IIS issues

[Fabit]

Hi all,

I am running two different webservers in house. For example,

http://www.web01.com

and the other is

http://www.web02.com.

Everytime I go to the internet and type web02.com I see the context of web01.com. They are two different web servers what am I suppose to do to fix this issue? Can some please help me?

Most Appreciative,

Fix your DNS records for web02.com.

 

[Fabit]

can you elaborate more on that?

When you say that you have two webservers in house, do you mean that you have two separate machines hosting a website each in your network, or do you mean you have IIS on one machine and it is hosting 2 websites?
If it's the fist then you have have a DNS issue, or if it is the second, your headers may be improperly configured.

I have 2 seprate servers using IIS running two different websites.

 

[Serbtastic]

Do you have 2 public IP addresses provided by your ISP? One for each web server?

 

[Fabit]

no I only have one public ip address.

 

[Tyras]

Can you give us a bit of information about your setup then? Both servers in a DMZ, or in your LAN behind a firewall?
Also, is there a reason these sites are separate or could they be combined to a single machine?
Are both sites hosted on the same public IP address?

What is happening is that the request for a website is only taking from one machine it sounds like, so the other webserver is not even being considered if you will in the process.

Then you have 3 options to fix this problem:

1. Run both websites from one IIS server, and use host headers to differentiate between sites.

2. Run the second IIS server from a non-standard port and have users specify that in their web request (example:

http://www.web02.com:8080)

3. Purchase a second public IP from your ISP for the second IIS server.

thank you Serbtastic,

that seems more logical and thats what I will do. option #3 sounds good.

 

[Tyras]

Wow..you guys are fast. heh.

Option 3 is a good way to go. Be sure to change the DNS A Records on the website to reflect teh new IP address you get from your ISP, and of course configure your firewall accordingly.

Good luck
