www setting of Win2000 IIS5.0

1. Q: What is the difference between entering "Http://IP address" in the browser and entering "Http://IP address/"? What are they going to do?

Answer: no difference! The previous format browser will also automatically add the following "/"! They all mean "sequentially" to find and invoke the "default document" under the corresponding home directory.

Another, the subject of "IP address" can also be "domain name", the reason is exactly the same.

2. Q: When doing Web pages, the input link with "IP address" and enter "Http://IP address" is the same?

A: Generally you can enter both formats, but in fact they are different. In some of the more specific forms of the Web page, add "http://" and not add is diametrically different things! In those places, the first format is viewed as a directory link under the "Current directory"; the second format looks at it as a separate Web site starting with another "root directory."

Therefore, for the sake of insurance, it is recommended to link to other sites in the Web page, the corresponding domain name (or IP address) before adding "http://"!

3. Q: Why am I in Internet Information Services (IIS Manager), "Default Web site" does not have IP address set, with "http://localhost/" access to all normal, but the "HTTP://127.0.0.1/" Access will pop-up user name, Password, domain validation window.

Answer: normal phenomenon! At this point, whether you use "localhost" or "WY" (native name) can see content, but this content is actually IIS5.0 's help page. For security or other reasons, the system defaults to the hostname (including localhost and the computer name you entered when you installed it), and the IP address must have a username and password--At this point, enter "Administrator" and the corresponding password.
