Creating Subdomain In IIS Or Configuring Multiple Websites?
Dec 20, 2010
I have a IIS server in my company which runs our intranet application, We assigned one static IP to it in order to access through internet. when we to mapped our application address eg : http://ip/applicationname to one host name, after loading when i try to access any page it was again showing ip address instead of my host name. When I check with my ISP, he told me that to resolve this either you have to put your application folder in root directory(directly in Inetput/wwwroot) or you have to create sub domain, when I put all my fies to root directory it is working well, but , I found that for all other application which i put the folders inside wwroot are taking the config file from root, how can i resolve it... or just explain me how to configure subdomain in my server to solve this issue....
I am creating a social networking site and one of the requirements is to have the subdomain like URL for each user. For example, for the user1 his profile page will be user1.mysitename.com and for the user2 profile page will be user2.mysitename.com.
Can it be done using url aliasing? basically user1.mysitename.com should be www.mysitename.com/profile.aspx?username=user1
i have on website with name theweddingstore.ie now i have done url rewritting for this website but now we want to make "http://www.theweddingstore.ie/prakash" to "http://www.prakash.theweddingstore.ie".I can't start how to make it and i am totally confuse any anyone guide me and i have dedicate server.
I am intend to create a web application and host it.But i want to develop something fresh in the internet world, buti feed the ideas are saturated for me though it is not.Any guys who have any idea can share with..[If u dont mind]Also refer me URL's that are already implemented with really good ideas.I tried but i was not creative enough to think something different :)
I'm trying to configure my Solution to publish multiple web sites to Azure using the 1.3 SDK and I want them to run under one Web Role. I've added the entry to the Sites element as per the CHM file and when I deploy to Azure the Instance starts up. Now for the symptoms:
Browsing to the "Primary" (first site added to the solution) everything works fine.
Browsing to the "Secondary" site throws the following error:
Exception type: ConfigurationErrorsException Exception message: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Mvc, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. (E:approot_WASR_1web.config line 28)
What have I tried so far without success (sigh):
1. I noticed that by default VStudio (2010 Ultimate) did not include the "Secondary" project output in the cspkg file. Setting a project dependency seems to have fixed that problem (or at least I now see it in the output window during the build process).
2. I've set "Copy Local=true" for the System.Web.Mvc on the "Secondary" project still nothing.
3. I have a CName setup for the "Secondary" project and use the hostHeader parameter on the Binding element so I haven't found a good way of testing this local so I'm limited in diagnostic info.
One thought that I had was that both projects now contain a WebRole.cs file, should that be the case in this configuration?
I am staring a new site that would provide simple gadgets that can be embedded into any site for easy use. i am developing my application in .net,vs2008 ,c# . but i have no idea about developing applications that can be embedded.
I've a solution which consists of a web project and a class library project. The web project solution directly references a wcf service. There is a 2nd wcf service, but it is the class library project which directly references it. I'm adding the class library (output) as reference to my web project.
Hence in my web project's web.config I now have two scf services configured. This process was easy since I had manually copied the app.config (system.serviceModel part) directly to the web.config, and then configured the web project to talk directly with another wcf service (directly, not through any dlls).
My web project needs to talk to a 3rd web service (asmx). Again I plan to bring this as a class library and include the dll into my web project. (This is a separate solution). When I took a look at this particular class lib project's app.config, I thought i just copy those necessary sections and merge it correspondingly with my current web.config.
So for the 3rd class lib project (which references the asmx service) I happened to notice that it had, under the bindings node, a node called basicHttpBinding, and next, a customBinding. Then further under the client node, there were two endpoint nodes which had the service attributes. (I don't understand why there should be two end points here first of all).
So I copied what came under the bindings node (from the 3rd class lib prj app.config) and appended it to the bindings node (in the web.config). I did a similar process for copying the end points too. But now when I try run the web site I get an exception which halts at the time of initializing the soap client (asmx service): it says something like its not able to determine the endpoint for this contract.
The web.config before I add the asmx web service looks like this:
What I want to do is take traffic that is going to shop.mywebsite.com and redirect or rewrite (I'm not sure of the terminology) the domain to be www.mywebsite.com/shop. Both shop.* and www.* are separate web applications (nopCommerce and Umbraco respectively) that don't seem to cooperate when I've tried to nest them. Both applications are in a Server 2008 R2/IIS 7.5 environment.
I've searched around stackoverflow and what I've found is a lot of answers to mapping the other direction (ie subfolder to a subdomain) but that's not what I'm looking for as far as I understand the problem.
The end goal is to combine the SEO reputation of the shop subdomain into the www subdomain. I readily admit that I might have this all backwards and am willing to try any suggestions I'm offered.
I have an app with multiple subdomains, subone.parent.com, subtwo.parent.com.
I have a logon page at parent.com/login. When a user logs in I redirect them to the proper domain based on which one they are a member of. This works fine.
FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = new FormsAuth... string encTicket = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(ticket); var cookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, encTicket); cookie.Domain = subone.parent.com Repsonse.Cookies.Add(cookie)
This properly authenticates the user for subone.parent.com and not subtwo.parent.com. However I would like to do the following.
If the user goes back to parent.com, I would like to know that they are logged in and redirect them back to subone.parent.com.
Is there a best practice for accomplishing this? Or do I have to set another cookie for parent.com?
we are working on a portal which will have multiple websites sites loaded in same container meaning there will be a
1)Top Header showing Portals name and currently loaded app's name
2)left hand side frame having menu which will list applications which are independent of one another.Each of these application is hosted on different servers sharing same DNS name for ex .
i) [URl]
ii) [URl]
3) Righ hand frame ::this is very individual applications pages will load with there own submenu.
