I had to rebuild my development server because of a small meltdown. Anyways fresh 2016 install with IIS. I created a new site and am trying to bind to port 443 and for some reason IIS stopping web site and says port is in use. It is not in use the only other site is the default web site and I turned it off.
The site has a unique host header -- domain.com
in binding select add
input the host header and change the port from 80 to 443
add binding and the website is stopped, try to start it and I get IIS error port in use.
I have done this before without incident I have no idea why this is happening any help would be appreciated
-----------------EDIT-----------------
I was in a hurry when I posted this question (Lunch) and left out a piece of information. There is one more site on the server and it's configured to use PHP (first time using php on IIS)it is bound on just port 80 in IIS. sorry for the lack of information.
alvits --- sent me in the right direction....
when you add the binding for ssl you have to change the type to https. I didn't change the type leaving it http and just changing the port 443 this will not work. Another half a day wasted because I'm a noob.

i am trying to Host the asp.net and silverlight application in IIS(Internet Information Service) using 49200 Port instead of Default HTTP port 80.
When i am trying to browse the application With domain name www.domainname.com it is showing not connected. When i tried it for www.domainname.com:49200 application successfully browsing. How to get rid of port number 49200 Without typing port number www.domainname.com application should browse. Please Help me How to achieve this one in IIS.
Thanks in advance experts!.
When you type www.hostname.com, the assumed port is 80. therefore, www.hostname.com is the same as typing www.hostname.com:80.
If you want to get rid of the 49200 on the end, you will need to do one of two things:
Change your site in IIS to be hosted on port 80 instead of port 49200
Introduce another server or a load balancer which is listening on port 80 and is rerouting the traffic to port 49200 on the other server.
On my Nginx I've got two hosts.
One with the values
server_name = www.mydomain.com;
root /var/www/production/myFirstWebSite;
and the other with
server_name=localhost;
root /var/www/development/mySecondWebSite;
To my domain registrar account I configured the DNS with two A record "
www IN A myIP
IN A myIP
This is cool, i can reach my first website with www.mydomain.com or mydomain.com.
Now the problem is how to reach my second website which is in development and I don't buy the domain name. And myIP/development/myScondWebSite is no more working ...
I think that the problem come from the DNS entries but I'm not sure.
Do you've got some ideas ?
Thanks in advance.
There's a couple of ways I could think of to access the localhost one.
Creating a subdomain instead of localhost
This is the best one I'd recommend, try doing something like server_name localhost.mydomain.com.
If you need to put further security, you could make it only allow a certain IP(s) or a range of IPs.
Play with your hosts file
In this specific case I would not recommend this, because you're messing with localhost it self, might break some other stuff on your machine, if it was any other name I could have said it's fine.
Use an ssh tunnel to the server
In this method you create a dynamic port on your ssh connection and set your browser to pass all traffic through tunnel which goes to the server then it's handled from there, so if you run localhost for example it would be like running localhost from over there, but since this involved a browser setting, you need to remember to disable it after you disconnect the ssh connection otherwise the browser would return an error saying that the proxy server is refusing the connection.
Using a local Nginx as a proxy
This one I just came up with right now, and I can't say If it would work or not, the 3 before I've worked with before and I know they work.
You'd set a certain domain name that your local nginx would capture and then proxy it to the remote server, but edit the host header setting it to localhost instead, that way it would match the localhost in the remote machine, if this one works it would not need any setting to be turned on and off every time.
Out of all these, I'd recommend the first one first (if it's an option), then try the last one if you don't want to keep turning things on and off before and after each setting.
We have deployed our website to the live webserver, Windows Server, IIS 7.5. Website asp.net, .NET 4.5
I have configured the website bindings to allow https requests for this website.
Asked the hosting provider to open up the port 443.
I can access the website over internet with port 80, no issues at all. (http://mysite.com)
But I can not access via https, (https://mysite.com).
But I can access the site via SSL from the server itself, that means SSL configurations are fine.(https - localhost)
But I can telnet (telnet mysite.com 443), it responds to GET request via telnet.
I have rechecked the certificate and changed it to a self-signed certificate, issue is still there.
These requests not being tracked in IIS logs as well, seems like the request is not reaching IIS. Hopefully something goes wrong before it reaches the server.
But, when I access the website as http://mysite.com:443, it works.
I m bit confused with this behaviour. Obviously the port 443 is open by the hosting company. But something is wrong with requests over HTTPS, which is supposed to send a request to port 443. Please help.
Because your site is working when you access http://mysite.com:443, I am almost sure that you created wrong binding on IIS. Instead of selecting https from combo box you selected default http.
There is a tutorial on how to do this on youtube: Changing IIS 7.5 Bindings by David Johnson
You've establish that the port is open and the hostname binding is there, otherwise http://mysite.com:443 would not work. Its the SSL part that's not working, hence you can connect directly by port and telnet (port 443 but not SSL) but not a browser via https. It's only a browser connecting to a https url that will expect SSL.. I'm pretty sure I've had the same issue, but cannot recall the exact cause but it was definitely related to an invalid SSL configuration or SSL binding.. The behaviour was like there is no connection, nothing, which is unusual, its the bad config causes the browser to abort the connection. If I remember what, I'll update or comment below.
So you can access the site using https://localhost? Your question is not quite clear on this point... what is the exact URL you are using? If it's https://localhost, that is actually an indication that your certificate is configured incorrectly. You seem to be interpreting this as an indicator that it's working OK and that is not the case. The domain name is tied to the certificate and SSL will work only when accessing the site using that domain name. So if it works for "localhost", something is wrong.
