First of all..VERY new to this sort of thing

I am trying to run a small forum from home for my high school class reunion. I have a killer dual 2.8 MHz processor system with tomes of storage space and running XP professional. Networking and software is not my game though.

I have registered a site over on no-ip free site.

Can someone help me out??

THX!!!!

Does your server support ASP? Without it, the forum won`t run.
You need to download the forum files here:

http://forum.snitz.com/specs.asp

There is a file in there called readme.htm
It contains instructions for the setup of the forum. If you have questions about it, feel free to ask them here.

I was told that if it isn't installed I could do it through IIS through add/remove

How do I verify that it is indeed supported otherwise??? Is there a routine to run?

Windows XP Pro will run Snitz just fine. Check and/or install IIS from Control Panel - Add Remove Programs - Add Remove Windows Components (IIS is not installed in a default XP Pro installation). Make sure you are logged on as Administrator when you install IIS.

I recommend using the NTFS filesystem.

Manage IIS from Control Panel - Administrative Tools - IIS Service Manager. You can create a new virtual directory / web application using the IIS MMC Snap-in, or you can use a tool like Frontpage or InterDev to create a web app.

IIS is a "service". To see if it's running, open the Services applet from Administrative tools and see if the WWW service is running.


Then just follow the Readme.htm instructions.

I have verified that it is running. I have only created basic web pages and used ftp to get them to a server. This is very new as I said for me.

Thanks again to all for the help!!!!!!!!!

I have created a directory where I installed the Snitz software. is this the virtual directory you are refering to? Do I need to create a web page then link the forum into it?

Where did you install it (which directory)?

You do not need to create a page to link to the forum. The forum can very well be a home page.

To have the Snitz stuff there you'd need to create a virtual directory with the IIS mmc, as Doug told ya. Otherwise you can just put your stuff under a new folder inside the c:\inetpub\wwwroot folder. This is the IIS default base folder, so anything under that will show if you type the URL as:

http://localhost/yournewfoldername

I don't want this in on the main drive so I have to figure out how to invoke the IIS MMC. I have frontpage on my system but never used it. I have just used word to create a basic html page.

Under the services tab, it states the the WWW publishing is "started"

You can find the IIS mmc in Start->Administrative Tools->Internet Information Services
