This question already has an answer here:
rewrite url to url:port number
(1 answer)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have a question identical to the one stated here, but I still can't figure out how to make it work.
My situation is as follows (this is all BRAND NEW to me, so please forgive me if I use the wrong words to describe things, but I hope the overall description will still make sense):
On IIS, I have a default ASP website that can be accessed by going to http://MyHost/Site1. This site is hosted on the default port for this host, which is port 80.
I've created a new ASP website in IIS with a new AppPool, etc that is attached to port 8080 and is in a differnet folder on the local hard drive.
Now, I can access this website by navigating to http://Myhost:8080, but I would like to just be able to type in something along the lines of http://MyHost/Site2.
I am a total newbie to IIS, so please can someone offer me as clear a bit of guidance as possible?
Thanks SO MUCH!!
You need to create an IIS Application within the existing (default) website that maps to the other site.
The application name would be MyTool2, and its physical path would be the path to the other site.

Excuse my lack of server architecture knowledge, but I'm a bit confused on what applications, servers, environments, etc.. are and how they can communicate with each other. I just got AWS and here is what I want to do ultimately.
I want to create a Google Chrome extension. For simplicity, lets say that I'm trying to make an app that records the number of times that all users with the extension collectively visit a given webpage plus information about the visits, such as the time they visited and duration. So if I go to Facebook.com and 100 other people with the extension did, I would see an iframe, lets say, that says "100 users have been here and they visited at these times: ...". Of course, the extension also needs to communicate with the server to increase the count by one. The point is, there is no need to visit any webpage for this app to work since it's an extension and the point isn't to go to a webpage, although it still returns HTML and Javascript.
Now, I also want a homepage for the app in case people are interested in the extension for whatever reason. Just like Adblock, you don't need to go to their actual website, but it's good to have one.
My question is, how do I set this up? Do I just have a normal website, ie. www.example.com/ and set it up normally with Wordpress (what I'd like to use) then just designate one address, ie www.example.com/app, to be answered by my Python app? If so, how do I do that? What do I need in AWS? I'm familiar with Flask and have written apps on my local server using it—can that be integrated with Wordpress?
Sorry if this is confusing.

The simplest is to host the home page as a static website (Html, css, js) in an S3 bucket.
But if you really want WordPress, you can do that too.
For Backend web services for your plugin to talk to, you can use Elastic Beanstalk, it is a very simple way to do that, without tinkering all the components yourself.
I have been using Helicon to rewrite my URLs and they are in a file htaccess (no dot). The rewrite goes something like:
RewriteRule /e-commerce /e-commerce.asp [I,U]
I have read a few answers, starting with How to Determine the Installed ASP.NET Version of Host from a Web Page. I ran the page, and it displayed 2.0.50727.3643
A little history so maybe one can be gentle. I was a Microsoft Frontpage MVP, but disliked their Frontpage Server Extensions (FPSE). Some hosting companies are still using them, but the last ones were back in 2002.
I was a Microsoft guy. So I went with Microsoft servers and started using ASP includes. Then I came across Helicon - and used it for 4-5 yrs. Some of my sites are having no issues, but some of them are. And my new prices along with new hardware for credit card processing is out and I really need help (BTW, I looked for an e-commerce section but found nothing if y'all have one, I'll be more than happy to help).
I do not even know what is the file name I should be using and the information that goes in there.

Rewriting URLs in ASP.NET/C#

I have seen several file names but I do not know which one to use. I am sure there is a question out there that matches mine, but after looking for several hours, I am hoping some of the experts will be able to help me out.
Thank you!
You should give a try to URLRewriter.Net. It's very easy to integrate into asp.net project. Instead of IIS level it implements url rewriting at asp.net level.
I've currently got a reasonably large site up that i've been asked to make changes to.
Currently To login to this site you need to go to:
www.example.com/folder/loginpage.html
This site is only accessible internally at this time and it is unlikely to ever be accessible externally.
We would like to, however, be able to direct external users to a sub-directory on the site (a 'survey' form) which is located in
www.example.com/folder/subfolder/survey.html
This survey writes its results back to the main application and i believe they are integrated tightly.
We initially tried the idea of using an additional IIS7 box as a reverse proxy however it is quite confusing to me, i'm not very familiar with IIS/ARR and the other features required (i'm mostly familiar with networking). I did try and follow a number of tutorials but didn't get very far. I'd like to avoid it if possible.
How can I, using IIS7 (this site is in ASP.NET) restrict external users from accessing anything other than the survey pages (there are a few included files necessary as well)?
Is it possible to make www.example.com/folder/subfolder/survey.html a 'website' in-itself so that i can publish a URL like survey.example.com externally?
I've come across other examples where access is restricted from specific pages but the root of the site is still accessible
ie
www.eg.com/ is allowed but www.eg.com/admin.aspx is denied. I'd like to the the reverse in effect, and if possible, hide the 'true' url.
Hope someone can help! If using a reverse proxy is possible i'm happy to do it but i'd need detailed instructions.
Thanks for reading,
Much appreciated!
Edit: Sorry all, I'm new to stackoverflow, indeed I've just realised that there are several other sub-communities. Is it more appropriate to ask this in a different community? If so, which one?
Thanks!
I want to create a multi-tenant application that uses the hostname to determine the customer.
For example:
CustomerOne.myapp.com
AnotherCo.myapp.com
AndOneMore.myapp.com
...
I can do the database and security side with no problems, I can also get the hostname from the URL, but what I am struggling to find out is how to create the basic plumbing that would allow a new customer to sign up online, provide their company name, and for the application to create the new URL, ready to be used straight away.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Rob.
I can't answer this exactly, but I can break it down a little bit.
To set up a new generic subdomain something.myapp.com you'll need to do two things:
1) Programmatically add some new DNS entries via your ISP so that something.myapp.com points to your web server.
2) Programmatically set the local bindings in IIS so that something.myapp.com gets directed to the right website/virtual directory/application
There is some discussion of setting IIS binding programmatically here, which also links through to this forum post here, which mentions that appcmd.exe can be used to set IIS config at run time.
Hope this points you in the right direction ...
I want to use my winserver 2008 to host my own pages. I got a couple of domains. So I want to setup my server to it.
Now to the questions and thoughts.
1.Do I create NS1, NS2, NS3 on this one server? If are they done in the _msdcs, or the MYDNS.COM.. NS I mean Name Server, i need atleas 2 to redirect the domain(u knew this but anyway)
2.Do I need different ips for each one of the NS? If how can I setup more ip's I only got one?
3.Do I need to do any more then setting the domain name in the iis7 when I create a web page or does it know how to find it? Like do I need to set that the domain1.com need to go to a specific folder where the files are?
This is just some basic thoughts I wonder about on this topic. If I could just get some leads I am sure I can find info and figure out how to, but I appreciate all help I can get.
Thanks guys
