urfage Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I have windows 2003 enterprise setup on my workstation and I would like to run a webserver. After installing IIS6 from Add Remove Windows Components, IIS refuses to function. I had it working on this system prior to a reformat, so I know it does work on this machine. After installing IIS the World Wide Web Publishing service does not show up in services.msc, as it did before. When I try to start IIS Admin serviec I get the following error: Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified. My services are heavily tweaked and I think the problem might stem from it, here is the configuration: Auto: -Cryptographic Services -DHCP -Event Log -HHTP SSL -IIS Admin -Network Connections -PnP -Remote Procedure Call -Security Accounts Manager -Windows Audio -Windows Managment Instrumentation -Workstation Manual: -Applicaion Managment -Machine Debug Manager -RPC Locator -Windows Installer -Windows Managment Instrumentation Driver Ex Disabled: -everything else Do you guys have any suggestions?

casanova Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 do you have a hardware firewall installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urfage Posted May 6, 2003 Author Share Posted May 6, 2003 No, there is no hardware firewall installed, I can't even access webpages from my computer because IIS never gets to a functioning state. BTW I chose the default settings when installing from Windows Components and I ensured World Wide Web Services was selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted May 6, 2003 Veteran Share Posted May 6, 2003 try adding a role in the "manage my server" wizard. with all the security built into server 2003, this might need to be run to enable something.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Veteran Posted May 6, 2003 Veteran Share Posted May 6, 2003 yeah, i agree. sounds like somewhat of a serious problem, like a system file didn't copy during the installation of windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
