∟Reviewing IIS 5.0 Settings

This section provides a tutorial example on how to review IIS 5.0 settings for the Web server like port number, log file folder and Web page document folder.

If you are serious about managing your IIS server, you should go to the properties dialog box on the Default Web Site on Internet Services Manager, and review all the settings. Here are some interesting ones:

TCP Port on the Web Site tab - 80 is the default. But you can have any other numbers.
Log File Directory on the Properties button on the Web Site tab - Remember this directory if you want to look at the files.
Local Path on the Home Directory tab - c:\inetpub\wwwroot. This is where the Web pages will be fetched, processed and delivered to the client.
