I am working on a website LOCALLY running Win7 and IIS7. I want the website to respond to ANY subdomain request like "*.mysite.com".
How do I configure the IIS bindings and host file to allow for this? I can't seem to locate any good tutorials on this.
Thank you for your time.
If you don't enter host headers and your domain's dns records are set to point all subdomains to the website's IP address, the website will catch all requests.
I am not sure about your local setup, but i am running few websites on IIS7 where all subdomains go to the same site.

I recently setup a wordpress website on IIS.
I configured the website and it is working on the local machine. I can browse pages and get to the wordpress admin.
I also configured IIS with the correct site binding, host name and ip address.
However from the internet I can not reach the website. It's as if the wordpress site is not listening to or IIS is not passing along traffic from the internet. And just to make sure it wasn't an issue with IIS. I setup a second website on that server that is accessible from the web. That one is working.
Any anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it.
After doing some testing.
In this case. The wordpress site would not respond or map to the correct domain name on the main ip address of the server.
After adding a second IP address on the nic card and mapping that in IIS the website worked properly.
It was a very strange situation. It should of just worked on the main IP. But it didn't. shrug.
I encounter I problem where our wordpress websites assets doesn't load getting 403 Forbidden in a company network which uses a firewall.
The thing is that those same websites in production, which are managed by another company (but still in amazon aws servers) load fine, but the same website in our server fails. So that's why I think it could be something related with the server configuration.
And this doesn't happen with other kind of websites like an Angular APP that we have.
And the server IP or domain isn't blacklisted.
What could be happen?
I am looking for some help here. I have configured my domain emails on Windows hosting and it is working fine. Next I want to deploy a Wordpress application on Linux hosting under the same domain.
It is possible to have the emails in Windows hosting and have the actual web application in Linux hosting?
I already have configured the dns of both hostings in my domain account. The emails are working fine but when I try to access to my domain name, it doesn't show up the Wordpress app (it shows up the default "Under construction" page of my Windows hosting)
Anyone can give me some advice? Thanks in advance.
make sure you are edit the A record to your linux server. A/#/www should pointed to your linux server IP Address. And keep the MX to your Windows server.
For example, this is how to configure it on Godaddy https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-DNS-records-at-GoDaddy-for-Office-365-f40a9185-b6d5-4a80-bb31-aa3bb0cab48a
Sure, just point your DNS MX record of your domain to the Windows server (you seem to have this figured out already) and point the DNS A resource record to the IP address of your Linux server.
I am having difficulty with my domain mapping on Wordpress with Networking enabled and using the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin. I am running everything on a Windows 2008 server using IIS7. I have the domains mapped and my domain host DNS settings are correct. The domains go to my server IP.
I have created multiple sites and can edit them via the dashboard but when I click on the view site link I to the default web page for IIS.
Do I need to set up something in IIS? I don't understand how the domains are supposed to resolve to the correct Wordpress site. Any help would be appreciated.
I've installed Wordpress on a 'subscription' in Plesk (latest version) on my server. The domain related to the subscription is not currently pointed to my server. However, I'd like to work on the Wordpress admin area before I point the domain.
Can this be done? At the moment if I use the 'login' button on the domain in Plesk it redirects me to the actual domain. Which as I say isn't currently pointed so gives me an error.
Can I access the website via the server and the directory folder of the site?
Thank you
You can update your hosts file to map the domain to the IP address of your server.
If the domain were example.com and the IP address of your server was 111.111.111.111 you would just need to add the line:
111.111.111.111 example.com
You can find where your hosts file is located here.
