When I Add new web site in IIS and open in browser it shows me the list of directory instead of web page in windows server 2008 R2. I am unable to run application (MVC Asp.net Application). Please help me where I am wrong Or guide me with the steps that I need to perform.
On Windows Server 2008 when a user Open Server manager the user can browse the IIS Manager like this --
And the user can see the server and do other stuff.
Now on Windows Server 2012 the IIS Manager can not be found in the same maner i belive, i need to be found by opening Server Manager and than select IIS Manager, like this --
Now the problem is when i open the IIS Manager i can not see my server name and it looks like this ---
I have also check on Add Roles that the IIS Manager is installed ---
Any one have any idea why i can not see my server name on the IIS Manager on Windows Server 2012
What roles/features of IIS are installed on the 2012 server? If IIS is installed correctly, IIS Manager should show the same layout/options on 2012 as you see on 2008.
I am using windows server 2012 R2. After installing IIS. my website page still shows remote web access is turned off please tell me how to turn it on.
I can't find any information about IIS on my Azure Websites Dashboard. I checked every panel.
You can see the IIS version and other server information in Kudu on the Environment page under the Server variables heading.
The variable name is SERVER_SOFTWARE, for example my web app has SERVER_SOFTWARE=Microsoft-IIS/8.0
To access Kudu, you can navigate to https://[app-name].scm.azurewebsites.net, or you can look for the Advanced Tools blade under Development Tools:
This information is not available on the Dashboard.
You can simply use the Server Variable "SERVER_SOFTWARE" anywhere in your code:
ViewBag.Message = Request.ServerVariables["SERVER_SOFTWARE"];
Here is the result on Azure Web Sites in West Europe data centre.
I believe the IIS version is dependant on the OS Family / Server version you're using on instance. This is very unqualified but I believe 2008 runs IIS 7, 2012 IIS 8 and 2012 R2 IIS 8.5.
Probably the simplest way is to deploy up a server, RDP into it and find out that way...
HTH
Start > Admin tools > IIS Manager (NOT THE 6.0 MGR) > Help > About..: voila
IIS is version 8.5.. on my windows Server 2012 R2
I just launched my test website in Windows Azure this weekend with a single web role. I didn't see any options to specify what OS to use. It is currently using Server 2008 (IIS 7). According to this article though, Server 2008 R2 web roles are available (IIS 7.5). I want to use some specific functionality of IIS 7.5 - how can I upgrade my web role to use Server 2008 R2?
Just specify osFamily="2" in ServiceConfiguration.cscfg.
