Where can I get Internet Information Server?

[Spyder757]

I've recently (today) bought a new lap top running Win XP Home Edition. I'd like to be able to have a test envroment to play with web site design.

Where could I download/buy MS Internet Information Server?

I'm reasonably sure that XP-Pro comes with an IIS installer (which installs rather buggily, if that's a word)... Home-Edition, not sure.

IIS comes with Win XP Pro.But you need to configure it in order to wokr with it.

follow these steps..
1.Control panel->Add/Remove Programs->Add/Remove Windows Components
2.Select IIS->Click on Details->Select all services(

http://WWW,SMTP,FTP,MSMQ

etc.)->ok
3.And then click on the next button and follow the wizard.
4.It will ask for Win XP CD..Provide it and IIS Configuration will be complete.
5.To check whether IIS is working or not...Open IE and type

http://localhost

and press enter key. This will open the welcome and help pages of IIS.

.. and from the FAQ for installing Win XP Home (

http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWSXP/home/using/howto/gettingstarted/guide/setupqanda.asp)

Q: I was running a personal Web server before I installed Windows XP Home Edition. I can't find it now. Where is it?

A: Windows XP Home Edition does not include Internet Information Server (IIS), and IIS cannot run on this version of Windows. To run a personal Web server, you must use WIndows XP Professional as your operating system.

Note Personal Web servers are not necessary to create or host an Internet site.


so.. good luck with that
