.aspx file doesn't work on IIS website

Question

I have a big solution that contains a lot of .aspx file, basically it's a big sln file for my whole server

I wanted to add a website in my IIS server that contains inside a child directory within the root site folder, for example:

my-tools.com physical path is D:/MyWeb <-- Working well

I added a secondary sites, with no relation to the upper site called mysite which is like that:

mysite.my-tools.com which its path it D:/MyWeb/MySite/

If I try to reach mysite.my-tools.com/M_Index.aspx file it give me an error tells me it's not found, however, when I try to view a .jps file from the same directory (eg mysite.my-tools.com/test.jpg) it returns just find.

it's important to tell that all the pages share the same solution, what do I do here and why it is not working? can anyone tell me?

thanks a lot

Answer 1

having the folder separated like you do is a step in the right direction. next step is to configure IIS to point to that separate folder. then you would need to create a DNS entry for your sub-domain at your DNS host. "subdomain.domain.com". You would be creating a new site, so you could use the same IP address, as long as you add the proper host headers for each site.
