Fortunately, you do have full Active Server Pages (ASP), Common Gateway Interface (CGI)
(including the new FastCGI), and PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) (originally known as Personal
Home Page) support at your disposal, which means you can still create some interesting applications.
In addition, Server Core provides full Internet Server Application Programming Interface
(ISAPI) support, which means you can also use custom ISAPI modules and filtering.
Installing and configuring IIS using the GUI can be a challenge, but you can usually figure out the
next step with a little help. Trying to perform an installation and configuration from the command
line is a different story. One of the reasons I chose to include IIS in this book is that it represents one
of the more confusing and complex configuration tasks in Server Core. What you really need is a
GUI, but you don??™t have it.
This chapter helps you install IIS, configure a basic Web site, and add content to that Web site.
When you can perform these tasks, you can begin using the Web site for something productive.
You can use the resulting Web site for any static content, including all of those forms your company
uses, standard HTML, dynamic content based on scripts, and a number of other content types such
as file downloads.
