Publish Web App on IIS

Hi,

I'm new to this, I have a new applciation which is delivered over http. The
app is set up and running correctly from the server under
http://localhost/appname.

However when I try and run it from a PC on the network I get an error
message of Internet Explorer cannot display the page

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

I get this error message if I use the servername or the FQDN.

Are there any configurations I need to change in order to make this
available, I thought I had done everything I needed to.

Thanks,
Jolyon

Re: Publish Web App on IIS

Hello,

From a remote computer, what URL do you use? Do you use
http://localhost/appname? If so, that will not work because localhost refers
to the local machine, which will then be the one that is not running IIS and
does not host the website.

If you from the remote PC are using http://servername/appname, and it does
not work, then it seems that you perhaps have a firewall enabled. The
message you see indicate that the request never got to IIS but instead was
stopped somewhere.

Please make sure that you do not have a firewall enabled that stops this
from working. This can be either the Windows Firewall or a third party
firewall.
