Configuring Default IIS Website

[David Largen]

Hello all.  I am trying to simply configure the default IIS Website and change the default port from 80 to 8080 and the directory for the default website to another directory used in my WiX installer.  I've been trying to use the <iis:WebSite> commands to no avail.  If I modify any of the properties such as Port it thinks I am trying to create a new WebSite instead of referencing the existing one.  I also tried creating a new WebSite but it will not start unless I stop the old site.  The format I used for trying that was:

 

<iis:WebSite Id="XpAppServer" Description="Xpress AppServer" Directory="WebSite">

  <iis:WebAddress Id="AllUnassigned" Port="8080"/>

</iis:WebSite>

 

Does anyone have any insite into what I am trying to accomplish?

 

Thanks,

Dave

If you create your iis:WebSite element in a component it will try to create a new website, but if you declare it outside it will look at the existing website. Try the later one.
