Good morning

I have created a Dynamic Webdev site.

All works fine on the development machine.

I have deployed this to the IIS 7.5 webserver (win 2008 r2)

I have other sites working ok on the same webserver (locally)

If I type http://192.168.23.10/WD180AWP/WD180Awp.exe/CONNECT/thesite all works fine.

where 192.168.23.10 is the local webserver

I created another site in IIS… setup the bindings for www.internetdomain.co.uk – so that server would read the headers and setup the redirection /WD180AWP/WD180Awp.exe/CONNECT/thesite


So, back in the browser I type www.internetdomain.co.uk ... This should redirect to /WD180AWP/WD180Awp.exe/CONNECT/thesite

The browser changes to http://www.internetdomain.co.uk/WD180AWP/WD180Awp.exe/CONNECT/thesite... But instead of 404 File or directory not found.

Could anyone please tell me the steps to deploy a locally working dynamic site on to the web in IIS7.5 please

Thank you

Hi Tony

I am more used of setting things up for awp sites, where you do NOT have
the CONNECT thingy... But If I remember correctly, the help fle says
that you re supposed to set up your web server to start an index.html
page, and in this page, you should have a redirect to your CONNECT
thing... There is even an example of the html page code.

In awp you do not have to do that because you can directly set an AWP
page as the default starting page

Best regards

Hi

Thank you very much for you reply

I did have a look at that, sort of

The crazy thing is that if I run the site locally, it works fine.

i.e. http://192.168.23.10/WD180AWP/WD180Awp.exe/CONNECT/thesite

if I set up a open port rule on my firewall, forwarding xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to my webserver 192.168.23.10 all works fine

i.e. http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/WD180AWP/WD180Awp.exe/CONNECT/thesite (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is an outward facing IP for the company)

So the default website on the webserver is handling the request

But I just have no idea how to setup a binding to work for many sites on IIS.

Do you know of a guide or some steps..

I can say to people just go to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/WD180AWP/WD180Awp.exe/CONNECT/thesite, but I'd rather say go to 'this domain name' and this bounces on to the right page?

Thank again
