Virtual Server 2005

Posted: 03-04-2006, 11:01 AM
Anyone got the above working?

I can install it, but it wont install the web based admin, so its not much
use.

my other option is to write an app to allow me to create virtual servers
etc, anyone know of such an app?

Virtual PC is no good as it breaks glass when you run it.

I have just install it without the webadmin bits, then I copied them from
another PC, but when I goto the admin site, IE downloads the EXE, IIS7 does
not execute it server side like its meant to, I have allowed script and
executables in IIS but it seams like its not honoring the setting.

to be honest, I don't think iis7 is stable at all, its causing me no end of
trouble.

IIS 7 is a bit difficult at the moment - I tried running some of my
www.zacknet.co.uk files locally on our network, and even that fouled up
horribly. It really doesn't like PHP files at all, and some of the pages I
created as tests such as AJAX pages and Perl pages just errored all over the
place. I think they'll get it fixed mind you ) There doing an awful lot
with it!

I got Apache working, but virtual server 2005 doesent work with it, i get
funny error about the installation not being correct, i think this is due to
my XCOPY install of the website.

After installing IIS7 using the command documented in the Release Notes
Addendum, I had no trouble installing Virtual Server 2005 R2 on 5308.

How are you installing IIS7?

I haven't tried any. I don't normally use IIS on my workstations, it's
only installed because Virtual Server 2005 needs it for the web admin.
