Migrating a Web Server to IIS 5.0

Using the IIS Migration Wizard

At this point, if you’re migrating from Netscape Enterprise Server 3.5 or Apache HTTP Server 1.3, you can use the IIS Migration Wizard, included on the Resource Kit companion CD, to migrate Web site content and configuration settings. The wizard can also perform a cross-machine upgrade from IIS 4.0 to IIS 5.0, or replicate an IIS 5.0 Web server. Instructions for using the wizard are included on the Resource Kit companion CD.

You will still need to make necessary corrections to UNIX files to make them compatible with Windows conventions, as described later in Converting UNIX File Names and Pathnames and Special Considerations for UNIX Applications. While the wizard replicates application files, you might need to take additional steps to migrate them, as described in Migrating Web Applications. In addition, you’ll need to configure applications and components, as described in the “Configuring Applications” topic of the IIS 5.0 online product documentation.