Now top header and left hand side menu are common across the applications while the contents in right hand frame will application specific. How can I achieve this using master page ,without requiring indivdual application to have same master page copied in there virtual directory
We have about 50 web-sites, running in different application pools, that read from a common cache database (using Microsoft Enterprise Library Caching application block). We currently have a console application which populates the cache at 3AM every morning. However, we want to get rid of this application and get the cache to automatically refresh expired items, using the ICacheItemRefreshAction interface.
We were going to create our cache object in the Global.asax of each of the 50 web-sites. However, my concern is that if we set a cache-expiration policy in Global.asax, that each of the 50 web-sites will trigger a refresh action, causing the data to be re-cached 50 times. We don't want only 1 web-site to set the expiration policies, as then the 49 other web-sites will have a dependency on that 1 web-site, and that's an architecture no-no.
There are existing questions that pertain to this subject, but I feel my case may be slightly different(correct me if i'm wrong).
I have two web sites that are almost identical as far as graphics go. They will need only to have a different logo. Additionally I have set up the database so that products can be flagged to show up on either or, or both web sites. Is it possible to set up IIS to point the second web site to the first web site and then have my code determine which domain the request is coming from?
For instance, web site 1 will have domain www.myfirstwebsite.com and the second web site will have a domain like www.mysecondwebsite.com.
If I did go this route I'm guessing I would check in the master page code behinds Page_Load event for the domain and then when I want to display products on my front end I can reference against the variable in the master page.
I was wondering about the best MVC practices for handling multiple websites from one MVC codebase. The functitonallity will pretty much be the same on all five sites, with most differences coming from styling/branding. Is it possible to dynamically set a Masterpage in MVC ? Should this even be attempted? Can everything get handled cleverly with routing?
I am currently working on a project which involves three different websites with a lot of common functionality. At the moment the common functionality is placed in a different website full of user controls.
The problem is sharing the user controls across the multiple websites. Looking around on SO and other websites, the only solution seems the be using virtual directories. As this is a workable solution (we us this at the moment) it doesn't seem as a "clean" solution.
Which "best practices" exist on sharing common functionality (including the GUI/HTML) between different site?
Is it (for example) possible to create a single Web Application project and deploy subdirectories (each with their own web.config) to different production environments?
I'm trying to plan a series of websites that all share many of the resources such as css/jscript/images/content etc. For this reason I wanted to run all of the websites under the same application and IIS profile, but depending on the URL being used change the masterpage and theme/skin.
The ASP.NET membership database seems as if it was designed with this goal in mind because it allows you to setup multiple applications, however I believe the purpose for which this was built was to allow applications to be run under virtual directories/fodlers, not on seperate urls.
We have about 70 sites on our server that use same application (with different Application Pools) and they use for example a shared skin file. So is there a way to load this file to memory and share for all applications? what I mean is to sharing cache in multiple websites to decrease pressure on server.
I just upgraded to windows 4G hosting from old windows hosting on Godaddy. I have hosted multiple websites on this hosting account. The primary domain website [URL] is working fine after the upgrade but all other sites hosted in same account report some errors.
tag to stop other child web.config to inherit anything from parent.
I use asp.net to code my websites. Before 4G upgrade everything used to work like a charm. Has anybody else also experiences the same issues? If yes, what are the changes that we need to make to support multiple web sites in same 4G hosting account?
I would like to have several websites that use the same styles, scripts, and App_GlobalResources. What would be the best way to structure my websites (web applications) to use the same files? I also need to share user controls with code behind.
I created a mixed mode authentication mechanism based on a few of the articles that I have read on this topic. It's similar to something like this: [URL]
Basically, there are two web applications. One accepts the Windows Auth and one accepts Forms Auth. The Windows Auth then creates a forms auth ticket and passes control to the Forms auth application. This solution works fine when both applications are housed within the same IIS web site.
Now, order to control the security of this solution we set up multiple IIS web sites on the same machine. Web Site 1 serves external traffic (forms auth) and Web Site 2 serves internal traffic (windows auth).
So the design is that an internal user can hit the site using Windows auth via a internal name (myserver) while the external users use Forms Auth hitting [URL].
All that said, the solution works when the two applications are in the same site. Doesn't work when they are in different sites.
the account we use to copy/publish websites to our web server is not allowing us access to push websites. I've added this account to the permissions in the links listed in the below link, but i don't have success when trying to push remotely. When the account is in the local admins account, everything works flawlessly, but we are not allowed to have it in there. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vssetup/thread/31be047e-4716-4974-b8a1-be0111b50199 I've googled and searched a lot for this particular error, but am not finding an answer that helps. We get this error, 'Unable to create the Web 'http://edea01/test/planning'. You are not authorized to perform the current operation', and the above link is the scenario that matches mine the most. I don't do develompment work, but am asked to figure out this connection problem.
I have several web sites, all of which use the same JavaScript library. How can I "reference" this library from each of my web sites? If I just import the library into my web site in Visual Studio, I get in trouble as soon as the library changes, because I then have to update it in all web sites manually. It would be much easier to place the library in an external folder and just reference it from my web sites. How can I do this with Visual Studio?
The way we have to update our site now is to create a copy of the website project locally. Make changes. Then take the dll and any other new files and copy them to the project on the server. Sometimes they want us to work on something they need uploaded right away and other times work on something that needs to be uploaded in the future. So I have to do silly things to give them what they want now and exclude what I am working on for later. What is the best way to resolve this? I just wanna have to upload a piece of the project and certainly not the a whole new dll everytime.
