IIS on Vista

Now i'm only a basic web site designer so why on earth do I want to set this up on my Vista machine. Well if you run .asp files then you have to upload them to the web server to see what you've done. So in the past on xp i'd set up a local server to preview them.

Anyway, I couldn't see how to do it simply like on XP (of course) but just so I can remind myself in case I need this again - I need to :

• Go to Control Panel
• Load up Programs and Features
• Left had bar go to Turn Windows features on or off
• Add as many Internet Information Services as possible (I think you'll need to do a reboot here as it didn't seem to work straight off)
• Then to go run and inetmgr
• Then add the virtual folder you want to - fine turning where the physical site is (ie where you actually hold the files)
• Then assign an IP address as if it is on network
• Then you can now view the .asp web site

I know this will probably be blindingly obvious to some of my mates but hey ho might not be if you've come across this on a google search... now to get actinic working on it!

Having a good weekend - as you can tell!!
