Re: CNAME not working

ok, so i just got it working by doing the exact same thing i tried the other
day. i editted the header that was there and placed the alais word into it.
problem solved. can't honestly say why this did not work before.

ok, i have opened up the old iis5 server and triple checked ALL settings
compared to the settings on the new iis6 server and there is NO difference.
yet the CNAME worked fine when pointing to that old server. there is no
difference in authentication, ntfs permissions or website settings on ANY
tab. this is still not working. i am missing something somewhere else maybe.

ok....so when i put the header in for the site it completely takes the
site
offline. meaning just a white page.

There has to be other people out there that have IIS 6.0 and are using a
CNAME record???

Sure, I do it. It works.

You have something wrong in the Site definition,
the default file name or settings, the permissions on
the actual files (NTFS), or the AUTHENTICATION
methods (unlikely since you get a blank screen but I
put this in for completeness since it is another common
problem -- easily created and easily solved.)

still looking for a fix here... everything i have tried takes the site
out.

Hi thanks again for replying,
I have checked and there are no host headers specified, just the
default
ip
address and the tcp port 80. Should i be putting my cname in there?


As I indicated you MIGHT consider trying it to see
if there is a difference.

thanks for the replies,

I am definitely missing something here then, the Default website
does
not appear to have any host headers but how could i find out for
sure? also, the Default Website is set to (all unassigned) for the
IP Address, is this where i should be looking?

Click the "Advanced" button next to the IP IIS listens on to see any
host
headers.
