about IIS

[Tony Johansson]

Hello!

I use Windows XP and IIS 5.1.

When I write http://localhost/index.htm a page is displayed in the browser.
Because a page is displayed I assume that IIS must be working but there are
something strange
and that is if I look in the taskmanager I can't find any aspnet_wp.exe
which is IIS.

Can somebody explain that.
I mean how can IIS work when there is no aspnet_wp.exe ?

If you do a file search on your Windows folder you will find several
copies (one for each version of .NET).

Hello!

When I now enter this in the webbrowser
http://localhost/default.aspx

I can see aspnet_wp.exe in taskmanager which is correct.
So now it works fine.

Many thanks!!

foobar.aspx is served by aspnet_wp.exe
foobar.html is served by inetinfo.exe
