Hosting Framework 1.1

[ross.oneill]

Hi,
I have received a request to host a .NET (Framework 1.1) website which
is a web service. I have Windows 2000 and IIS installed. I cannot
tell what version of IIS I have, but I am assuming it is IIS 5 since I
am running Win 2000. Is all I have to do is make sure Microsoft .NET
Framework 1.1 is in the Add or Remove Program List? I also have
traditional asp pages so will they work to?

Thanks
Ross

If you have Win2K, then you have IIS 5. You'll need to not only have the
..NET Framework installed on your system, but ensure that it is
installed/configured properly with IIS. After installing the Framework, run
"aspnet_regiis.exe -i", which is in
"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322" (version may be different on
your pc) to ensure that the Framework is installed in IIS.

As for hosting .NET sites go, there are a number of other considerations to
be aware of (IP addresses, security & performance to name a few).

Good luck.

What he said, BUT:

Don't just run "aspnet_regiis.exe -i" if you are hosting other websites in
your instance of IIS. There is a command line argument to aspnet_regiis
that allows you to select the sepecific website to install .NET to.
