How to Install IIS with PowerShell on Windows Server 2016 / VPS

Installing IIS With PowerShell

If you don’t have the GUI installed or just want to use the PowerShell command line interface (CLI) instead, follow these steps. This method is a lot faster than going through all of the GUI options.

  1. Open PowerShell with administrative privileges and run the Install-WindowsFeature cmdlet as shown below.
    Install-WindowsFeature -name Web-Server -IncludeManagementToolspowershell-install-iis
  2. Here we include the management tools so that you can manage IIS on this server, as these are generally installed when using the GUI, making this PowerShell command equivalent with the GUI method below. If you do not plan on managing IIS through this server then you may prefer to not include this option.
  3. Once the installation has succeeded, you’ll be returned to the PowerShell prompt. At this point IIS should be running on port 80 by default with the firewall rule “World Wide Web Services (HTTP Traffic-In)” enabled in Windows firewall automatically.
  4. We can perform a simple test by opening up a web browser and browsing to the server that we have installed IIS on. You should see the default IIS page.

Switching to MPM Event / MPM Worker in Apache (CentOS VPS/Server)

Apache MPM (Multi-Processing Modules) are modules for Apache web server that control the creation of child processes. There are a few different varieties of MPMs available, each with its own type of child process management. The default Apache MPM is Prefork.

Follow the guide below to Disable Prefork MPM and Enable Event MPM on Apache web server. This guide is written for CentOS/RHEL, but should also work with any Apache installation on other Linux operating systems.

Enable Event MPM in Apache

First edit Apache MPM configuration file in your favorite text editor.

vim /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf

Comment out the LoadModule line for mpm_prefork_module, mpm_worker_module, and uncomment the LoadModule line for mpm_event_module in configuration, as shown below.

#LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so
#LoadModule mpm_worker_module modules/mod_mpm_worker.so

LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.so 

 

After making above changes, save the file and restart the Apache service.

systemctl restart httpd

Check Active MPM in Apache

Now you have successfully enabled Event MPM in your Apache server. To verify current MPM enabled on your server use following command.

[root@VPS ~]# httpd -V | grep MPM
Server MPM:     event

That’s it! The MPM has been successfully switched to MPM – Event.

After configuring backups in WHM > Backup Configuration, use the command below to trigger a backup manually, if you don’t want to wait for the next scheduled backup to run.

This command must be run from the server Shell. Log in to shell via Putty, Terminal, or a Shell (SSH) client.

Then, run the command below:

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/backup

The backup process will begin running immediately, and you can track the progress in the backup logs located at: /usr/local/cpanel/logs/cpbackup
