Milestone 2 (Setup IIS and FTP Server)



     During this IIS setup, I had the most trouble browsing the created website. I would originally browse it using the given url of testingsite.com, but this was not the correct url to use. It did not display the text that I had written. Instead, this url redirected me to a bunch of junk information and text. I had known a little bit afterward that I did something wrong in the setup. It was either that or I did not enter the correct url.

Advanced settings of the IIS Site







     After changing the url to localhost.testing.html, I was able to get my resulting message. This part of the milestone gave me the most trouble and took up the most of my time. After correcting this error, I proceeded to work on the ftp site.


The advanced settings of the ftp site are displayed. After setting rules for the ftp site and changing the port to 21, I am finally going to attempt to wrap up the remaining requirements for this milestone.

 
I checked to see if any of my ports (port 80 or port 21) were being listened to. Entering the command "netstat -a -n" in the command prompt, I was able to discover that none of my two ports were being listened to. It only displayed my two recently created ports as well as a bunch of other varying ports and ip addresses.



After messing around with the IIS Manager, I created another ftp site to see if I could duplicate and fix my problem. After adding a user to the ftp site and configuring the rules of the firewall, I was able to connect to the ftp server through FileZilla.

Quality Assurance at a Chocolate Bar Factory

     If I were to own a small chocolate bar factory, I would make sure that all of the chocolate bars produced were of the utmost quality. This would be established by measuring each produced chocolate bar in different areas.      One of the measurements would include chocolate bar size. A given chocolate bar could not be too big or too small. A chocolate bar that is of invalid size would be discarded and replaced to ensure quality working time management. Another measurement would be the quality of the ingredients.      The ingredients of the chocolate bar cannot be unsafe or unconventional. They need to each be produced the same way in order to maintain flavor consistency. Any chocolate bar that does not meet the standards of the valid ingredients would be discarded and would cease to be produced by my company.
