Install Internet Information Services comes up upon visiting http://winids page

[ayaan]

Hi,

I'm currently working with winsnort on my final year university project and I've managed to go through the installation, however, I am having issues with the final part where I should be able to see the events in the WinIDS Console when I visit the page http:winids. Rather I am taken to a page which says Install Internet Information Services with a bunch of different welcoming translations. 

I should point out up until this point I haven't had any issues, the only change I've made has been changing the driver path from d:winids etc to w:winids etc as the driver path was already in use.

Any ideas why I am unable to see the events?

Thank you!

I'm assuming that the modder.vbs file was ran, and that there were no problems up to that point.

Open a CMD window, go back to the section labled 'Configuring IIS for the Windows Intrusion Detection Security Console' in the tutorial, and complete.

At the CMD prompt type 'iisreset /restart' (less the outside quotes), and tap the 'Enter' key.

 At the CMD prompt type 'exit' (less the outside quotes), and tap the 'Enter' key.

Open a web-browser and type 'http://winids' (less the outside quotes) into the URL Address box, and tap the 'Enter' key.

Are you able to get to the Windows Intrusion Detection Systems (WinIDS) security console?

I attempted your recommendation and it doesn't seem to be working for me.

I decided to uninstall and try again, however, once at the 'Install Internet Information Service Section' I didn't see an option for windows 8, so I've used the instructions for Windows 7(as this seemed to match my setting best) is this perhaps where I am going wrong?

Also the modder.vbs file is running fine.

Thank you for your help so far

I fixed the tutorial to be more informative for Windows 8.x. Internet Information Services installs on Windows 8.x exactly like Server 2012.
