IIS Subdomains (2)

Hi,
Does anyone know of or have a script which can be executed when someone
accesses port 80 of an IIS web server to look at the domain name they have
entered and re-direct them to the correct virtual directory?

This could be used to redirect for example: http://mydomain.com to
http://serverip/mydomain
or
http://test.mydomain.com to http://serverip/mydomain/test

Hi,

Yes - create 3 websites, all using host headers
(http://www.visualwin.com/host-header/). Make one "mydomain.com", another
"test.mydomain.com" and a third "serverip" (or you can leave the default,
which is a catch-all)

Right click mydomain.com's website, go to properties, then the "Home
Directory" tab. Under "The content.." click "A redirection to a URL" and
put in http://serverip/mydomain

Now go to the properties for the website test.mydomain.com, follow the exact
steps above, and put http://serverip/mydomain/test in its place

The last website will be your actual content

Re: IIS Subdomains (2)

Sorry, forgot to mention, I'm running XP so i can only have one website. I
have heard of an asp script before for this purpose but I don't know where i
could get one.

Try the ASP groups, but you should be able to redirect to a virtual
directory based on the HTTP_HOST server varaible.

Re: IIS Subdomains (2)

Hi,

Where will you be running the other websites then?

Without host headers you can't have test.domain.com, other.domain.com, etc,
unless they all run on the same site. You could then make an index script
that checks the Host: variable, but that seems a little bit of a waste

Also, IIS 5.1 on XP will limit you to 10 simultaneous connections
