How to Create a Web Application in an IIS Server
Use the New-WebApplication command to create a web application in the IIS server. The following PowerShell script creates a web application.
New-WebApplication -Name "MyApp" -Site "Default Web Site" -PhysicalPath "C:\MyApp\" -ApplicationPool "DefaultAppPool"
In the above PowerShell script, the New-WebApplication command creates a web application named “MyApp” on the “Default Web Site“. The web application files are physically stored in the location C:\MyApp folder, and the web application runs in the “DefaultAppPool” application pool.
The Name parameter in the command specifies the name of the web application that we want to create in the IIS server.
The PhysicalPath parameter parameter specifies the location of the web application files.
The Site parameter specifies the name of the site on which the New-WebApplication command creates an application.
The ApplicationPool parameter specifies the name of the application pool in which the new web application runs.
The output of the above PowerShell script creates a web application in the IIS server.
