IIS 6.0 Default Web

You can still do the same with IIS6.

Notice that on IIS4/5, the UI nodes look like:
+ Computer Name
+ Default WebSite
+ Default FTP Site
+ Another Website

On IIS6, the UI nodes look like:
+ Computer Name
+ Application Pools
+ FTP Sites
+ Default FTP Site
+ Web Sites
+ Default WebSite
+ Another Website


On IIS4/5, to edit "Master Properties" for Websites, you right clicked on
"Computer Name" and selected Properties

On IIS6, you right click on "Web Sites" node and select Properties.

If you run IIS6 in IIS5 Compatibility Mode, in addition to functionality
loss, you will notice that the UI also reverts back to the IIS5 way of
organization.

In your case, I think you just need to right-click properties for "Default
WebSite" and change its Port # directly and be done with it. That's all you
needed to do to begin with.

Regarding why you set the port to 70 to begin with -- that is totally
unnecessary. Multiple web applications should be able to share port 80 -- a
single web server running on port 80 can theoretically host billions of
websites and web applications. What you are doing makes sense only if two
applications are trying to exclusively use port 80 -- that is where a
conflict can arise, and you need to bind the applications to different ports
exclusively.

In IIS 5.0 and 4 there was a way to set the default web to something other
than default web. We did this by opening IIS, right clicking on the
properties of the server, then by clicking on the edit button for the Master
Properties (WWW Service). I could then choose the service tab and then
change the Default Web to the Officescan web I created. The Officescan web
port was set to 70 instead of using Port 80. Once this change was made I
could then install the officescan server software correctly and have a
correct installation of Officescan product. After the install I would go
through and change the default web back to Default web. Here is why we did
this. We are using Trend Micro Officescan server. We prefer to have
officescan communicate over Port 70 leaving port 80 free for other apps.

Now in IIS6.0 I do not see a way to accomplish this. What am I missing?
Trend did not have a solution for this but did say they were coming out with
a newer version of officescan to be compatible with Windows 2003 and IIS
6.0. Is there any work around I can use until the newer version of
Officescan is ready??
