HTTP Binding missing in IIS

Question

Using IIS 7.5

Under binding type, these are the options that I see... but there's no http option available. Binding type: - net.tcp - net.pipe - net.msmq - msmq.formatname

How can I get HTTP in there? I've tried un-installing IIS and reinstalling it, didn't help..

Answer 1

Go to Control panel --> Programs and Features
1) Turn Windows features on or off
2) Unchecked "Internet Information Services" (IIS) and "Windows Process Activation Service" (WAS)
3) OK ....
4) You must restart your computer
When the Windows started
Go to Control panel --> Programs and Features
1) Turn Windows features on or off
2) Checked "Internet Information Services" (IIS) and "Windows Process Activation Service" (WAS)
3) OK

Good Luck!!

Answer 2

Question was asked quite a while ago but I figured I should post my solution since it ate up quite a bit of time and none of the suggested solutions here fixed it for me.

If you navigate to applicationHost.config, mine was under C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\Config. Open it up and make sure you see http under listenerAdapters. Example shows https but you can do the same for http.

<listenerAdapters>
   <add name = "https"/>
</listenerAdapters>

I faced the same problem on Windows 10, resolved it with ljsg's suggestion. In Console with elevated privileges (Run as Admin):

cd %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Inetsrv\Config copy *.clean.install *. ren *.config *.back ren *.config.clean *. @powershell -Command "Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online –All -FeatureName @('IIS-ApplicationDevelopment','IIS-ApplicationInit','IIS-ASP','IIS-ASPNET','IIS-ASPNET45','IIS-BasicAuthentication','IIS-CertProvider','IIS-CGI','IIS-ClientCertificateMappingAuthentication','IIS-CommonHttpFeatures','IIS-DefaultDocument','IIS-DigestAuthentication','IIS-DirectoryBrowsing','IIS-FTPServer','IIS-FTPSvc','IIS-HealthAndDiagnostics','IIS-HostableWebCore','IIS-HttpCompressionDynamic','IIS-HttpCompressionStatic','IIS-HttpErrors','IIS-HttpLogging','IIS-HttpRedirect','IIS-HttpTracing','IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility','IIS-IISCertificateMappingAuthentication','IIS-IPSecurity','IIS-ISAPIExtensions','IIS-ISAPIFilter','IIS-LegacyScripts','IIS-LegacySnapIn','IIS-LoggingLibraries','IIS-ManagementConsole','IIS-ManagementScriptingTools','IIS-ManagementService','IIS-Metabase','IIS-NetFxExtensibility','IIS-NetFxExtensibility45','IIS-Performance','IIS-RequestFiltering','IIS-RequestMonitor','IIS-Security','IIS-ServerSideIncludes','IIS-StaticContent','IIS-URLAuthorization','IIS-WebDAV','IIS-WebServer','IIS-WebServerManagementTools','IIS-WebServerRole','IIS-WebSockets','IIS-WindowsAuthentication','IIS-WMICompatibility','WCF-HTTP-Activation','WCF-HTTP-Activation45','WCF-NonHTTP-Activation','WCF-Pipe-Activation45','WCF-Services45','WCF-TCP-Activation45','WCF-TCP-PortSharing45','WAS-ConfigurationAPI','WAS-NetFxEnvironment','WAS-ProcessModel','WAS-WindowsActivationService')"

Then reboot, and follow with:

@powershell -Command "Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online –All -FeatureName @('IIS-ApplicationDevelopment','IIS-ApplicationInit','IIS-ASP','IIS-ASPNET','IIS-ASPNET45','IIS-BasicAuthentication','IIS-CertProvider','IIS-CGI','IIS-ClientCertificateMappingAuthentication','IIS-CommonHttpFeatures','IIS-DefaultDocument','IIS-DigestAuthentication','IIS-DirectoryBrowsing','IIS-FTPServer','IIS-FTPSvc','IIS-HealthAndDiagnostics','IIS-HostableWebCore','IIS-HttpCompressionDynamic','IIS-HttpCompressionStatic','IIS-HttpErrors','IIS-HttpLogging','IIS-HttpRedirect','IIS-HttpTracing','IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility','IIS-IISCertificateMappingAuthentication','IIS-IPSecurity','IIS-ISAPIExtensions','IIS-ISAPIFilter','IIS-LegacyScripts','IIS-LegacySnapIn','IIS-LoggingLibraries','IIS-ManagementConsole','IIS-ManagementScriptingTools','IIS-ManagementService','IIS-Metabase','IIS-NetFxExtensibility','IIS-NetFxExtensibility45','IIS-Performance','IIS-RequestFiltering','IIS-RequestMonitor','IIS-Security','IIS-ServerSideIncludes','IIS-StaticContent','IIS-URLAuthorization','IIS-WebDAV','IIS-WebServer','IIS-WebServerManagementTools','IIS-WebServerRole','IIS-WebSockets','IIS-WindowsAuthentication','IIS-WMICompatibility','WCF-HTTP-Activation','WCF-HTTP-Activation45','WCF-NonHTTP-Activation','WCF-Pipe-Activation45','WCF-Services45','WCF-TCP-Activation45','WCF-TCP-PortSharing45','WAS-ConfigurationAPI','WAS-NetFxEnvironment','WAS-ProcessModel','WAS-WindowsActivationService')"

..of course features to install should be adjusted as needed.

Answer 4

I have been having some similar issues, albeit slightly different setup. Mine was with IIS 10. When attempting to add a new site the binding type field was empty, there was no IP address or Port entry fields. numerous uninstall/re-installs didn't work either. In the end was the solution was to replace the config files located in C:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv\Config. Namely the applicationHost.config, administration.config & redirection.config. I pulled these from a clean install. As always you should take a backup before doing this, also please note that replacing these will cause you to lose any existing sites & setup so tread carefully.

Answer 5

I find that most of the answers below are overkill. What's missing is the definition of http listenerAdapter in C:\WINDOWS\System32\Inetsrv\Config\applicationhost.config

Open the file in an editor (as admin), look for the <listenerAdapters> tag. My bet is that it does not list the "http" adaptor.

Add this line: <add name="http" /> immediately after <listenerAdapters>, save and exit.

Issue iisreset command as Administrator; restart IIS Manager - the selector is now in place

Answer 6

I will add this for other dev's who will stumble this issue in the future. The answers above are correct but there are times that you need also to disable

Hosted Web Core Applications IIS feature in order for your findings to be visible.
