Somebody once told me that it's possible to make some kind of alias for your website in IIS, so that users can just navigate to the (intranet) page, without being troubled with port numbers.
E.g.
intranet.company.net:8081
can be aliased to
application.intranet.company.net
I have no idea where to look to create these aliases in IIS, surprisingly enough searching for "alias iis" on Google / SO doesn't give me meaningful hits. Maybe it is simply not possible, but I really thought it was...
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance.
For IIS7, you can configure a website application.intranet.company.net whose sole purpose is to redirect to the actual url, i.e. intranet.company.net:8081.
You can do this several ways, including web.config. The simplest way is to use the IIS management UI. See here for instructions.

Before I have assigning a main domain for my website, and automatically have put my website content on /home/my_name/public_html/ of course with CPanel's GUI, but currently I want to change or reassign other website to my assigned main domain, what the best way for practice, whether just replace content of /home/my_name/public_html/ with linux's command or CPanel have elegant way for do that?
If I understood right:
Go to "Parked Domains" in cPanel and enter the other domains you want to point to the same /home/my_name/public_html/. All domains will be sharing the same content.
If you want to replace the actual domain, I guess you have to ask your ISP to do it. Cannot be done in cPanel, as far as I know.
Hope this helps.
my website opens with xx.xxx.xxx.xxx IP address till friday it was working fine..after wards not able view the site in webbrowser...what could be the problem ? how can we solve it?
My server with this IP is working and can able to view the updated data in database ..but not able to view, or open the page of website.before the website under IIS configuration was stooped and now started again..still no use..am couldnt view Login page at all.My application was developed in classic asp long back.Kindly give me any suggestion to this...its very urgent...
I tried browsing the website in IIS manger(server) .It showing page cannot be displayed.
Thanks in advance.
First, Don't Panic. Staying calm can avoid further damage.
While it's hard to tell what could be the problem, the first thing you can do is to "ping" the domain from terminal.Can you login remotely? "wget" (on linux) will download the files from website, and could help you see if the files on the site are still accessible. Check from different browsers or machines, if possible. I'm no expert in asp or IIS, so won't advice on that front. But once I had faced the same situation with my website. So I just called up the hosting service provider, and it turned out it was their problem, and they brought the server online. If it's okay from their end, you might have changed some configurations in your server or application or there might be some up-gradation changing parameters, or even an accidental deletion/ moving/ renaming of files. Just try to remember what are the things you did with your server and application, before it went down, and also ask your server administrator. That will surely help you understand the problem better, if not help to solve it right away.
Good Luck.
Right I'll try and explain my situation as thoroughly as possible while also keeping it brief...
I'm just starting out as a web designer/developer, so I bought the unlimited hosting package with 123-reg. I set up a couple of websites, my main domain being designedbyross.co.uk. I have learnt how to map other domains to a folder within this directory. At the minute, one of my domains, scene63.com is mapped to designedbyross.co.uk/blog63 which is working fine for the home page. However when clicking on another link on scene63.com for example page 2, the URL changes to designedbyross.co.uk/blog63/page2...
I have been advised from someone at 123-reg that I need to write a .htaccess file and use the RewriteBase directive (whatever that is?!) I have looked on a few websites to try and help me understand this, including http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html however it all isn't making much sense at the moment.
Finally, scene63.com is a wordpress site, whether that makes any difference to how the htaccess file is structured I'm not sure...
Any help will be REALLY appreciated - Thanks.
I run my personal public website on Webfusion, which is another branded service offering by the same company on the same infrastructure, and my blog contains a bunch of articles (tagged Webfusion) on how to do this. You really need to do some reading and research -- the Apache docs, articles and HowTos like mine -- to help you get started and then come back with specific Qs, plus the supporting info that we need to answer them.
It sounds like you are using a 123 redirector service, or equivalent for scene63.com which hides the redirection in an iframe. The issue here is that if the links on your site use site-relative links then because the URI has been redirected to http://designedbyross.co.uk/blog6/... then any new pages will be homed in designedbyross.co.uk. (I had the same problem with my wife's business site which mapped the same way to one of my subdirectories).
What you need to do is to configure the blog so that its site base is http://scene63.com/ and to force explicit site-based links so that any hrefs in the pages are of the form http://scene63.com/page2, etc. How you do this depends on the blog engine, but most support this as an option.
It turned out to be a 123-reg problem at the time not correctly applying changes to the DNS.
new to dreamhost here and have followed the wiki on this but still need some additional help if possible. I want to be able to preview a site while I work on it, before I point the live domain to my dreamhost server. I've added the domain via the Control Panel, and all my files sit in the directory, /home/user/mysite.com - which is correct I think. When trying to follow the wiki with regards the mirroring details, I find that the only option I have is as follows, where I can't change any of these details:
Create the mirror at: mysite.com
Mirror this site: existingsite.com
The existingsite.com is just a live site sitting on the same server space. Is there something I'm missing here? Probably a newb mistake no doubt :)
Mirroring is for you to point a domain to an existing site. Hence this means you can mirror on 1 site. ie. both existingsite.com and mirrorsite.com points to the same server space.
If you want to create a development site, you probably are talking about 2 installations.
In this case, a quick and dirty trick I use is to create a development subdomain, dev.existingsite.com and fully host it. You normally get a /home/user/dev.existingsite.com folder with this. When your site is fully ready, you can edit your fully hosted existingsite.com and point the web directory to dev.existingsite.com. A better way is to SSH in and move the files.
There's an option copy files over in the settings page. Anyway dreamhost live help is pretty good. This is definitely something they will answer.
So I have a site setup on a server. It has been working for ever. All of a sudden it stops working. I tried going to it even by IP. It just says, "Under Construction..
Under Construction
The site you are trying to view does not currently have a default page. It may be in the process of being upgraded and configured..."
I check to make sure it was pointing at the right virtual dir and that the default page was set in the documents list. The default page does exist in the dir too....
Nothing has been changed via code. Nothing has been altered on the server. I have a bunch of other sites running on the same server and they are all coming up. Just wondering if there was something that may have happened or overlooked. Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks a million.
Double check your bindings are set correctly. Perhaps a new site was created which conflicts with the bindings of your site?
Edit
Make sure .net is set to the right version. I've seen where pages are not served up when the web is set to 1.1 on a 2.0 site.
Also does the site work locally on the box? Have you ruled out firewall issues / changes or other network related elements.
It sounds like your request is being handled by another IIS site. Make sure that the host header is set correctly.
With your comment, the "Bad Request" error means that the default web site was handling the request. There are a couple of things you can check:
If this is not the site that you expected to serve your app, then you still have a website identity issue.
If your app is hosted on the default web site, then make sure that the default document is set correctly.
Also make sure that you don't have a file named "app_offline.htm" in your app's root.
Well we rebooted the server and now it works again. I guess I should have tried that in the first place. It was just odd that all the otehr sites were working. Anyway thanks for suggestions everyone.
