Is there a way to setup subdomains udner Xp Pro IIS for something like test.localhost
Can it be done via IIS or the hosts file? Need to do a tets on a site that uses pathign back to the root so having the site ina virtual directory like localhost/test causes issues.
As you're probably well aware that out of the box IIS 5.1 only supports one web site. What you can do is use the adsutil.vbs tool to create a second site in IIS 5.1 and configure it to use that.
The following article explains the process:
IIS: Creating Multiple Web Sites within IIS on Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional
There's even a GUI widget to make life easy:
http://www.firstserved.net/support/downloads
So in a nutshell:
Create a second site using one of
the methods above (set the IP
address to your machine's primary IP
address)
Add a host header for
test.localhost domain to the new
site
Edit the HOSTS and add an entry for
test.localhost pointing at the IP
address above
Easiest way is to just switch the document root of the lone site you already have to the different folder with the target site. Then you can switch it back when done.
If you are building stuff in virtual directories off the root, this shouldn't even effect any ongoing projects.
I seem to recall there was a tool which did this for you, but I've forgotten it's name and coordinates.
Create a new website in IIS. The host header value should be your subdomain like "sub.localhost", and then add the domain to your hosts file.
open with notepad the file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
and add this line:
127.0.0.1 mysuper-site.com.net.blabla
Then browse to this site: http://mysuper-site.com.net.blabla

I would like users to be able to type in one word in their browser that will direct them to an intranet site, instead of having to put in the full url. I'm running IIS 7.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2. I've researched and found some suggestions, like adding a site binding, as well as editing the hosts file to add the server IP address with an alias but nothing has worked yet. I do have a virual directory set up that shortens the url, but would like to use just a single word as an alias. How can I do this?
I've attached a screenshot here of my website configuration in IIS - the page I want to set up the short name for is under the highlighted directory Which is also a virtual directory):
i would like configure website under port 80 in iis8.
i need to setup this without changing ipaddress and portnumber.
but it is showing following error message.
could you please help us to find the solution we are running out of time.
You can solve this one of two ways:
Stop the other website that is using the same IP and port
or
Add a host name to your website's binding that makes it unique from the other site(s).
In IIS, each site must have a unique combination of host name, IP address and port number.
There is always a default website on IIS.
Locate it on your left pan of IIS manager by clicking on sites, click on Default Web site and check your right pan, locate the manage website section and stop it.
Then add your website by right-clicking on site and add website, configure it and use default application pool
i'm running sharepoint 2010 foundation, on win7. since installing SP2010, none of my other localhost websites load in the browser. i'm either prompted for a login, or it just returns blank pages. i've tried putting my other websites within the SP-80 directory in iis7, which allowed the pages to load, but required a login. i tried various combinations of windows authentication on different iis7 directories, but nothing worked. i'm left with the impression that iis7 requires a single port 80 directory, rather than distinct, named directors, with separate permissions. the issue could be complicated by having my other sites mapped to a virtual directory, requiring my admin creds, to allow iis access to the files.
my question is, is it possible to host public, unprotected, port 80, web sites, along with SP2010? i'm not very experienced with IIS, so please forgive me if i'm overlooking the obvious.
sure it is possible. While creating WebApplications in SharePoint you're able to specify the port, the WebApplication will run on.
You should have a look at your Site Settings within IIS. SharePoint is by default not running on anonymous authentication mode.
Please analyze if you do have site collections created under Web Application using Powershell or from Central Admin
If you have Web Application created but no Site Collections, then you will get same issue

If you want other sites on IIS on the same port on the same machine, you'll need to declare IIS host headers. When you create a new Site in IIS, there is a bindings section (IIS 7.5 - in IIS6, I believe it's just called Host Headers) - set your bindings to be myotherwebsite.com or myotherwebsite.local. Make sure the names you use in your bindings match DNS names that are pointing to that machine, either through public DNS (if it's a public site) or through your local hosts file (\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) if it's only for your local use.
Going the host headers route, you bypass the sharepoint execution stream completely - set your site up just as you would any other.
I am working under localhost.
