Generally speaking, you??™ll want to produce content for the Web site using applications on your
client system and then move it to the server for testing. This practice probably doesn??™t vary any
from the techniques you already use to work with Web content. Of course, you can??™t use a database
to hold content for your Web site if you plan to keep Server Core self-contained. However, Server
Core can access a database on another server and use the information that server provides to create
a Web page.
IIS 7 can support any content for which you have an executable in the form of a CGI application
or an ISAPI extension. In order to use the content, you must create a mapping using the AppCmd
utility. The ???Adding Support for PHP and FastCGI??? section of the chapter shows how to create a
mapping. You must first register the handler and then create a mapping between the file extension
and the handler. Of course, you can??™t use any managed executables without third-party support.
The lack of managed executable support is the reason that IIS 7 doesn??™t natively support ASP.NET
applications in Server Core.
Managing Windows in a New Way
Creating a Web site using Server Core isn??™t as straightforward as clicking a few items in a GUI utility.
