IIS 7 New Site Question

[brk1221]

Setting up an intranet site on Win2K8 server with IIS7. If I create a new site, how do I get browsers access it without going to the default site? Or is it easier to just modify the default site?

Thanks

I typically delete the default site. Check the bindings, though, this links the sites with the IP addresses on the server. 1 site per IP address or you will need host headers (assuming default ports).

I got it working by "stopping" the default site and assigning the machine ip address to the new site. Kind of the same. How do I access the site by name instead of ip?

Thanks

That will require some dns being set up with an A record pointing at the IP address bound to the website.

Once that was setup, if you wanted to restrict it so only the name could be used (i.e not the IP) you could use a host header which is setup from the bindings (iirc).
