I can't connect to the default web site in IIS 6.0 using localhost or 127.0.0.1 or by server name. When I telnet to port 80 with one of these names, there's no connection.
However other web sites are running and I can telnet using any of the ip addresses.
I can ping to localhost where 127.0.0.1 is responding.
The default web site is running. It's not stopped.
check the windows firewall, that has a habit of blocking IIS on a local machine
Is the default site bound to a specific IP address? By default it would display "all unassigned" for the IP, but if you've linked all sites to a specific IP address, then the local IP would no longer be configured on the server and would not answer.
httpcfg.exe did it.
Stop all the sites under IIS, restart IIS and start the one you're interested in.
If this fails delete all the sites under IIS and create from scratch. If this fails, the problem is not with IIS and you'll need to look at what other services are running and start turning them off.
A firewall may prevent some content of your website/website itself from being accessible, so if you have problems with accessing content then check that your firewall is not rejecting content from your site.
The easiest way to ensure that your firewall is not blocking your access to your site services is to use your firewall control panel to allow data from *.(your site url).

I installed IIS on my machine (laptop), and added an new application.
All works fine, but I need to be display my application just locally and prevent browsing it from other machines.
Is that possible? If so, how?
The are several ways to achieve this, but the simplest solution is to block incoming requests using a firewall.
I suppose you use the default Windows Firewall and your web application is listening on the TCP port 80. So open an administration interface (command wf.msc), select "Inbound rules", locate the rule "World Wide Web Services (HTTP Traffic-in)" and disable this rule.
Other ways to achieve the same result:
Using the "IP Address and Domain Restrictions" IIS module with appropriate rules for requests filtering
Modifying site's bindings in IIS (set IP address for example to 127.0.0.1)
I just setup a Windows Server VM on my Azure space, but for some reason the IIS that is configured on it isn't available publicly...
I can open the IIS welcome page trough localhost on the server, but no trough visiting the external IP or the cloudapp.net domain.
Something to note is that I actually CAN reach the server trough MSTSC with the external IP adress...
I tried:
Shutting off the Windows Firewall
Opened endpoints on the non-classic management Azure system
I binded the ip's to the cloudapp host
Checked the online Azure documentation
So I resolved it... Don't know if it's supposed to be that way, but be sure that in Azure your "Source port" is defined to be * and not 80, or other.
That will absolutely not work if you're not defining "*".

I have create new web site in IIS 8. I have configured my web site like this
http://ip:8080/
When I browse it from any public network it is not opening. But If I open is locally it works fine. http://localhost:8080 it is working fine. What I tried I stop all other sites, Default Web site and assign 80 port to my site then it is working fine in locally as well as publically. I don't know what is the issue.
Clearly you have a firewall or other network routing issue. Check all configured firewalls on your server/housing machine, as well as along your network path (router, or other perimeter network devices)
Also if trying to connect through your internet side IP you will want to check any port forward rules on your router (If behind NAT, like most connections are)
My problem is solved. I have opened a 8080 port on Azure management portal. And on VM I have create new rule which points to this port.
I am having an issue getting an IIS 7.5 website to answer when I connect to it using an IP address.
I have a Win2008 Server set up with IIS 7.5. It has only one IP address bound to it (10.10.10.10), and IIS listens on it just fine. I have IIS hosting two websites: defaultsite and mysite. Both of these two are necessary to be present. (To be fair, I have many more sites, but 2 will simplify things.)
Defaultsite is your typical IIS default site and has an IIS binding of "*:80:"
I want to access "mysite" via the DNS name but also the public IP address 1.1.1.1. So I've added the appropriate bindings:
":80:1.1.1.1"
":80:mysite.com"
My DNS and load balancer are moving traffic just fine to the IIS server. Everything works fine when hitting the server via "mysite.com" and I get the defaultsite if I try other ways to get to the server.
The problem is when I use 1.1.1.1 to get to the server, I get there, but I'm still sent over to the "defaultsite" rather than "mysite." My IIS logs and the file contents I retrieve verify this behavior.
Any ideas on how to get an IP address set as the host header on a site binding? (Searching for this situation is vexing; since all my key terms are present any time you work with host headers/bindings.)
Remove the binding for *.80 from the default site and make it respond to 10.10.10.10 and then your other site will get picked up when you type the 1.1.1.1 site. IIS is responding to the request but the rule states 'If any site comes through on port 80, respond to the default site'. The DNS name works because you are going by name and the lookup is not there on the default site.
I have just created an azure virtual server 2012 and made a simple html page.
I installed IIS on it, and added an endpoint to my portal, called it web and set it to tsp, 80, 80, no load balanced.
But when I try to go to my domain, I get an error saying page not available.
I can login to my virtual server and run the page inside. So it works.
But it's blocking outside access.
There is also a firewall rule on the server allowing incoming traffic on port 80.
I am probably missing a step somewhere, but I could not find any instructions on how to do it. It is mostly guess work on my side.
Can anyone help?
Most probably you have forgotten to allow port 80 for incoming connection on the local Firewall of your Windows Server.
UPDATE
Have you correctly mapped "your domain" to the couldapp.net domain of the VM instance? Or are you using the yourname.cloudapp.net directly?
