I have a server: myserver.mycompany.com
My Web server is IIS 7 on Win 2008 R2
On this server I run my app: MyApp
Currently, for the users to access my app they need to enter: http://myserver.mycompany.com/myapp
I would like to change that, and have my app accessible by entering just my server.mycompany.com
What settings do I need to adjust to make this happen?
You will need to change the binding for the virtual website. You should have the MyApp listed in the tree down the left hand side of the IIS console. Select it and then use the Bindings link of the far right side of the console.
Add your domain name and link it to the IP address of the server.
If you MyApp is already a folder underneath a virtual website of myserver.mycompany.com then you would be better off moving it out to its own virtual website

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.

Hello I have a website hosted on remote desktop. ("mywebsite.com")
I want to host another web app with domain "app.mywebsite.com". I created a website in IIS but its not working. What's the configuration setting I need to do make this working ?
(I use IIS7) first app(mywebsite.com) is hosted before. I downt know anything about.
I just created an app and want to host it in same remote desktop with "app.mywebsite.com" alias.
there is an warrning seem on basic settings > Test settings pane
Error message is : "The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access. Make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path. If this server is joined to a domain, and the application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that \$ has Read access to the physical path. Then test these settings again."
How can I fix this ?
Thanks for help
You'll need to add a binding:
Open IIS Manager.
In the Connections pane, expand the Sites node in the tree, and then click to select the site for which you want to add a binding.
In the Actions pane, click Bindings.
In the Site Bindings dialog box, click Add.
In the Add Site Binding dialog box, add the binding information and then click OK.
I'm trying to use IIS 7 to run an HTML5 app via localhost directly out of the folder of the GIT repository where I am developing files (e.g. I go to [ip address]/myApp and it runs C:/git/myApp/index.html).
So I set up a new web site in IIS that has the following advanced settings:
Application Pool: myApp
Bindings: http:*:80:newAutoDemo
ID: 2
Name: myApp
Physical Path: C:/git/myApp
Physical Path Credentials Login type: Interactive
Start Automatically: true
However, when I try to go to [ip address]/myApp, it looks for files in C:/inetpub/wwwroot/myApp instead of my GIT directory (throwing a 404 error). Any idea how to fix it so that it links directly?
Note: I would like this to run on other computers on the same LAN as well as the computer with IIS running.
A new WebSite in IIS means that it's no longer under the default http://localhost/ site. Looks like you've got it set up to respond to http://newAutoDemo, so you'd need to make sure your DNS points that domain name to this IP address (if you're testing from a single machine, you can do it in the hosts file).
If you want to access it as http://{ipaddress}/myApp, then rather than creating a brand new website in IIS, you'll just want a new virtual directory or application underneath Default Web Site.
Just to begin I am a beginner in ASP, and havign some difficulty in deploying my first application.
I made a asp.net project in VS2008, and I ws trying to deploy it on another machine and following are the steps that I did:
right clicked on website and published set loaction to c:\inetpub\wwwroot and pasted my app to this folder.
Then I went to control Panel- admin tool- IIS and there it showed the website which I copied then went to its properties added documents, set ASP>NET version, it was blank by default. Then edited the configuration and under authentication changed its mode to none.
And then when I cick on the app in IIS and browse it showed the desired output, but I need to know how to open the same app in browser.
Thanks
If I've understood this correctly - it does depend on how the website has been set up in IIS. At it's most simple it would be
As the default website
http://[external IP of webserver]/default.aspx
As a virtual under the website
http://[external IP of webserver]/[virtualName]/default.aspx
Assuming there is a file called default.aspx (insert your own)
if default.aspx is specified as a default document for the site
http://[external IP of webserver]
http://[external IP of webserver]/[virtualName]
if you are using binding to a specific IP and or port (look in IIS, left handside at the binding link - see image below)
http://hostname: optionalpost
Apologies if I have misunderstood
EDIT
To check whether the site is active at all and to get a better idea of what the external URL is then on the left hand side of IIS will be browse to website. Click this to check whether the site comes up at all.
If it does then the URL should be obvious. It could be one with a host header i.e. looks like a normal URL i.e.
http://mytestsite.com
If it is in this format then you may not be able to browse externally if you can't resolve this hostheader to the IP of the box. To get around this then edit you host file and add a mapping from the url to the external IP of the box.
Host header is at following in windows 7 (or windows generally i think)
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Please back this file up before editing it
I am trying to run my ASP.NET Web Application Project in my Local IIS Web Server instead of using the Visual Studio Development Server. It seems to only allow me to run my application in a Virtual Directory off of the Default Web Site. However, I would like to run the application in the root of the Default Web Site itself.
I go into the properties of my project, go to the Web tab, click the User Local IIS Web server radio box, and change the Project URL to http://localhost/. However, when I attempt to save, it tells me I need to configure the Virtual Directory, although I am not using a Virtual Directory.
Has anybody made this work before? Thanks!!
It sounds like localhost port 80 is already in use.
IIS creates a default web site that listens on localhost port 80. Have you disabled that before trying to add yours?
Another approach is to have your site listen on a different port, 81 for example.
So far I used a Post-Build event to copy the contents of my project to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ and I set the Start Action's Start URL to http://localhost/. Not very elegant, but it gets the job done. I would love for somebody to include a more elegant solution.
