Can't Create New Web Site

Hello Everyone,

I'm a college IT student in PA and I'm hoping that
someone can help me with a problem I've been having that
the Microsoft site and knowledge base articles can't seem
to explain. I'm running IIS 5.1 and I can't create a
second web site(other than the default one that was
created when IIS was initially installed). When I right
click on the server icon or the Website folder, neither
brings up the action to create a new web site. The
Action menu is also barren of the option to create a new
site.

Is there any possible setting that could be incorrect or
needs to be setup for this option to appear?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to email
me (whm115@hotmail.com). Thank you!

You are running into one of the limitations of IIS 5.1 on XP Pro. It only
supports one web site and 10 concurrent connections. You will need IIS on a
server version of the OS if you want to have more than one web site.

HTH,

Terry
