asked on

DNS forwarding to 1 IP address with multiple domains

I have an IIS Server with a dedicated IP address. The server currently hosts 1 website on that IP (abc.com)

I have a request to get a 2nd domain (xyz.com) pointing to a different application on that server on port 90.

So basically, instead of them having to enter an IP address in the URL bar of their browser, I want them to be able to use the domain name.

I have control of the DNS.

I don't have a clear idea of what all the steps are required to complete this.

 - update DNS to point the domain to the IP address of the server
   - should the DNS forwarding be with or with out the port :90 included?

- add the site in IIS (xyz.com) to be bound to port 90 on the IP address of the server

Is that correct? Is there anything missing?

Thanks

update DNS to point the domain to the IP address of the server.

and in IIS create hostheaders for example.
192.168.0.100   90        www.xyz.com
192.168.0.100   90        xyz.com

Ok, now in the DNS I have www.xyz.com and xyz.com pointing to the Public IP of the webserver.

In IIS, I set up the site bindings for

xyz.com : 90
www.xyz.com : 90

Yet, when I use the URL http://111.111.111.111:90/SearchPortal.aspx?id=OatHbSCh/y8= 

(where 111.111.111.111 is the public IP) it works fine.


But if I try to replace the IP with http://www.xyz.com:90/SearchPortal.aspx?id=OatHbSCh/y8= 

I get this error in my browser:

*********************
Server Error in '/' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>

Here is the error that is now returned. I don't know what to make of it, but have passed it off to the developers. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

Now add these assemblies in your web.config file which you recently created. Add all the remaining lines also which you will find in error after adding these lines.

Note: Do not add any other line which is not required by your web.config in error.

I'm not familiar with the web.config file structure... Would the following be correct?
*****************

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>

<add assembly="System.EnterpriseServices, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>
<add assembly="System.Web.Mobile, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>
<add assembly="*"/>
<add assembly="System.Runtime.Serialization, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089, processorArchitecture=MSIL"/>
<add assembly="System.IdentityModel, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089, processorArchitecture=MSIL"/>

</configuration>

************************

Or do the added assemblies need to be contained in some kind of <section> </section>?
