Installing Sharepoint on an existing IIS server

[caff]

Hi,

I have a server hosted at a company in Leicester that has IIS 6.0 running with a website on port 80. This is my company website, http://www.*******.co.uk

I want to install Microsoft Sharepoint services front-end on the same IIS server, and secure it with a SSL certificate, such that is accessed through https://sharepoint.*******.co.uk

I've run through Sharepoint setup before on a standalone server for internal use, but I don't know how to get this IIS site publicly visible, as networking is a grey area for me:

1. The domain sharepoint.******.co.uk must point to this IIS site, and
2. Secure the site with SSL, so browsers have to use https://

Any help would be useful

I haven't installed sharepoint for a while so I'm not sure if it installs it as a separate site or if its just a new virtual directory under the main WWW site in IIS ?

If itsa new site then your best bet would be to assign a new internal IP to this site so it can also run under port 80/443. Then you need to assign an external IP to this site and make sure your firewall is forwarding traffic for the new external IP to the new internal IP.

You then have to modify you external DNS records (probably held by whoever you bought the domain off of) to create a new record for sharepoint.domain and then point it at the new external IP