In IIS Manager 7.5, windows server 2008.
After adding a new application in "Application pools", I added a new asp.net web application site using that application pool.
The problem is how can I run that website on localhost to check whether the site is working correctly or not?
People told me that I have to add bindings "domains" for that site and run the site using those domains. But that is not convenient as every time adding a new site on IIS, I need to have a domain to check the result?
I think it should be possible to run the site under localhost somehow but I dont know.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
The simplest way is to add a virtual directory to your default web site within IIS. Point that virtual directory to the directory to which you installed/copied your website.
The you can either browse from IIS or type the virtual directory name (preceeded by localhost/) into your browser address bar.
If the problems is with "domains" yo do not have to buy domains. By asigning different port numbers on localhost you can add new bindings.
As I know adding binding is essential for IIS to understand which site should be opened.
For example you can assign port numbers like
80 -default- , 81,82 ... 8090...
We've installed Windows Search Server Express on one of our servers, which apparently runs on top of sharepoint.
Sharepoint was installed on port 80, where our "normal" intranet runs. When I disable the intranet and run the sharepoint site, everything works as intended. The intranet is linked in many places it would be a pain to move it, so I'm trying to move sharepoint to another "place" (hoping this is less of a pain), either a different port or as a virtual directory under the main site.
First, when I make any of these changes, it fails to get access to the intranet root. Not sure what it is looking for there, but ok, I give "Network service" (the acocunt the "Sharepoint 80" application pool is running under) access to the intranet root. This gets me one step further, I am stumped:
When I move the Sharepoint website to another port, it complains that it can't find default.aspx (there is none, but also it doesn't need it when running on port 80)
When I move it to a sub folder of the existing site, and try to open the global.asax in the browser, ti tells me that this extension is prohibited, even though the "Application configuration" is - as far as I understand - identical to that of the Sharepoint site, and allows GET, HEAD, POST, DEBUG for .asax.
Any suggestions?
Sharepoint sites should be able to run on any port- if you go into Sharepoint Central Admin and create or delete web applications without a problem.
Is it your intention to run heterogenously with Sharepoint and your regular site both on Port 80? I know that you can create a web application on 80 and then not have a root site collection ( Sharepoint applications consist of a Web Application that runs on a certain port and any number of Site Collections within that, each of which has it's own directory path and can contain lists, libraries, other Site Collections and so on ) just creating one on a different path, but I don't know for sure how that would work alongside an existing web site on the same port- it may not play nice. Again, you can create and delete site collections from the Sharepoint Central Admin page, which is linked from your Administrative Tools list on your server.I would try this first, as if it works it's an easy solution.
Is Windows Search Server Express related to Sharepoint's own search facilities? If it is you may find that it expects to run using some of the Shared Service Provider facilities, which even Sharepoint doesn't expect to be running on the same port as the sites it's providing services for.
An even better way would be to create another alias (cname) in your DNS for your server, just set a different host header for each web site.
for example, in DNS your machine might be named 'intranet'. Create an alias for that machine named 'sharepoint'
In IIS, create a new website for sharepoint, and set the host header for that site to 'sharepoint.domain.com', where domain.com is your domain.
Do the same for the intranet website, but set the host header to 'intranet.domain.com'
That way, your users don't have to use another port in the URL.
Thank you! I found the option in the sharepoint administration website.
I add this response to detail the steps I have taken - maybe they are useful for someone else.
In the sharepoint administration website (running flawlessly on another port), I chose "create or extend web applications", then "extend existing web application".
There, from the the drop down "Web application", "change web application" opens a popup with the web applications available. Search server was installed as "Sharepoint 80", so I selected that.
Then I selected "Create new IIS website", with a new name and a new port. All the other options looked fine to me as default.
Clicking OK, this creates a new web site in IIS, which was configured correctly. it doesn't work via the IP address of the server (http://192.x.x.x:8080), only using the server name - but that's ok with me :)
I still had to make some adjustments with the access rights, but the full crawl is running and I can find a few documents already. Yay!
This is much easier when you first backup your site and then create a new site from the central admin with a new port number and then restore the backup to it(overwrite)
