I have a few websites running on my server (Windows Server 2003 R2), and they all work just fine for people visiting sites etc. However, when I am logged onto the machine via RDP, I cannot visit a webiste using it's url.
I just get Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.
I thought it might be hosts file thing, but it looks fine to me, just has:
127.0.0.1 localhost

I have Windows Server 2008 and IIS 7, and I'm using an ASP.NET app. I am trying to run multiple sites from one IP, but I can't access the sites from the outside. I can only access the Default website from outside but when I want to access the second one it does not work.
host configured for both sites:
10.10.10.1 www.mydomain.com
and
10.10.10.1 sport.mydomain.com
They both run fine locally on the Server and I have added a rule on the firewall to allow all inbound. but still
any help will be really appreciated
Maybe try to change the port for the second site.
I have an ASP.Net website running on Server 2012, IIS 8. I am getting a generic, not server provided 404 message. I have the ports forwarding through the router, I have my site and IP setup in the Hosts file, and have the site bindings configured to the proper address and port. The site works fine on the local machine browsing the url (not just localmachine), but nothing outside the server, even other machines on the network can get to the site.
Any suggestions as to what I should do next?
there must be a load of questions on this but I cant get it working. I have a asp.net app running locally hosted within iis (windows 8/ version 6.2) which I can browse locally. Example below, and it works without a problem.
http://localhost:1234
I'm trying to browse this site from a windows virtual machine using remote desktop and then launching the browser on the client machine. Unfortunately this display "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"
any ideas why I cant get through on a remote desktop? The client has internet access obviously and I can ping the other machine (both ways). Is there an IIS or firewall setting I can configure. The firewall on the dev box (i.e. the web server in this situation) has a firewall switched on. When I turn it off I still get the same error message.
My iis authenication settings are shown below (for my website, not for the 'Default Web Site'):
On the client machine, I'm using the following:
http://12.34.56.78:1234
Thanks,
James
Try using https: instead of http: and also to access the website from other PC, you need to enable your Anonymous Authentication. And you also need to Enable the Directory Browsing from IIS settings of website.
Can you ping the ip? Disable the firewall on both machines and try.
Let me know
I'm currently working on http://thomaskinkadegallery.com - however, now that I have set up a localhost (http://thomaskinkadegallery.com:8888) on my local machine, I cannot access the remote server anymore. I get a page timeout. I checked the page on another computer, it's working just fine.
What is blocking the site on my machine?
In Brief:
My company is currently working on a small asp.net website to be used by a set of our customers. The site fails to load in only IE8 in our production environment, instead displaying a general page-not-found error (not a 404 from our server).
Details:
The website is deployed on two servers, QA and Prod. Both servers were cloned from the same image and should have identical settings. They have identical hardware and software. Both servers are outside of our company firewalls, accessible from the internet, as well as our company intranet. The website itself was deployed on both servers from the same build; the only difference is a single line in each site's web.config file pointing the site on Prod to the production database and the site on QA to a test database (whose data is cloned from Prod on a regular basis). I'll refer to our site on the QA server as site.qa.com and our site on the Prod server as site.prod.com.
When site.prod.com is accessed from the company intranet in any browser the site loads and behaves correctly (this includes accessing it in IE8). When site.prod.com is accessed from the internet (as our end users will be accessing it), site.prod.com loads and behaves correctly in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and IE9. When we attempt to access it in IE8, IE8 returns a page-not-found error, as if the computer accessing site.prod.com is disconnected from the internet.
site.qa.com is accessible on both our intranet and the internet in every browser (including IE8).
I should also note that accessing site.prod.com from both the internet and our intranet uses the same URL and should pass through the same security checks; there's not a special intranet-only way of accessing either site.prod.com or site.qa.com.
More about the servers:
Both QA and Prod are running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Service Pack 1. We are running the website through IIS 7.5, and IIS settings are identical between the two servers (exporting their config files and comparing shows them matching down to the line).
Closing:
At this point we are stumped about why our website fails to load in IE8. It's not an option for us to drop support for IE8, and cloning QA and using that clone as Prod is a temporary solution we're considering, but won't answer our core question, which is: why will IE8 completely fail to load the production site, and only the production site, only when accessed from the internet?
EDIT:
The website magically started working (it looks to be one of those errors). I'll post here anything we're able to uncover about this behavior and how it was fixed, in case others are experiencing similar problems.
