Version 6
IIS6 (cet-iis6-01.cet.bolton.ac.uk)
IIS 6.0 takes advantage of the latest Web standards like ASP.NET, XML, and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) for the development, implementation, and management of Web applications.
In conjunction with cet-sql2k5-01.cet.bolton.ac.uk IIS6 is used to deploy advanced Web Technology.
ASP and PHP functionality have also been included.
ASP.NET behaviour is provided by the web.config file in the root of your web space. web.config provides a means for the web developer to override the default setting of the server administration.
cet-iis6-01 web pages are only accessible to computers on campus or remote when connecting via the vpn system.
IIS 6 reads web content stored in a special folder on your M: drive. Part of the registration process is to create these special folders. Folders are created by the system when you log on to any GCCT lab desktop (except C1-02) or when you access the cluster systems.
Normally only yourself can access content on the M: drive. To enable IIS 6 to access your web content folder you must ensure that IIS 6 web account bolton.ac.uk\cet001 has the appropriate permissions on the .iis6 folder.
Data stored in M:\.appData.\Webserver\.iis6 is read by the IIS6 web server.

Page files names with file extensions other than htm or html are rendered by process allocated to the file type. That is, if a file extension .aspx is requested from the server the the server will read the contents of the file performing any processing as defined by the ASP.NET 2.0 processor.
