IIS Question.

[Guest]

I can browse a web application from client machines but when I am on the
hosted server, I can not browse the web application when I am on the server
itself.

Please let me know if I should clarify more.

TIA..

Hi,

1) You can configure the website also to look to the machine local address
(keep your public as well)
2) Check your host file and add your website address pointing to the local
address

yourIpAddress www.yourSite.com

Re open the explorer and type your address.

Regards

Salvador,

Thanks for the response. Could you please give more details on how to carry
out those steps or point me to an article on line?

What's the address of the site what is the error message you're getting?

To see a site on the local server, use the address localhost.

http:\\localhost

You might need to include the name of the directory containing your
site, like this:

http:\\localhost\mysite

May be I was not clear enough before.

On my dev machine, I could view the site.
Then I deploy the site to site1

From my dev machine, I could view the site on site1 server.

If I get to site1 server using remote desktop connection and try to brows
the site using http://localhost/sitename or http://site1/sitename, I fail.
Yet the same application hosted on site1 could be browsed from my dev machine
or any other client machine.

I hope this clarified any misunderstanding.

TIA...

Ohhh... well... that's different. In that case, check to make sure
you have a website (or an "Application") set up on the server. What
OS is runnign on the server? And what version of IIS?
