Use this property sheet to set the identification parameters for your Web site. For a site IP address to be available on this property sheet, the TCP/IP setting for the site must first be configured on the computer being administered.
Identification
Description
Type any name you want for the server name. This name appears in the tree view of Internet Services Manager (HTML).
Click the Advanced button to configure IP address, TCP port number, SSL port number, and host header name.
IP address
For an address to appear in this box, it must have already been defined for use on the computer being administered in Control Panel. See your Windows documentation for more information. If you do not assign a specific IP address, this site responds to all IP addresses assigned to this computer and not assigned to other sites, which makes this the default Web site.
TCP port
Determines the port on which the service is running. The default is port 80. You can change the port to any unique TCP port number; however, clients must know in advance to request that port number, or their requests fail to connect to your server. A port number is required and cannot be left blank.
Connections
Unlimited
Select this option to allow an unlimited number of connections to occur simultaneously.
Limit to
Select this option to limit the maximum number of simultaneous connections to the site. In the dialog box, type the maximum number of connections permitted.
Connection timeout
Sets the length of time in seconds before the server disconnects an inactive user. This ensures that all connections are closed if the HTTP protocol fails to close a connection.
HTTP keep-alives enabled
Allows a client to maintain on open connection with your server, rather than re-opening the client connection with each new request. Disabling Keep-Alives may degrade server performance. Keep-Alives is enabled by default.
Enable logging
Select this option to enable your Web site’s logging features, which can record details about user activity and create logs in your choice of format. After enabling logging, select a format in the Active log format list. The formats are as follows:
To configure the options for log file creation (for example, weekly, or by file size), or to configure properties for W3C Extended logging or ODBC logging, click Properties.
