How to configure a website with IIS on Window Server 2008 R2

Hi,

Can you provide some basic steps on how to configure a basic web site on Windows Server 2008 R2 with IIS 7.5? This is a non-ASP.Net site. The site is mostly html, htm, css, and image files.

thanks.

To the Default Web Site, I added an application. When I browse to the site, I get a:

HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.

I also see "Multiple Protocols" when I hover over with mouse the Default Web Site.

What can I do now?

After following the steps from tanujchandna, I get the following message when opening up the site:

HTTP Error 401.3 - Unauthorized
You do not have permission to view this directory or page because of the access control list (ACL) configuration or encryption settings for this resource on the Web server.

MlandaT, I don't see any event logs with those event sources with WAS/W3SVC/W3SVC-WP.  I also have the files in the c:\inetpub\wwwroot,  but when I browse the folder, IE says HTTP 404, The web page can't be found. I do have the default.htm in the root of folder.

I got it working, but in a llittle different way.

Under the default web site, I tried adding a virtual directory, but received
“HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable,” when browsed. I also tried adding an application, but saw “HTTP Error 401.3 – Unauthorized”. I noticed several bindings that I did not need, so removed those, but could not remove the HTTPS type. Added my user name to the path where the web site was, but nothing would work.

So, I created a new site with a port of 81 and a binding of HTTP. I also created an application with .Net v2.0, Integrated and Network Service settubgs. Note that my website does not need the .Net Framework. Then I created a virtual directory and “Connected as” with my admin account and the site came up. No problems.

It was not easy. I saw error messages following the steps, and had to do extra steps to get the site up and running that were mentioned in the solutions.
