Multiple website on one server - host header values doesn't
work

Hi!

My server with IIS 6.0 is reachable under some "frank.mycompany.com"
and I want to have more than one website hosted by the IIS, so I tried to use
host header values like "website1.frank.mycompany.com" or
"website2.frank.mycompany.com", but this didn't work.

 How can I do this (simple?) thing?

 

Thank you!

That's exactly how to do it.  You're probably pretty close.  Did you setup DNS
first to point to the server?  IIS host headers just define which site will
listen to the request.  It doesn't handle anything else.  So, make sure that you
can point the cname and that it returns an IP that is on the server, and then
make sure that on the server you have the IP, port and host header set and you
should be good.

What DNS do I have to configure and where? I have a IP address that points to
frank.mycompany.com but nothing more...

 

Thank you for helping! :-)

Whoever setup frank.mycompany.com should be able to setup the rest.  Basically,
whoever manages your DNS will know how to do that.  Just send them your request
and tell them what the domain name should look like and have them point it to
the same IP as frank.mycompany.com.
