How to create subdomains in IIS? For example if i have 2 URLS - portal.ABC.com and product.ABC.com and both have different projects in visual studio.Net.
If i have to deploy them on the same server, how to map their URLs?
Also, is it possible to share the session information between both of them?
I'm trying to handle two domains using one IIS site, the reason to save money on web hosting so I would like to know if that's possible.
I'm using IIS Windows 2008 R2 + .Net 4
I am using a Network Solutions (NS) shared hosting account. When adding two domain names to my NS account I originally had my entire hosting folder "/htdoc/" assigned to my first domain. I was instructed by customer service to create a new sub folder for each domain and assign the domain names to each one using my NS account manager. Each website is its own application with vastly different settings At this point my directory looked like this:
/htdocs/website1/
/htdocs/website2/
/htdocs/website3/
I then got this error:
It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS
Naturally I called NS assuming that all they need to do was change a setting so that each sub folder would serve as the main directory for each site. Instead I was told that I need to configure /htdocs/ as its own application with a special web.config file configured to handle this in some way. Of course my next question was how do I configure the web.config to solve this problem and instead of answering the question they said that the question was outside the scope of their customer support.
What I need is simple. Code to add to a web.config with default settings in the /htdocs/ directory that specifies the sub directories as the parent directories for those websites and that no setting in any specifec site should have an effect on any others.
example :
1) mumbai.domain.com
2) delhi.domain.com
3) banglore.domain.com
or
City name in URL
how to manage this...
I have an application in the root. I setup BlogEngine to run in a directory of the account. There is a web config in root and another one in the directory. If I have a Web.Config in the root, then I can run application but not the blog. However, if Idisable the root web.conf then the blog will work and, as expected, the application will not work. How can I get both to work without having to integrate the Blog and the Appication? I understand this is a common problem in GoDaddy's hosting account. Has anyone found a solution?

I created aMicrosoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer with a window application. It worked fine when I was in net A with domain A. My application is now moved to net B with domain B. However when I login to my computer I still login netA with domain A, userID and password for A. I then use a A/B switch to switch to net B to run my application running ReportViewer (no login directly to B). But when I run ReportViewer I got errors like below.
The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.

[code]....
I am developing a single web application that will dynamically change its content depending on which domain name is used to reach the site. Multiple domains will point to the same application. I wish to use the following code (or something close) to detect the domain name and perform the customizations:
[code]....
I would like to test the functionality of the above using the ASP.NET development server. I created mappings in the local HOSTS file to map [URL] to 127.0.0.1, and [URL] to 127.0.0.1. I then browse to the application with the browser using [URL] (etc).
When I try to test this code using the ASP.net development server the [URL] always says localhost. It does NOT capture the host entered in the browser, only localhost.
Is there a way to test the URL detection functionality using the development server?
I have written code to upload file through httpweb request.No I want to save this file outside the root folder on server.
View 2 RepliesI have coded my application to send mail and it works fine some of the time depending on the to or from address specified in the particular message but at other times I am getting a relay error.
"The server will not relay mail for foreign domains".
I HAVE authenticated myself to the mail server using a valid username and password in the code.Basically here is the setup. Our site is hosted overseas in the states with one company, our nameservers are also in the states but with our company not the hosting company. Our mail server is local (that is here in New Zealand). I'm pretty sure that the code is right because I've read dozens of posts on here which point to coding errors and it seems to be right.
Do I need MX records or anything like that in some place?
So we have been using the same login gode to connect to various domains in asp.net, with and without MVC. The code works. We have a new server, first one to run server 2008 r2, set up with a directory structure similar to one of the ones that has been working. Using forms authentication, I set up in the web.config
<add name="ADConnectionString" connectionString="LDAP://10.1.XXX.XXX"/>
and
<!--<authentication mode="Windows" />-->
<membership defaultProvider="MyADMembershipProvider" >
<providers >
<add name="MyADMembershipProvider"
type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
connectionStringName="ADConnectionString"
connectionUsername="XXXXBrown.Eric"
connectionPassword="XXXX"
connectionProtection="None"
/>
</providers>
</membership>
It connects to build the membership provider just fine, but when I tryto use the exact same username and password to login on the forms login page (the stock asp.net stuff) it fails to login. same user, same password that's being used to connect with the membership provider. If I change the password in the web.config, I get an error that it's incorrect, so I know that the membership provider is getting connected with those credentials. What I can't figure out is why can't I use the same credentials to login? I've checked:
The user is not locked.
the user is not set to change password on next logon.
