What is a Web Server? • A Web server is a specialized program that uses the client/server model and the World Wide Web's Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to present files in the form of Web pages to the users. • Source: www.whatis.com By Jimmy Phung
Example of the Use of a Web Server • When we type in: www.calstatela.edu/ats/cbt.htm, we are directed to the web server with the domain name www.calstatela.edu. • The web server then finds the ats directory and the cbt.htm file. It then forwards the file directly back to us. By Jimmy Phung

IIS Installation Process • There are a number of ways to install IIS 4.0. You can download the Windows NT Option Pack from the Internet, or your can install it from CD. • To download the Option Pack from the Internet, you use the URL shown here: http://backoffice.microsoft.com/downtrial/optionpack.asp • To install the Option Pack from the CD, you insert the CD in the drive and run the appropriate setup.exe. By Tom Truong
The minimum installation program is designed to conserve disk space on your system. • The typical installation installs all the components of IIS included in the minimum installation. In addition, it installs the rest of the optional IIS components. Included in the typical installation is the FTP service, the Internet Service Manager (HTML), and help on server administration, content management, and content development. • The custom installation allows you to choose which IIS components you want on the computer, apart from the components that are required and selected by default. • Let’s choose the Custom installation, which allows you to select any combination of components in addition to the IIS component that is required to run the IIS server. By Tom Truong
If you are using IIS on an intranet, you can copy the unattend.txt file from the Option Pack CD to a folder on the local computer (The unattend.txt file is located on the CD in the CPU_Type/inetsrv/directory, where CPU_Type is the processor on the computer where IIS will be installed.) This file allows you to perform unattended installations from that folder. This is useful for performing installations without having to remain at the computer and step through the installation options. • To start the unattended setup, you either place the CD in the CD drive, or make a network connection to the CD drive containing the Option Pack CD. You then copy unattend.txt to your local hard disk and make any necessary changes to install the appropriate components. • At a command prompt, you change to the folder on the CD containing setup.exe, then enter the following path: setup/u:<full path to Unattend.txt>. For example, if the file located in the temp directory on the C drive, you type: setup/u:c:\temp\unattend.exe By Tom Truong
