Hi,<br />
<br />
Is there a configuration file within IIS that defines current existing websites? &nbsp;From yesterday to today one of the sites on my server disappeared. &nbsp;I'd like to recover it gracefully if I could, from backups. &nbsp;The site content folders are still intact.<br />
<br />
This is on a Windows 2008 server.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
