无法使用绑定访问IIS托管的网站

Question

I've been messing around a bit with IIS and it's taken up a good few hours of trouble shooting now. I'm using windows server 2008 R2 with IIS 7

I can access the site locally using localhost or the IP address no problem

if I use the server name I can also access the default web site by going to www.servername.net - IIS homepage

i've copied my "NewSite" folder into wwwroot which then gives me external access to this new site via

www.servername.net/NewSite

and local access via localhost/newsite

However locally I have no access via just NewSite

and externally I cannot get access unless I use the servername.net/NewSite and put it inside that directory

Detailed Error Information:

Module
   IIS Web Core 

Notification
   MapRequestHandler 

Handler
   StaticFile 

Error Code
   0x80070002 

Requested URL
   http://servername:80/newsite/ 

Physical Path
   C:\inetpub\wwwroot\newsite\ 

Logon Method
   Anonymous 

Logon User
   Anonymous 

This is the error I get when I try to access the site locally but externally I just get a normal 404

Here's my binding:

My thoughts are that this is a DNS problem? but I don't even know where to start with that. I don't know what else to add so ask anything and I'll add more details

Answer 1

Having NewSite for your HostName in the binding means that the binding will only be looking for HostName requests that match NewSite .

You will want to change HostName to Blank to accept traffic for anything hitting that IP/Port combination, or if you have multiple sites, set it to the actual Domain Name that will be sent in the host header request such as yoursite.com .