The user is not expired.
I was configured an application in IIS,while running it shows login page successfully and i entered the credentials then it was redirected to HomePage with an error of(HomePage not displayed but the URL is rediredcted to HomePage)
Error message 401.2.: Unauthorized: Logon failed due to server configuration.Already i was searched in google and tried to resolve the problem but no use.
I want to redirect different domains which I have to my newly created website using dotnetnuke. As it is currently working on this site [URL](when user type thescripts.com it redirects user to [URL]
View 2 RepliesQuestion, I have a few asp.net c# projects... but I only use one webhosting to host all the projects. My question is,
Is it possible for me to register like 2 domains and point each domain to 2 projects within that web host?
For example:
Http://mysite1.com will point to the "../project1/default.aspx"
http://mysite2.com will point to the "../project2/default.aspx"
So I know you can share your cookies across subdomains eg. staging.mysite.com and www.mysite.com etc by setting the domain of the cookies to ".mysite.com"
BUT, is there a way to share across all the sub domains EXCEPT one. e.g. the cookies will not persist on images.mysite.com?
I have a website which has two domains added. Both domains point to the root of the website. Is it possible to alter the robots.txt so that one of the domains doesn't get crawled, while the other still does?
View 1 RepliesI have 2 applications. One on asp.net webforms [URL] which should provide authentication, user logs in and I can use the cookie to authenticate on my asp.net mvc app located at [URL]. All I'd like to do is able to access the cookie so I can get the userId that was stored in it using the FormsAuthentication.
They use normal authentication provided by microsoft;
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms domain="test.com" loginUrl="Default.aspx" protection="All" path="/" requireSSL="false" timeout="45" name=".ASPXAUTH" slidingExpiration="true" defaultUrl="Default.aspx" cookieless="UseDeviceProfile" enableCrossAppRedirects="false"/>
</authentication>
This cookie should be accessible to any submain on [URL] right?
I have an application with different sections. Each section is accessed through a domain. Example:
[URL] I need to preserve the session when the user navigates from one to another URL. The application is the same in IIS. How to accomplish that?
I have several applications in different domains with the same code, how feasible that through the admin domain [URL] read the file. aspx.
If I upgrade an application, I copied every current updates on all domains.
I could use to copy the file only once on the server [URL] and in all domains, the update fixes.
I have a web app located at [URL] and I have several domains, such as [URL], [URL], etc. all pointing to the same directory in IIS. I use Host Headers to acheive this by setting the 'Host Header Values' under properties for the main site (under the Web site identification section). Based on the host header value I perform different functions in my pages.
Because of the way I have it set up, all the domains share the same files, web.config, etc. I have set the 'machinekey' in my web.config and have forms authemtication. However, when I go to MyMainSite.com and log in and then the user clicks a link and gets directed to MyFirstSite.com the user is shown as logged out. I need the user to be logged in and I need to be able to access the logged in user profile to display certain information. I thought by setting the 'machinekey', i could acheive this, but it does not seem to work.
how to go about having a single log on for my users?
The articles I have found show the same domain or have different domains each with a different web.config. The way they describe does not seem to work for me.
I want to use my asp.net mvc application with multiple domains (maybe of hundreds),
so I have created custom Route class that matches requests including domain.
Each domain could has different routes, so the number of routes in RouteTable can be huge
(eg 500 domains, each 20 routes = 10000 routes in RouteTable).
I am considering how it will be efficient?
I have an idea to replace RouteTable.Routes (of type RouteCollection)
with custom one (of type Dictionary<string, RouteCollection>).
But how I can override default route matching mechanism with my custom mechanism which will be two step:
1) retrieve RouteCollection from dictionary based on domain name
2) retrieve specyfic Route object (standard route matching mechanism)
How can I do this?
