| Course Overview | |
| This course will provide you with a basic understanding of installing and configuring an IIS Web Server on MS Windows 2019, along with WordPress and the relevant DNS configuration to allow access.
You will practice installing the Microsoft IIS web components (for Apache based courses, please contact us directory). You will understand the pre-requisites and post installation configuration. You will learn about the concepts of web routing, DNS and integration and co-dependency. Once IIS is installed you will install WordPress which is the industry standard for code-free web design for knowledge based internets & intranets. You will understand how to set up either an internal DNS entry or external DNS (eg, Google Domains) to route traffic to the website. You will understand firewall configuration. Once complete you will install a number of plugins for themes, security, table creation, Google login integration and others (time-permitting). You may take the VirtualBox server home with you although a Windows Server 2019 licence will need to be purchased (or the site migrated). The course is informal and allows time for questions and scenarios to be examined in detail within the class environment |
