Multiple Domain Names on One Server

I'm new to setting up a Web Server stuff in Windows 2003. I have a
couple sites that I've setup but want to allow all of them to reside
on one Windows 2003 server and need a bit of help. How do I create or
set the sites up on the server so when someone goes to www.sitea.com
it will take them to sitea on the server and so on with www.siteb.com
to siteb on the server.

Thanks, I'm thinking I'm just missing something very simple here.

1) Create multiple sites at IIS, either via unique IP address or host
header;

2) Setup proper name resolution, e.g. via DNS or Hosts file (for local
network).

Thanks for that information. But I need some more basic information
as well as I'm sure that will help when I get there. Where do I
create the sites in IIS? Do I create them as a new website (so its at
the same leval as default) or do I create them as a Virtual Directory
under the Default website?

Thanks.

Ok, I've got most of it figured out I think but one thing that doesn't
work. I have an .exe file that can be downloaded for people to run
but when they click on that link it says page can't be displayed. Not
sure what setting on the server is not allowing that from being run.

Thanks.

Hi,

See this article:

"How to allow users to download exe-files"
http://www.gafvert.info/notes/Download_Exe.htm

Although you have already set up multiple websites, this may be useful to
read anyway:

"Using Host Headers to host multiple websites on IIS 6.0"
http://www.gafvert.info/iis/article/iis_multiple_websites.htm

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help. I saw that article and had added the .exe to the
Mime types but it still gives me that error. Any other things I need
to look for?

What is logged in the IIS log? We need to know the status code, substatus
code and sc-win32 status code.

Right click on the parent in the tree for options, check "All Tasks"

Yes, you create them right along side the "Default Web" you see in there.

Thanks for all the help. I figured out what the issue was on the
exe. Have it working now.

Will see how things go for a few days.
