  Create Web site. Am I missing something? Reply Contact Hello, I have IIS installed on my Windows 2008 server and when I access on a browser my ip: http://xxx.xx.xxx.xx I see the IIS page. The same happens when I access: http://xxx.xx.xxx.xx:80 Now I created a new web site on port 80 and added the bindings: mydomain.pt, www.mydomain.pt, mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com It is on the same IP and port 80. I access it using any of the domains and I get "Server not found". Am I missing something when creating a web site? On the web site folder I have a index.html with some text on it. Thanks, Miguel

  Re: Create Web site. Am I missing something? Reply Contact Your link is about IIS5. I am using IIS7. I don't have most of the options described on that article in my IIS7  I created the web site, choosed a folder for it, an application pool and selected the bindings (which I think creates the host headers). For example the first binding is: http://mydomain.com   Port 80 Isn't this enough? Can someone please be specific of what else do I need to do? I am not able to find the solution. Thanks, Miguel

  Re: Create Web site. Am I missing something? Reply Contact Make sure all the domains resolves to the same ip address.   For testing, you can set all domains using the local hosts file,  http://weblogs.asp.net/steveschofield/archive/2007/03/04/how-to-use-a-hosts-file-to-test-a-site-that-uses-host-headers-on-an-intranet-and-internet.aspx if you are going to have all domains resolves to the same site, just have all assigned and you'll be fine.   Host-headers would be another way to have multiple websites on the same box, using the same ip address Steve Schofield Windows Server MVP - IIS http://weblogs.asp.net/steveschofield http://www.IISLogs.com Log archival solution Install, Configure, Forget

  Re: Create Web site. Am I missing something? Reply Contact steve schofield: if you are going to have all domains resolves to the same site, just have all assigned and you'll be fine.   Host-headers would be another way to have multiple websites on the same box, using the same ip address   Basically I have only one IP in my VPS and I need to host 4 sites, 3 of them must have 2 domains. So I created the 4 web sites and edited the bindings for each one by adding the their domains and selecting always port 80 and the only IP I have on the VPS. As far as I know this should be enough ... But it is not working. And this is what is confusing me. And the answers I get or the text I find in internet or says this is the right way to do it or it is confusing and does not clarify me.

For example the first binding is: http://mydomain.com   Port 80 Isn't this enough? That's all you need to do on IIS side. Other configuration you have to do (either configuring DNS server or modifying local HOSTS file, is purely a networking issue on how to direct data to the IIS web site.) Though the KB article I provided is for IIS 5, it illustrates what is host header.

  Re: Create Web site. Am I missing something? Reply Contact "Server not found" means your web browser cannot locate the IIS server. Please review networking settings instead of IIS settings. Possible causes can be, 1. Your browser cannot translate the domain name to the IP address of your IIS server. Then you need to configure DNS or local HOSTS file on the browser machine. 2. Your DNS record is wrong and points to an invalid address.