Finally I found the solution. Issue was a setting in the load balancer of the hosting provider. I have asked the question from them and they have figured out the issue. Anyways it was a good learning curve for me. And this knowledge is going to help others.
The firewall was already allowing both HTTP/HTTPS, which is why we could telnet through and run a GET / and still pull down content from the 404 page of the IP address.
It appears there was a certain profile applied to the HTTPS configuration in the load balancer which would only work for HTTP, so they have disabled that.
When they set this up for HTTP and HTTPS they were not able to test HTTPS, because to do so would require an SSL certificate in IIS - which it appears we have already provided.
Thanks everyone for your help on this!
i have hosted the one website "www.example1.com" in port 443(https) in IIS 7. now i bought a new domain for "www.example2.com" for same IP. i would like to host the another website in this domain(www.example2.com) in port 443(i already used port 443 for "www.example1.com").
How can i do this? Is this possible to host two domains in port 443 in same IP? If yes could anyone please let me know the right way to do this? I am using IIS 7.
It CAN be done.
SSL Host Headers in IIS 7 allow you to use one SSL certificate for multiple IIS websites on the same IP address. Through the IIS Manager interface, IIS only allows you to bind one site on each IP address to port 443 using an SSL certificate. If you try to bind a second site on the IP address to the same certificate, IIS 7 will give you an error when starting the site up stating that there is a port conflict. In order to assign a certificate to be used by multiple IIS sites on the same IP address, you will need to set up SSL Host Headers by following the instructions below.
What Type of SSL Certificate Do You Need?
Because you can only use one certificate, that certificate needs to work with all the hostnames of the websites that you use it with (otherwise you will receive a name mismatch error). For example, if each of your IIS 7 websites uses a subdomain of a single common domain name (like in the example below), you can get a Wildcard Certificate for *.mydomain.com and it will secure site1.mydomain.com, site2.mydomain.com, etc.
If, on the other hand, your IIS 7 sites all use different domain names (mail.mydomain1.com, mail.mydomain2.com, etc.), you will need to get a Unified Communications Certificate (also called a SAN certificate).
Setting up SSL Host Headers on IIS 7
Obtain an SSL certificate and install it into IIS 7. For step-by-step instructions on how to do this, see Installing an SSL Certificate in Windows Server 2008 (IIS 7.0).
Once the certificate is installed into IIS, bind it to the first site on the IP address.
Open the command prompt by clicking the start menu and typing “cmd” and hitting enter.
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv\ by typing “cd C:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv\” on the command line.
In the Inetsrv folder, run the following command for each of the other websites on the IP address that need to use the certificate (copy both lines):
appcmd set site /site.name:"<IISSiteName>" /+bindings.[protocol='https',bindingInformation='*:443:<hostHeaderValue>']
Replace <IISSiteName> with the name of the IIS site and <hostHeaderValue> with the host header for that site (site1.mydomain.com)
Test each website in a browser. It should bring up the correct page and show the lock icon without any errors. If it brings up the web page of the first IIS site, then SSL Host Headers haven’t been set up correctly.
in iis 7.5 or newer versions
- Sites > Add Website
- Site Name: example2.com
- Physical Path: select directory
- Binding: same ip as example.com
- Host name: example2.com
then in binding check this for both websites
You can't in IIS7 - each HTTPS binding requires a unique IP/port combination because the Host Header cannot be used to differentiate sites using SSL. This is because the host header is not visible during the SSL handshake.
Your workaround is to differentiate the sites by binding to a different external IP, or by binding to a port other than 443. Both options are less than ideal I know.
There's a great MSDN blog on this.
Fortunately IIS8 appears to have a solution in the form of Server Name Indication (SNI).
Interestingly this is not an IIS quirk, Apache has the same issue, as would any web server before the introduction of SNI.
I currently use IIS 6.0.
I have managed to set up multiple web sites using port 443 and different certificates.
From the IIS manager, go to the web site and edit site bindings.
Simply make sure that the Require Server Name Indication box is ticked and leave the IP address: as All Unassigned.
You now use the same port (443) for multiple sites by selecting the appropriate certificate for the site from the dropdown list of certificates.
We also host multiple sites in port 443 but we need UNIQUE IP addresses for each site.
You cannot bind multiple sites to port 443 using only one IP address.
Unless there is a work-around, but I'm not aware of any.
This article may help:
http://www.harbar.net/articles/ssl.aspx
If you are using a wildcard certificate, just use the format *.domainname.com in the friendly name and the IIS GUI will enable the hostname control for you when you are editing the binding.

Acquia drupal always puts the apache port :8082 to the end of site url, e.g.: http://localhost:8082.
I have a custom site url:
http://somesite:8082
I want to access it just by http://somesite
How to make it work without :8082?
Any hint would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Sorry, you're kind of out of luck. The only way to get that port to go away is to server on either port 80 (http) or 443 (https). Web browsers treat those as the default ports, hence, you don't have to specify. You need the port there so that the browser knows where to go to find Drupal. If you can't run the Acquia Drupal Apache server on port 80, you could optionally run a proxy on port 80 that redirects to the correct place. However that's probably more trouble than it's worth.
Basically, don't worry about it, whenever you move your site off of your localhost onto a live server, you'll be able to run in on port 80 and that pesky port number won't be there anymore.
