IIS6 and .Net application
(+++)machinename:5058/something
and I get the working page of the application.
In documentation, there's all this talk of setting up:
(+++)sitebuilder.mydomain/whatever
But there's no instructions. I figure I have to create an A-Name in the DNS server. I have it point to the machine's IP address. There isn't a place to add a port number.
The next step, or so I figured, was to create a website in IIS6. It's been given a host header name:80 for one configuration and no host header name:5058 for another configuration.
I can hear many of you saying that I am going to be getting errors, and I do. I can't start the site. (Similar to, "This process is in use by another process." And I've read the accompanying system log entries.)
I get the gist of what's going wrong.
The question is, how do I make IIS6 answer to:
(+++)sitebuilder.mydomain
using port 80, sending the connection to the running .Net service?
Do I need to kill the service and use instead, as the new website's home directory, the folder of some particular file of the .Net application?
Thanks.
PS: The (+++) is the appropriate url preface but this is used instead in this message so as not to make it look like a url - which it seems I cannot as of yet use.
