Hi
I'm trying to setup IIS on my Win2K3 server. I have several virtual
directories under Default Web Site, all of which can be accessed using IE
from any machine in my LAN.

However, when accessing it over the internet I just get the under
construction page when requesting the root directly, or "The page cannot be
displayed" when trying to access any of the virtual folders.

Directory Browsing is enabled on all of these and return what I expect when
I access IIS from ony of my LAN machines. This isn't an firewall issue
either as port 80 is open and forwards onto my Win2K3 server fine. This is
proved by the fact that IIS return the "Under Construction" page when
accessing over the internet,

My Default Web Site uses DefaultAppPool, which is configured to use "Network
Service" account. This account has all the relevant NTFS permissions as far
as I can tell.

Any ideas

Ben

Hi,

a) In IE, please disable "Show Friendly HTTP errors" under Tools -> Internet
Options -> Advanced and reload the page. "Page can not be displayed" is a
pretty generic error. Down the bottom of the page you should see either "Can
not find server or DNS error" -or- a HTTP status code. Please let us know
what you now se

b) please look in the IIS request logfiles in
c:\windows\system32\logfiles\w3svc1\ and find the log file entries for the
requests in question (the ones that aren't working). PLease post them here.

Cheers
Ken

Hi Ken

Thanks for your help.

The error itself is "Cannot find server or DNS Error". This is display when
accessing the url http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/sourcesafe/vssservice.asmx.

The log lines produced when the above error is returned are as follows:

Hi,

Your client at 212.24.92.210 is able to access /sourcesafe/vssservice.asmx
successfully, see:

2006-05-01 18:59:45 W3SVC1 10.0.0.1 GET /sourcesafe/vssservice.asmx - 80 -
212.24.91.210 200 0 1236

HTTP status of 200 = "OK"

Something else is occuring if you are seeing "cannot find server or DNS
error", e.g. some kind of proxy server blocking access or no response from
the web service.

You may need to use Ethereal (or Netmon) to debug this further, so we can
actually see what's being sent by the server, and what's being received by
the client. YOu can get Ethereal from www.ethereal.com

Cheers
Ken
