I have inherited a web site and am trying to figure it out. The site
www.foo.com is not listed in the web sites in iis. However, it is on the
server. When I look at other web sites for example foo.com which is a web
site in iis, it is redirected to www.foo.com. Somewhere in iis www.foo.com
is defined and described. Where should I look?

Thanks Bill

It may be possible that you have a site with no host-header defined. In this
case, all requests where the host header doesn't match any of the configured
host headers will be answered by this site.

Cheers
Ken

In addition to Ken's answer. Perhaps the website is named something else?
Have you checked the host header names for all websites?

Yes absolutely. I made the assumption you'd checked the host-headers for all
the sites. If you've just checked the names of the sites listed in IIS
Manager, then that's not enough. You need to do what Kristofer has
suggested:

Right-click on each website -> properties -> website tab -> advanced button

Cheers
Ken

I had checked all the host headers. If it has no host header defined, where
do I find information on the default directory used by iis for the site?

Thanks,
Bill

It will be the website which has no host header defined, and in its property
page you can where the root directory points in the physical filesystem.

You can use the following script code from my blog entry to enumerate all
websites and their bindings for a given server (which you have admin access
to, of course). You should be able to quickly locate the binding that
represents "no host header" and from there, back to the Site ID and Comment
(which is what shows up in the IIS Manager UI). Of course, it would also be
trivial to modify the script to report on the physical directory of the root
of the website, but I leave the exercise to the reader.
