On IIS 6.0 I have duplicated a web site and use different ports for it.
The site requires ssl and works fine when opened on the server.
However when I try to open the site from another computer I get the
following error:

--------------------------------
The connection was interrupted
The connection to 192.168.1.224:8088 was interrupted while the page was
loading.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try
again in a few moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's
network connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or
proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
--------------------------------

The original site works fine and when I enter that port (443) on a
duplicated site, it still doesn't work.
So i think it's not a firewall issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'd look at the firewall the server is behind and make sure that port 443 is
being forwarded correctly. It could be that the connection is being accepted
by the firewall but is then being terminated due to no response from the
server due to a misconfiguration. Can you try a browser on the server itself
to port 443, if that works then you know that IIS isn't the problem.

Oh, and one other things - you are using https:// rather than http:// to
port 443 (which I assume is SSL), are you? If you use http://www.domain.com:443
then you'll get the connection accepted but not get any other response from
the server because your browser won't be performing the SSL handshaking when
the server responds.

Thanks for the response.
The original site works fine on 443 port. When I stop the original site
and put the duplicated site to port 433 it doesn't work.
So it should not be a port/firewall issue.

The site in question here is "Exchange Virtual Server", that is a iis
virtual directory for exchange cluster.
The duplicated site works fine when called from the server so I'm not
sure where the problem could be...

Does the duplicated site have exactly the same host headers and IP as the
original site?

Just the ports are different. The original site is http: 80, and 443,
and the duplicated site is http:81 and ssl:8088.
SSL is used for the connection.

Given that you've already stated that it works from the server itself, you
need to work out what is blocking it between the other machines you're
testing with and IIS. This doesn't seem to be an IIS issue. Look at the
Windows firewall settings, and any proxy servers or firewalls that are in
place. Also check the IIS logs - if there's nothing being logged for these
requests then it follows that the connection isn't getting to IIS, so the
problem is elsewhere.

Can you raise the logging level of IIS?

It works now. I'm not sure what the problem was.
I created the sites from scratch and I tried width a different
certificate and now it works. Maybe the problem was with a certificate?
