Step 1. First of all Open the Administrative Tools from the START Menu.

Now within the Administrative Tools, there is several options will be available within the list among that you need to choose the IIS Manager and so double-click on that to open it.

Step 2. Now the IIS Manager Window are going to be opened. On the left hand side you'll see a pane named Connection Pane, within the Connection Pane a Server node are going to be available, you need to expand this Server node and so right-click on your Server name and so choose the option named Add FTP site.

IIS 8.0 Hosting UK - HostForLIFE.eu :: Testing Web Site using SSL on Localhost (IIS)

clock October 22, 2014 06:49 by author Peter

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a cryptographic protocol developed by Netscape to supply communications security on the net. cryptographic technology uses 2 keys to encrypt data, one for public (public key) and another for recipient (secret key). SSL enabled websites communicate with a web server employing a security channel (secret key) that prevents tempering, eavesdropping (or merely say hacking). SSL is presumably used for a login section, payment system, on-line banking industry etc that's very sensitive info for a company or person. after we enable SSL for a web site the address can begin with "https://" (indicating hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) rather than "http://".

To test this, you ought to have IIS installed. there's no need for further software like Visual Studio or any other web site development kit because only one hypertext markup language file can be tested. Follow the steps to enable SSL on Windows Server 2012 operating system; another operational System may have a slight distinction.

1. Open the IIS Manager and choose root computer name -> and double click on "Server Certifications". look at the image given below.

2. Now within the window that seems you'll find "Server Certificates" that are already installed. No problem if another one already exists, I recommend to delete all by choosing each and build a new one. If you're not using your system to host an expert web site then, delete all. Look at the correct panel; you'll find "Create Self-Signed Certificate"; click on it. You'll be prompted to enter the friendly name for SSL and click on OK button.

3. After clicking on the OK button you'll realize a new SSL entry. Currently navigate to "Site List" and right-click on that to choose the "Edit Binding" option. Consider the image given below.

4. When you click on "Edit Binding", you'll get a new window requesting a protocol type. There is also 3 or four items, in my example there's only 1 by default that's "http". No downside if you've got many more. at least one ought to be there. now click on the "Add" button and within the window that appears choose the "Type" to "https" and "SSL Certificate" to "yourSSLname". after you are done, i recommend to delete all other protocol types, only keep https. shut the little window listing protocols at the end.

5. Now everything is configured and enabled for you. Let's take a look at it. Please note I only have the only protocol "https". Since browsers by default use http you've got to use here https while requesting via browser.



IIS 8.0 Hosting - HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Fix: "HTTP Error 404.17: The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler"

clock September 22, 2014 08:09 by author Peter

PROBLEM

I got this issue when I deployed my ASP.NET 4.5 site on IIS 8.0 in Windows. When I hosted a web service project in IIS and browse that, got error with code

HTTP Error 404.17 – Not Found
The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler.

This especially obnoxious error occurs when you are trying to run a ASP.NET application in IIS 8. This happens because ASP.Net is not installed correctly for IIS7.

1. On IIS, Click on Application Pools in Application Pools look for the website name you added in IIS.
2. Right click on website and select Advanced Settings

3. Within the "Edit Application Pool" dialog, set the ".NET Framework version" to ".NET Framework v4.0"

4. Right click on Connection Name and then click Refresh
5. Now browse the website
