some sites like yahoo etc. if you type in yahoo.com it goes to their site

http://www.yahoo.com,

on our server if you type anydomain.com you get an error page, how can i have it go to

http://www.anydomain.com

so the user dont have to put the

http://www in.

chip h.

I saw it after I posted, but in the http header section, I see header name and header value, what do i put where?

 

[venkateshshah]

you need to add host header for anydomain.com on

http://www.anydomain.com

or you can create seperate domain anydomain.com on same server and redirect it to

http://www.anydomain.com.

or you can use below code as default document (but u should have anydomain.com host entry or seperate setup)

host = lcase(request.servervariables("HTTP_HOST"))
SELECT CASE host
CASE "sachin.com"
response.redirect "

http://localhost/dbadmin"

CASE "localdb.com"
response.redirect "

http://localhost/AspDB"

CASE "dundasmail.com"
response.redirect "

http://localhost/dundasmail"

CASE "dundasupload.com"
response.redirect "

http://localhost/dundasupload"

CASE ELSE
response.redirect "

http://localhost/iisstart.asp"

END SELECT

ok, i got it working on my internal dns(windows 2000),but my external dns still isn't working.

zone file entry is

www. A ip

do i have to add something else.

If your

http://www.domain.com

resolves to the same address as domain.com then you don't need to use the

http://www as

a browser always tries to connect on port 80 first.

Check your dns setup on your outside DNS server - nslookup domain.com, nslookup

http://www.domain.com

- if they match then you shouldn't have a problem.

castro66,

that was it exactly, the outside dns didnt have an entry for domain.com just the

http://www's,

i added domain.com with the ip of

http://www and

boom it worked. thanks

This is really pretty simple.

1.) Make sure you have a DNS entry for yourdomain.com in DNS

2.) In IIS
- Right mouse click on the site
- Properties
- From the "Web Site" tab click on the Advanced button
- In the top box "Multiple Identities", click "Add", select your IP for this site, your port (80) and enter your root domain yourdomain.com.
- Click "OK","OK","OK" and you're ready.

We do this all of the time. You can use any fully qualified domain in he host header. It doesn't have to be the same domain (eg. fredflintstone.com/fred-flintstone.com)
