Intranet creation on IIS

[minignaz]

Hello,

Im trying to construct an intranet page for my work, problem is Im not entirely sure hw to do this, I have some basic pages created, but Im not sure how to set them up to run properly on my server (windows 2000), I know I have IIS installed, but Ive never used it, and dont know how to make the pages accessible to the staff.

Can anyone offer assistance?

I set up our works intranet a year or so ago but i'll try to remember...

Your first page will have to be named as 'index.htm', or '.html' (as you probably know) and placed in whichever folder you'll have as your root - this is chosen via the IIS console.

Open up IIS and right-click on the default website and click on 'Properties'. In the 'web site' tab rename the site to something relevant to you and if its a purely internal intranet, choose the IP address that is local 192.168.x.x (use the drop down). In the 'Home Directory' tab note where the folder is linking to (you can alter this location to your liking) and place your site pages/folders/data within that folder.

Return to the IIS console and right-click on the site name, and click 'Start' to get it running.

Theres more to setting it up but this should get you started.
