How to create a website on SBS2003 that is a sub of a different domain
Hi,
I'm using SBS2003 as a website development server.
I create new sites using the built in wizard and enter dev.domain.com in the host header field with a corresponding entry in the clients DNS so clients can see work in progress. This all works ok untill I was asked to build a site that is a sub domain of a clients exsiting site.
I created a site using the wizard and entered sub.domain.com in the host header field along with a corresponding DNS entry but when I browse the site I get a 404 error message.
The new sub domain site is physically located one level down from the main site folder site.
Any idea's what I've done wrong?
Cheers
David

It was the "A" record that was at fault so your original answer was correct. Thanks.

No luck I'm afraid, it's really odd that this one site is playing up all the others are fine and the only difference is that it has a sub domain name pointing to it.
I've moved the site to a top level folder so it's now at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\rockcaf
The host header for the site is cafe.therock.co.nz
The "A" record is www.cafe.therock.co.nz and points to my servers IP address
Does this info help at all?
