Guest withers Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 The sub-domain LyonshallBooks.Lyonshall.net gives page not found. Books.Lyonshall.net works. In both cases, I set a DNS record for lyonshall.net with a Host A record for the subdomain and then an IIS website for subdomain.lyonshall.net. Is LyonshallBooks.Lyonshall.net invalid because the sub-domain name starts with the domain name Lyonshall? Or is there another setting I have to make? Thanking you in anticipation.
Guest Ryan Hanisco Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 RE: Sub-domain name limitation Withers, This isn't a limitation on the name or anything like that. this would either be a configuration problem in your DNS or an issue with your IIS configuration. In this case Ping is your friend. From a Command Prompt, ping LyonshallBooks.Lyonshall.net. You should see it resolve to the IP address that you have bound to the IIS instance. You don't get an IP address, then your problem is DNS. If you do get the correct solution and still cannot see the site, then you have a configuration issue with the IIS site. I am expecting that this will be an issue with your DNS as normally you would get some kind of error from IIS if the problem were there. -- Ryan Hanisco MCSE, MCTS: SQL 2005, Project+ http://www.techsterity.com Chicago, IL Remember: Marking helpful answers helps everyone find the info they need quickly.
