Please go easy on me.
I was just given the task to take a new Windows7 computer and turn it to an internet server for an ASP.Net SQL Server 2012 database system.
We will be using IIS7 as the internet server.
I can install the IIS7 and SQL Server but we don’t know how to proceed from that point onwards.
Can you point me in the right direction on where I can get step by step instructions on making this machine ready to be an internet server? We will also be looking for instructions on how to publish the completed ASP.Net application.
after you deploy your site on iis
first check it can be accessed on local network like 192.168.1.2 (your local ip) on other computer with same shared network connection.
then go to router settings and add ip forwarding (under advance settings ) like 192.168.1.2 http
if your service provider doesn’t support static ip you can use http://dyn.com/dns/webhop/ for domain to ip forwarding (this will change domain attached ip when your system ip change).
