I need to know if Its possible to change my web site address.
I have IIS application locate under Default Web Site\MyApp And the address is:
http:/localhost/myapp
And I want to change the address to
http://localhost
Without the /myapp Its possible to do that without to move the application directory?
In IIS you can change the Physical path of your Default Website.
Right-Click "Default Web Site" --> Manage Website --> Advanced Settings
You need to modify your web.config file or another way is, you can configure default document in IIS. Here is the link that might help :

Context
I have an Asp.Net MVC application. I would like to deploy it to an IIS (Windows Server 2016). I do not care which will be physical path, but I would like to access to the application in the virtual path '/'
(I am using Package web publish method, because no online access to the server, but I think this question is on IIS/ASP and not about publishing. I clearly miss some basic concept about IIS/ASP.)
What I've tried
1) When I try to create an Application in IIS then the dialog forces me to add an application Alias, which becomes the part of the virtual path. So regardless the physical path now the the url will be
myserver/myapp/mypage instead of myserver/mypage
which is not what I want. I would like to access to the page as myserver/mypage
2) If I simply deploy the app under wwwroot then it will appear as myserver/mypage it seems to be working, but where is the "Application" this case? (see picture).
Question
Maybe I missing something: Is this the Default Web Site is an "Application" in its own right? How to configure then its Application settings? If not, then how can I create an Application which's virtual path is '/'?
If I have understood your question correctly, you want to access the application as servername/pagename. In order to do so, do not create an "application" or "virtual directory" under a "website". Instead, directly host the content under Default website. You can change its path under "Basic Settings" and point it to your content folder.
You can also create another website at port 80 and point it to the location where your content is present. However, you will not be allowed to create 2 website with the same IP-port-hostname combination. You can solve this problem further in 3 ways.
If Default web site is not in use, then instead of creating another website, click on Default website, select basic setting from right hand panel and change the path to application content folder.
If Default website is in use, then create another another website at port 80 with a hostname.
If you do not have a hostname and are accessing the application using server-name, then you will have to modify the port to 8080 or something like that.

I have configured a website in IIS with a host header, so that I can call the url customhostheader/ and the website will be shown.
When I try to publish my web project, I get the error that some sections in web.config are registered as allowDefinition=MachineToApplication. But I cannot convert the website in to an application in IIS. I can only convert virtual directories into IIS applications, but I don't want the much longer url http://customhostheader/virtualdirectoryname, I prefer to have just http://customhostheader.
Any ideas what I could do?
Thanks.
Add an application with the name customhostheader which is pointing to your published code (parent of bin folder)
To do this
Right click on "Default Web Site" in IIS and select "Add
Application"
Give alias as customhostheader and provide the path to your application.
Edit based on the comment
Each website by default contains an application. So we just needs to make sure the path of the website is correct.
The following two points should be enough to set up the correct path
The path should be parent of bin folder
The web.config should be present on the path
The default document can be set through the IIS or web.config
I created some site on IIS and it's path is http://localhost:13080/Broker.asmx
But I want it to be under http://localhost:13080/saCore/ws/Broker.asmx.
How I can set this /saCore/ws/ part under my site in IIS ?
or maybe it's possible to set this in my web.config.
Thanks for help.
Change your website's root (IIS Manager > Website > Basic Settings) to the folder that contains "saCore".
If "saCore" is not a real directory then you'll need to use the URI Rewriting module. It's a free download from Iis.net.
How do you the default application in IIS 7?
I have the default web site node with several applications underneath it.
Each application has its default document loaded and if I point my browser to
http://server/appName
It works fine, it resolves to that apps default document set in the IIS settings.
How can I set it so that if I go to
http://server
It will automatically go to http://server/appName
A caveat is that the default web site's root is c:\inetpub\wwwroot where as my applications are located in c:\websites\app1,app2,etc...
You could just put an index.html file in there with a meta redirect in it.
I asked the same question on Server Fault, and figured out that you can change the physical path of the default web site (see my answer).
I have an ASP.net Website. the project' content is in a folder called MyWebSite.
When I run my application from Visual Web developer 2008, the browser displays the following address in the address bar:
http: // localhost/ MyWebSite /Default.aspx
I want to be able to run my Website from the following address:
http://localhost/
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks in advance.
Since it is already running on IIS, I would just change the Physical Path of the Default Website. The original value for this field is something like below in IIS7.
%SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot
If you change this field to the path of your MyWebSite folder than you will be able to access the web site from just http://localhost.
I have seen it recommended to change this value from its default as a means of better security. However, I am trying to think of any drawbacks to doing this and the only one I can think of is that hard coding the path might cause some of your other development relative paths to be confusing.
You can go in and change the bindings settings in IIS but I advise against this. If you deploy your site as is, it should resolve correctly on a hosted server (the way you want it). Try this first and see :-)
Create a new website on IIS named MyWebSite, then in Visual Studio do a File->Open->Website. Choose Local IIS and select your website.
Then it will just run it under what ever name you gave the website. In this case you could make it http://MyWebSite/
Note: running Vista and Windows 7 will need elevated privileges.
