I am working on an asp.net intranet, that looks for a cookie from our main domain. The cookies domain value is set to "mydomain.com". Now I can easily access this cookie if I am on the same sub domain (http://test.mydomain.com). However is there a way for me to test this from http://localhost as well?
Put an entry in your host file on your local machine so that requesting your company domain gets sent to a local ip address (like 127.0.0.1). Then, make sure you have a web site setup in IIS that uses that IP and host name.

I have access to a CPanel associated with a primary domain name www.test.com and it's IP is 55.666.777.888.
However, we must point the domain to another IP address temporarily and do some set-up on this server at the same time. The issue is I cannot access 55.666.777.888 to set up WordPress after having redirected www.test.com to another IP. The domain must always serve another website in the mean while.
When I visit the Domain page, www.test.com is still listed as primary domain.
Is there anyway that we can disable the domain temporarily and access the site using the IP then revert it later?
I am trying to set up a secondary web site hosted on our local domain controller running IIS-8.
I already have one site working successfully thought our network, the default site.
I have successfully got the second one to work on the localhost (the domain controller Server 2012-R2), but I can't seem to access it from any of the other workstations on our network.
I added the new site.
Set the binding to IP address:192.168.1.1, Port:80, Host Name:dyo.mysite.com
I have modifed C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts to show 192.168.1.1 dyo.mysite.com, and I have added an alias to the forward lookup Zone in the DNS Manager. (Name:byo.mysite.com, FQND:byo.mysite.com.mydc.com, Target Host: 192.168.1.1)
I can't seem to access the site from any of the network work stations. I have tried many combinations of addresses, http://byo.mysite.com, 192.168.1.1/byo.mysite.com, \mydc\byo.mysite.com, etc.
I would imagine that I am probably missing something simple. I just don't know it is.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
To get your server accessed from other workstation. You have to promise
Your IIS site can be accessed via IP address directly.
the client workstation is using your DNS
Your client workstation is not bypassing your DNS server by .pac proxy
So could you get access the website via IP address by disabling default website and set the site to unassigned IP or 192.168.1.1 with null domain name?
If you want to access the website via byo.mysite.com. Then you shouldn't set FQDN like byo.mysite.com.mydc.com. because Web browser will never consider byo.mysite.com as an alias but a different server. That's why When you set FQDN like byo.myDC.com, you could get work by access http://dyo and you could also access website via byo.mysite.com.mydc.com but fail with byo.mysite.com.
How to set DNS correctly
To get it work, please create an new primary Forward Loopup Zone named mysite.com. Then create a new HOST(A) record to map to your machine name like dc.mysite.com and 192.168.1.1. Then create an Alias(CNAME) called www to map to this A NAME. Then the FQDN will be www.mysite.com.
Finally bind your IIS site and access the website should work.
PS: Please make sure your other workstation is not using a proxy.
I am trying to make web app accessible by http://LocalComputer/WebsiteName on IIS.
I am able to access it by http://computername:portnumber/
So what does my binding need to be and do I need a static ip?
Any help or redirection to appropriate resources will be greatly appreciated!
Is IIS setup on default port 80? If your document root is setup to website, you should be able to access it via http://computername/. If this is a local setup, and assuming your DNS is setup and working on the router, wont need a static IP although doubtful IP will ever change.
http://LocalComputer/WebsiteName this can be done locally without a static IP.
In order to make it publically over http you would need below things.
1) Registered domain name
2) Registered name servers
3) DNS zone created for the domain either with registrar or on the server
You can either host this website by renting a Windows VPS or a server and with the help of third party control panels like Plesk or Hosting controller.
OR
You can purchase a shared web hosting space from a windows hosting provider and upload your pages to make the contents accessible publically.
Another option would be to set multiple domains in your hosts file
domain1 192.168.0.10
domain2 192.168.0.10
...
Set IIS to bind and hosts multiple domain on the same IP. Then you can access each site locally by going to http://domain1 or http://domain2 etc...
I have already rent an online server.
I'm installing IIS on it, hosting a website on it.
to access the site from internet, I must type: {ipaddress}/siteAppName
My question is how to use a name instead of ip address? should I buy and register a new domain name? if that the case how could I configure this ip with a new domain name?
More Details:
I am renting a dedicated server... so I have full access to the server as I'm hosting my website on it. but I don't have a domain name. either from local machine or remotely I can successfully access the hosted website using the ip address of my server/webAppName.. but the problem is that I'm trying to get ssl certificate, but the generated CSR is rejected from all SSL suppliers because the url is not accepted, and I think that it's not accepted because of using IP instead of a domain name. I mentioned many self-conclusions here, but I'm not sure about any of them... That's why I'm asking.
It depends on your hoster but most allow you to use a registered domain name. They should have instructions on how to set this up.
I had enough from shared web hosting(sql server on shared web hosting is just a joke ,additionally last web hosting I use, has a restriction of 3 mints for session process!! and they not support sessionstate mode as sqlserver)
so I decided to publish my local website on windows 7 .
I have static IP and port 80 open,I can browse my site from other network using IP address
like :http://46.117.24.192/.
I also have register domain (http://examplesite.com)
I want to configure the dns of the domain to my IP address
in domain management I have to put 2 Name Servers
Name Server 1 *
Name Server 2 *
What shall I put in those name servers in order to use domain name for browsing my site?
Thanks for any help

You need to add an A record to the name servers that sets your domain name to the IP Address. So you would create an A record, set the host to "*" (or www if you want to have www), and then the IP address 46.117.24.192.
