I've got so far with this and hit a brick wall. I have set up 4 web sites on one server in IIS:
Default Web Site (myserver.mydomain.com)
D:\websites\default\
Apple (apple.mydomain.com)
D:\websites\apple\
Orange (orange.mydomain.com)
D:\websites\orange\
Pear (orange.mydomain.com)
D:\websites\pear\
I have configured the site bindings using the command line as per this guide and it now looks like I want it to. When I do appcmd list sites it returns the following:
SITE "Default Web Site" (id:1,bindings:net.tcp/808:*,net.pipe/*,net.msmq/localhost,msmq.formatname/localhost,https/*:443:,state:Started)
SITE "apple" (id:2,bindings:https/*:443:apple.syfire.gov.uk,state:Started)
SITE "orange" (id:3,bindings:https/*:443:orange.syfire.gov.uk,state:Started)
SITE "pear" (id:4,bindings:https/*:443:pear.syfire.gov.uk,state:Started)
Results:
"myserver.mydomain.com" returns the error Server Error in Application "DEFAULT WEB SITE"
HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden
The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory. despite there being a Default Document configured (index.html). EDIT: If I switch Directory Browsing on it shows the contents of D:\websites\default\ (as it should) and I can navigate to index.html, but when it's off it can't seem to find the file itself.
"apple.mydomain.com" works fine and shows the default page stored in D:\websites\apple\.
"orange.mydomain.com" and "pear.mydomain.com" return error Server not found (Firefox), Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage (IE).
I'm sure I've missed something critical to this operation! Thanks.
Try replacing * with the ip address that you are listening on. This is what I used to get something similar to work in IIS 6 on Windows 2003.

I just started looking at IIS on Windows10.
I have a stupid question. I added a binding to Default Web Site ("www.test.com") in IIS Manager.
I was expecting to see the default page when browsing to this url, but it took me instead to an actual existing page.
Can anyone explain me why?
If you've added www.test.com to your bindings, clients (like your web browser on the same system) still don't know that IIS hosts the site.
see this: Setting up a Host File - Faking URLs
This is useful when dealing with multiple sites:
Site 1:
test.com
www.test.com
www2.test.com
Site 2:
another.url.com
with just listening to a single IP, you cannot control which request ends up at which site, this is what the binding solves
I have a default website and 2 applications underneath it. One is a WCF service on "http,net.tcp". The other is an asp.net site.
When I browse to the service, static files, the asp.net site or the default website I get a blank 404 response. The raw response in fiddler is "HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found"
I've tried reinstalling IIS. I thought it might be the handlers so I've had a look at the list but they exactly match a machine that does not have this issue.
The local 'hosts' file is empty and the machine.config file has not been manually edited.
(I can still connect to the service 'dsxwebservice' with tcp, and this issue has only been present for a few days, probably triggered by some change I've made to the configuration / install)
Have you seen Diagnosing 404 errors on IIS 7 and ASP.NET MVC?
You can also see if Failed Request Tracing can shed some light on your specific scenario.
Skype was hogging port 80
I came to this conclusion from using this on the command line:
netstat -ano
Then finding the PID against port 80 in Task Manager
Then quitting skype and seeing the issue go away.
I resolved the conflict by changing Skype settings to leave port 80 alone. This also explains why the 404 was not an IIS styled 404 page and why there was nothing in the IIS logs - just a question mark against the default website icon.
I have created a website and virtual directory in IIS 7.5 and map the root folder to this website.
I put Host Name blank and browse the website by typing http://localhost:82/ in browser.
Website running properly.
Now I put abc in Host Name text box and browse the website following error display:
This page can't be displayed
•Make sure the web address http://abc:82 is correct.
•Look for the page with your search engine.
•Refresh the page in a few minutes.
Is there anything I'm missing?
Thanks
I got answer.
Actually I have to make en entery in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts for abc hostname
I have a website set up on IIS 7.5. The host headers are working, the pages are returning fine. But when the browser requests an image, I get a 404 message. And I noticed that in the 404 details, the "Physical Path" that is specified is on the "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\images...".
The reason this is so strange is that the website is on the "D:" drive: "d:\inetpub\wwwroot\images...". The physical path is configured properly on IIS (I've done this a million times) but when attempting to serve images, it's using the wrong drive... why? Where is it getting this? I'm competently experienced with IIS for more than a decade and I have never seen this before. WTF??
You probably have two web sites binding to the same IP address, and one of them (with the physical path shown) is being honored.
If you add your application/virtual under the one website that's not being honor, you will see this error.
You need to set up the application under the web site that's being honored by IIS when using the IP.
I am completely newbie with IIS. I have Win2008 with IIS 7.5 installed. I can start "Default Web Site" via IIS Manager GUI , but I get "HTTP 404 error - webpage cannot be found" while trying to browse it. What webpage is expected ? I have index.htm & default.aspx under c:\inetpub\wwwroot ... Also , I am not sure where to look for the logs. What is the best way to troubleshoot? Thanks for you help!
Are you sure you are accessing you website through out the good port? Check in your IIS configuration for your default web site, maybe it is not set to port 80 (which should be the default).
Also, many other programs like Skype may use this port already and IIS is not able to activate the website because the port is already in use.
You should try to set the IIS default website port to something else than 80.
Give it a try!
Check your default website mode, I guess its process was stopped. Try to restart the process. If you get any "Process is being used" error, try to close the exe's like skype of any third parties which refer the 80 port.
