On an IIS server with Application Request Routing, new server farms to be routed to can be added by right-clicking Server Farms -> Create Server Farm.
This will pop up a dialog where the settings for the server farm can be entered. I did not manage to find a way to edit or view these settings after they are accepted in the Create-Serverfarms-dialog.
My question is therefore: How can I edit the target-url, http-port and https-port settings of a server farm outside of the create-serverfarm dialog?
You could use the command line to do so.
For example, lets say we have a Server Farm called test with one application server www.example.com in it:
All the following commands need to be run in the %windir%\system32\inetsrv directory unless you have it in your PATH.
To change the target-url of the application server to www.google.com, use:
appcmd.exe set config /section:webFarms /"[name='test'].[address='www.example.com']".address:www.google.com
You can change any parameters the way you would do it with the dialog (and even more).
To get the list of parameters you can use with the command line:
appcmd.exe set config -section:webFarms -?
And particularly the section you seem to be interested by:
And finally, to view the current config of your server farm:
appcmd.exe list config /section:webFarms
Should get you something like:

Update:
You may generate PowerShell script from IIS Manager.

Also, you may edit C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config file manually.

Not sure if this is controlled in ColdFusion Application.cfm in root directory or through the IIS webserver.
But I am trying to setup multiple subsites off of 1 Root Website using the same ColdFusion code, then setting a distinct data source by sniffing the URL ie: www.root.com/bob and using cgi.http_host.
So I can use the same code and different URL such as:
www.root.com
www.root1.com
www.root2.com
But I need to setup a separate site each time in the webserver (that is fine and understood).
But I would like to run the same code on same root website but on a subdirectory.
So I'd like to run:
www.root.com/test
www.root.com/test2
www.root.com/test3
www.root.com/newsignup
And all these subdirectories can then run the same code, without having to setup multiple websites in IIS.
Is this easily done using ColdFusion? or is it all IIS mapping?
Your code is located somewhere like
E:\path\to\wwwroot
In IIS, you have a site setup with that folder as web root. That site has a primary domain
www.someDomain.com
Then you want to serve the same code under different domains:
www.anotherDomain.com
myCFsite.someExistingSite.com
myCFsite.anotherExistingSite.com
www.YetAnotherDomain.com
In IIS, you'll have to set these up as domain aliases for your site. Look for "Bindings" in IIS Manager. You can also do this by editing the website.config file that will be created in your web root.
If you need different settings to be loaded per domain, you'll have to update your application. I usually set up database tables that map a list of those domains to their settings. That way you can lookup by cgi.http_host to find and cache settings.
<cfif !structKeyExists(application.settings, cgi.http_host)>
<!--- Look up settings, then cache them here. --->
<cfset application.settings[cgi.http_host] = ...>
</cfif>
Now you can reference settings per domain throughout the same code base.
I've got an FTP site on a server with IIS 6, and I need to set up a second server (this one with IIS 7) to have the same FTP setup.
I've done the following:
appcmd list site /config /xml > SomeFile.xml [on the first server]
appcmd add site /in < SomeFile.xml [on the second server]
... which works out fine. Only problem: I'm missing my authorization rules, not just for the base FTP site, but all the individual virtual folders as well.
Is there any way to extract the authorization rules from the site (and all its virtual folders) and then inject them into another site? Or is there a better way of tackling the problem?
We installed Microsoft Workflow Manager on our SharePoint farm. When we first added the WF node, we configured not to allow http. For testing, we want to how allow HTTP.
The command update-WFHost does not seem to have a parameter for -EnableHttpPort.
We can remove the node and add back but was hoping to be able to make the change via a command.
Open IIS Manager.
Select Workflow Management Site in left pane.
Press "Bindings" button in right pane.
Add binding for HTTP protocol (port must be different from port for HTTPS).
Open PowerShell and execute cmdlet Register-SPWorkflowService with setting value of parameter "WorkflowHostUri" to new http binding.
I have a test Sharepoint server running on a Windows 7 machine. The url is http://liu-t500-01 and i want to create a user friendly alias http://temp for it. i have added
127.0.0.1 temp
to my hosts file (an A/host entry) and i have also created an alternate access mapping in Central Administration
http://liu-t500-01 Default http://liu-t500-01
http://temp Intranet http://temp
However when i try http://temp in the browser the sharepoint site does not come up. This is probably a simple problem but has me scratching my head...what did i do wrong?
Changing the IIS binding only will cause errors. You need to modify the alternate access mappings in SharePoint. There are tons of good articles our there that tell what to do in detail.
Here is just one: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/Video/ff679917
Try adding a host header in IIS
In IIS click on your site
choose the Bindings action
Click Add
In the Host Name field enter "temp"
click OK
I have a Windows 2008 Server with IIS7 on it and a web page running under the name, let's say myApplication. I have a domain name that points to the IP of my server, let's say myApplication.com.
In order to access my application I have to enter http://myApplication.com/myApplication.
If I write http://myApplication.com/ I arrive to the IIS7 start page. Is there a way (besides rewriting the iisstart.htm to make a JavaScript or meta-data redirect) to automatically open the myApplication when someone enters "http://myApplication.com/"?
What I would like is the following:
The user enters in the browser: "http://myApplication.com/"
He/she is taken to "http://myApplication.com/myApplication"
In the URL bar of the browser only "http://myApplication.com/" shows and everything inside the application is relative to this URL.
Generally when I configure IIS, I set the properties for the "default web site" to a folder that doesn't contain anything, then create individual entries within IIS for each web site. For example, you would create a new entry for "MyApplication.com" and set its home directory to the proper folder on the server that contains your root files (usually c:\inetpub\wwwroot\myapplication.com\ but it could be anywhere you like).
It sounds as if you have created a folder for your application, but do not have a specific entry in IIS configured to handle the requests and load files from the proper folder.
If you have a dedicated IP address for the application, be sure to specify that IP within the site settings for that site. If you're using a single IP for multiple sites, configure the IP AND hostnames/domains that will be used to access that site so IIS will know which site entries belong to which domains and where to route the requests.
