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

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:
IIS Express Overview

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.

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:

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've just got a new server setup on Windows 2008 Web edition. I'm trying to set the first asp.net 4 application up on it but am having nothing but problems.
The latest is that I'm getting the 404.17 error, which says "the requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler.".
I've done a lot of research on google but most suggestions seem to be to run aspnet_regiis -i to install asp.net 4. I've done this several times both on the Framework and Framework64 folders, but with no success.
I tried changing from the default application pool to a .net4 application pool, which appeared to work at first and I instead got a server error to do with permissions. I fixed that, and immediately the 404.17 error returned.
Other suggestions I've read say to go into the "turn windows features on and off" and make sure .net 4 is selected there under IIS. However on this server clicking "turn windows features on and off" takes me to the standard windows 2008 server manager. I click "add features" there, and only ".NET Framework 3.0 Features (Installed)" is listed and selected. .NET 4 isn't shown there, yet it is selectable through the application pools.
What else can I try to get the website running as I'm at a complete loss now. Its annoying because my old server was easy to manage - I did it all through the server itself without a control panel (Windows 2003), now on my new server I have to manage most of it through Plesk because there is no dns.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I too had the same problem but solved it with simple solution. My program was in framework 4.0 but in application pool was mapped to framework 2.0.
Just changed the frame work in application pool to 4.0.
It worked.
I've finally figured out the problem, and it was to do with Plesk itself.
After delving through some of the thousands of links throughout the plesk control panel I found a page for "Website Scripting and Security". Under there it was set to .NET 2.0. However, even though I'd installed .NET 4 on the server, Plesk didn't know about it. Although the application pool I'd set the website to run under through IIS was .NET 4, it still wouldn't work for some reason.
I then found another page under "tools and settings" for server components, and on that page is a refresh button. Hit that and it suddenly realised that .NET 4 was installed, went back to the website scripting and security page, selected .NET 4, and hey presto, I got a server error (never have I been so glad to see a server error).
I then just had to give the application pool identity read access to the web folder, and the website worked.
I wish I'd paid an extra £15 per month for Windows 2008 Standard edition now so I could manage it all manually without Plesk.
Ensure that you are running this application under a Virtual Directory, also ensure that your IIS has ASP, ASP.Net, ISAPI Extensions And Filters, Static Content installed.
Change the .net framework from 'plesk' panel:
go to Domains
select then domain
Go to 'Domain and Websites & Domains'
Hide Advanced Operations
Go to 'Asp.net Settings'
Go to 'Change Version'
select 4.0
If you don't have the 4.0 option then you must install the framework on your server first.
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".
While developing an ASP.NET application I tried to install IIS Express 7.5 onto Windows XP. I downloaded the installer and ran it - IIS installed okay (I see it in Add/Remove Programs list), but I didn't find anything for controlling it (like the IIS console).
My colleague told me I should use IIS Manager for IIS 6, I installed it, but it only allows me to control IIS 5 that was installed on XP from the very beginning. I tried to install IIS Manager for IIS 7 but when I ask it to connect to localhost it shown an error message saying it can't find Microsoft.Web.Administration assembly which AFAIK is only available on Vista and later versions.
How exactly do I install IIS Express 7.5 and some administration console to control it onto Windows XP?
Currently there is no UI for IIS Express. You can install WebMatrix from following link which provides some basic IIS Express mangement functionality.
http://www.microsoft.com/web/
OR
You can also use IIS Express from command line. Below link provides info about how to start use IIS Express from command line.
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/870/running-iis-express-from-the-command-line/
IIS 7.5 Express can be controlled via integration with VS2010 SP1, WebMatrix and the command line.
From the IIS 7.5 readme
You will most likely need an
Integrated Development Environment to
build web applications over IIS 7.5
Express. Microsoft WebMatrix provides
a simple and integrated user
experience for building both ASP.NET
and PHP websites using IIS 7.5
Express. You can use IIS 7.5 Express
with Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Beta to
build and test web applications
instead of the built-in ASP.NET
Development Web Server (also known as
Cassini). It is also possible to run
IIS 7.5 Express using the command
line.
