I have been given a w2k3 server today that is running IIS 6. This is my first time using IIS 6 (I've used 7.x plenty of times) and I cannot find the option to create a new web site, only a new FTP site as seen in the picture below:

The only help I can find via Google is using the assumption that the Web Sites folder is visible. I suppose that I may have been using all of the wrong search t开发者_开发问答erms, but I can't find a thing to help me with this problem. Clearly, this folder should be visible but it isn't and I don't know where to begin with this one.

How can I add web sites in IIS 6 with this happening to me?

Starting to think that I may have to reinstall IIS 6, but I would like some input before I do that.

Remember that IIS does more than just web sites. So you have IIS running but you may not have the web publishing side of things installed - I think you just have the snap-in for IIS and FTP running. I would check with your Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Windows Components > IIS and then click details and make sure that World Wide Web Service is an option you've chosen.

If you can't see the "Default Website" folder then you need to go into ...

(Trots off to look in an IIS6 VM)

Control Panel->Add remove programs->Windows Components_>Internet information services

and make sure:

common files internet information services snapin world wide web service (and it's sub options)

Are all ticked.

Restart MMC, and you should see it appear...
