
I had similar problem with Windows 8, debuging a cloud application with Visual Studio 2012 RTM and Azure SDK 1.71, when trying to launch the application into the compute emulator. It was a very simple app, but I used Azure diagnostics. At the end these are two things I have changed that have work for me, both turning on Windows 8 features (so go to Win8 and open 'Turn Windows Features On/Off'.
Activate the checkboxes for:
Internet Information Services Hostable Web Core
Internet Information Services > World Wide Web Services > Application Development Features > ASP.NET 4.5
Internet Information Services > World Wide Web Services > Health and Diagnostics > Tracing
Internet Information Services > Web Management Tools > IIS Management Scripts and Tools
That worked for me, it makes sense, as I'm using Visual Studio 2012 and trying to get some trace information using diagnostics in Azure.
I hope this will work for you or give some tip about the problem. In the case of being useful information, remember to vote as response or as value tip.
Thanks,
Mike
This usually happens when there's a problem with the project to be deployed to the emulator (WindowsAzureProject2 in your case).
Try the following:
Check %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\dftmp\IISConfiguratorLogs\IISConfigurator.log file for the error messages. See more details in this answer.
Make sure your project can be started without the emulator. It's a web project, so just try to start it as a regular web project. Or publish it to the separate folder and try to create a website in IIS of it.
Check your *.csdef and *.cscfg files to make sure all the configuration is correct.
Make sure that the build output of your project is not empty. You can do this by going to IIS, find the site with the name similar to deployment16(6).WindowsAzureProject2.WebApplication3_IN_0, right click --> Explore.... Make sure that this folder is not empty and contains all the files required to start a web project successfully.
BTW, there's a similar question: Debugger can't connect when starting local azure project
Follow step 11 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35448. Worked for me on Windows 8 with Oct 2012 SDk
I just have today the same problem trying to Debug locally with Azure Storage Emulator in Windows 7. So in the Azure project properties, in Web tab, I checked the radio button 'Use IIS Express' and it debugged without problem. I hope this helps someone.
I encountered this exact same problem when I upgraded an existing Azure solution to the Azure SDK 2.1. After some hunting around I uncovered that the upgrade had automatically set the "Local Development Server" setting to "Use IIS Web Server".
Changing the "Local Development Server" setting to "Use IIS Express" fixed the problem immediately.
To access this setting right-click the Azure cloud project file in your solution, select the "Properties" option, tab down to "Web" and you'll see the following setup.
Also, make sure you run Visual Studio as administrator
Please check the version of emulator you have installed. If your code is created in older sdk and you have a new emulator installed it will give you this error.
Check the version of Azure APIs in your project, go to Project > references and right click on Azure dlls to check the version, same sdk version must be installed on the system, higher are optional as azure 2.x are not backward compatible.
Hi I want to acces, open "inetmgr.exe" on my Windows 7 machine. But none of the searches are working. ( Start Menu --> Search Program and Files NOR Search in My Computer).
I somehow want to access inetmgr.exe of IIS(InternetInformation Services).
So can anyone kindly let me know the
default location of inetmgr.exe or any
DOS command to access it. I even
tried typing "inetmgr.exe" in command
prompt. But not working. So PLz
somehow I need to access inetmgr.exe.
Thanks in advance.
It should be available in following location:
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\InetMgr.exe
But when you goto start menu and type inetmgr.exe it should be visible in the list. If not then something wrong with your installation or that file has been deleted.
At first check IIS is installed or not.
For XP
Open Control Panel
Add-Remove Windows Components.
For Windows 7 / Windows Server 2012
Open Control Panel
Programs and Features
Turn Windows features on or off.
I had the same issue. Go into Control Panel -> Programs-> Turn Windows features on or off.
Click on features for Internet Information Services. Specifically, Web Management Tools and Wold Wide Web Services.
For Web Management Tools
->IIS 6 Management Compatibility
->IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility. (or any other features you think you may need)
I had the same problem on Windows Server 2016 with it not wanting to search. IIS Manager (with our normal websites) was showing in the Start menu but IIS 6 Manager was not (where the SMTP Virtual Server settings are located).
Luckily you can launch it from within Server Manager:
Yes, I installed IIS and still couldn't find InetMgr.exe until I went back to
Turn Windows features on or off
and then checked
Internet Information Services
Web Management Tools
IIS Management Console
