IIS - Changing site "name/address"
Asked By JR
16-Nov-09 10:03 AM
Hello folks
My company is changing it is domain, and our site is based o IIS6
(Server 2003)
We have the new domain name registred, our ISP is changing the DNS,
everything is going as planned. BUT...
I have a doubt regarding IIS; do I have to change anything IN IIS, or
do I just have to make sure the internet router sends all newsite.com
calls to it?

Hi JR,
A few things come to mind. You may or may not use any of these items but
they are working checking:
1. SSL certificate. If you are using SSL on oldsite.com you will need to
get a new SSL certificate for newsite.com
2. Redirections. Both on oldsite.com (usually not the case but I have seen it
a few times) and other websites you may host.
3. Host header.
Although not IIS related...
4. Check the code. Search for oldsite.com in your webpages and ask the
developers to update them.
All the best,
Jeffrey Ingalls

I am happy/proud to say that all this is covered. My only doubts are
related to IIS "internal" works, so to speak.
Jeffrey Ingalls replied to JR
There is nothing internal in IIS that refers to DNS records.
The only other item I can think of to check the code of any custom ISAPI
filter(s) installed on the webserver.
A good test to verify if newsite.com works is to edit the hosts. file on a
client machine with the IP address and newname. Browse to the website using
the new name and test the website. If all is well then you have done your job!
All the best,

Installing IIS IIS I copied index.html file to the following server and URL: http: / / 74.208.153 same services are running on both servers. The only difference I saw was that in IIS Manager, 34 has a folder called to create a new folder, just a new virtual and the settings were the same. What else do I need to check to setup IIS Manager properly for hostin my app on 240?

Database logging with IIS 7.0 IIS Hi I am trying to setup database logging with IIS 7.

Dummy Needs Help with IIS Configuration IIS I have a simple .Net app which uses FtpWebRequest / Response. It used to work when it connected to an IIS FTP Server which I had running on a WinXP system which bit the dust a Even when the client is running on the same Vista system as the server. Configuring IIS is probably way over my head, but I need an FTP server so that I have a chance of doing whatever needs to be done. My specific questions is: does IIS need to be told which drives and directories it can access or does it use should be having no problem. So I am thinking / hoping that I must also tell IIS which dirves and directories it can make available to clients. If this might be helpful . . . Under ComputerManagement(Local) under Services and Applications I have two IIS entries: "InternetInformationServices(IIS) Manager" and "InternetInformationServices(IIS) 6.0 Manager". When I double click on the first entry
Do away with Frontpage IIS Just getting started with IIS 7.0 on web server 2008. Ok, so MS no longer supports Front Page extensions Page at all. I do recall that I had to enable front page extensions with IIS 5 and 6 but I do not remember why. So if MS no longer supports code.) I am aware of the Ready-to-Run software download for front page on IIS 7.0, but also know that that will not work on IIS 7.5, so it does not seem worthwhile to use a short term solution. Easier to just get rid of front page altogether - maybe. . . Answers please?

I am puzzled by IIS 7.0 (ASP problem) IIS Hi, I have a ASP web site linked to a MySQL database that works very well under IIS 6.0 but as soon as I try to transfer it to IIS 7.0, I get an Internal error 500 page. I worked with a web developer that all the paths are OK and as for myself, I made sure that standard IIS permissions were applied to the web folders. Mainly, the error occurs as soon as the told me about a value that he had changed from "none" to "scripts only" in IIS 6.0 that was interfering with some of his web sites. It was in the "Home Directory" tab of a particular web site properties in IIS 6.0. The description is as follows: Application name: website.com application Execute permissions: Scripts he demonstrated it to me with a non-production web site with similar code in IIS 6.0. However, we are not able to locate this menu / value / field within IIS
