With HTTP 1.0, all sites need an individual IP address/port combination.
HTTP 1.1 adds the 'Host' header, which permits the client to tell the server which name it thinks it's talking to.
It looks like you can configure this by going to the web site's properties in the Internet Information Services Admin Tool, then on the Web Site tab, hit Advanced next to IP Address. Under 'Multiple identities for this Web Site', highlight 'Default' and hit Edit. Under Host Header Name, enter the name of the site. Repeat for each website, making sure they're all on port 80 (since the port is encoded in the URL, defaulting to 80).
You then need to add each name to your DNS either as an A record pointing to the server's IP address, or, preferably, a CNAME record pointing to the server's canonical name.
You'll need to check that all your clients are using HTTP 1.1 before doing this, but all new browsers are 1.1 capable.
If you need to support 1.0, you'll need to add some IP addresses. In Network Connections, go to Properties for your Local Area Connection. Highlight 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)' in the list, then click Properties. Hit Advanced, then under IP Addresses, hit Add to add a new address.
Add your new IP addresses to DNS, then set your websites up as appropriate.
The 1.0 solution is very wasteful of addresses and resources, so the Host header is preferable.

But there must be thousands of companies developing content management systems! cmsdev = "content management system development". Surely you don't think your company was the only one?

IN MS-OPERATING SYSTEM,
"A FILE CANNOT BE RENAMED (OR) NAMED AS 'CON'(WITHOUT SINGLE QUOTES)".WHY IS IT SO????
PLEASE CLEAR MY DOUBT.
|
|
|
|

CON is a reserved device in all DOS-based systems. It refers to the console device; for input, the keyboard, and the monitor for output. You cannot create a file using a reserved device name, else the system will have no idea which object you want to operate on.

A quibble, not just DOS based systems. The NT kernel family kept this convention despite having no DOS lineage.
For bonus points, there are other reserved device names that most people have forgotten:
AUX - The auxilary device, usually mapped to com1, kernel debugging goes here.
PRN - The default printer, usually mapped to lpt1.
NUL - The null device, anything written here is throw away.
These, plus CON, and the better known COM[1-9] and LPT[1-9] devices are all invalid filenames still today. More amusing, they are invalid even in combination with any file extension, i.e. naming a file aux.txt is an error as well.
Anyone been around long enough to remember ox.sys or winaux.sys?

At least it's consistent.

I've been around long enough, I'm sure, but I don't remember hearing of them before. What were they used for?

They were little DOS device drivers used in Win16 coding days to hook the AUX output and write it to the block of memory at 0xB000 that represented a mono monitor. All serious Win16 programming setups had both a VGA monitor and a mono monitor attached, so your debug output and the old CodeView debugger could run on the mono monitor.

I've recently setup a domain in my house with roaming profiles. I've been looking at the ntuser.ini file on the domain controller (where my profiles are stored). I assume it's purpose is to keep a list of folders to exclude from roaming. Some of the folders listed I would like to actually be roaming though.
My question is what is the best way to modify these settings? Should I edit the file directly or is there a program I can use to configure roaming profiles?

Hi,
we have an user account in a win2k domain. This account is used only by local services to log on and get access to the LAN and the exchange server, so we set "password never expires" and "user cannot change password".
This worked great for a few months. But today the local services cancelled with ERROR_PASSWORD_EXPIRED. So I called the admin, he said "don't know what is means, the experts are not here today" and reset the password. Now the servies can log on again, everythings seems to be okay.
1. How long is it going to run this time?
2. Why does ADS not do what it is told, are there any hidden setting?
Thanks,
corinna

How can I configure my Windows XP Pro laptop with multiple profiles, so that I can logon to 2 different NT domains?
I have a small domain at home which I usually log on to, but recently I have been using my laptop more and more at work and I really need to log on to the work domain when I am there.
I'm thinking I should be able to get a new choice in the Logon window that allows me to choose to log on to three items, instead of just the two that I currently have ("this computer" and "home domain"), but I'm not sure how to go about this without breaking anything. 
Thanks

You need to get your computer added to the domain at work, for it to appear in the login screen.
Or you can login locally then map a drive to your server using your work domain user creditials..

|

Try typing in the domain name at login, your going to need access to an account that can add a computer to a domain but this might work, and it might also switch you from your home domain to work. I agree that MS should do something to allow multiple network/etc configurations.

We have got a new server (W2K) on the company an new user names.
Everytime I try to open an old vb-project, I get the message:
"Access Denied"
the projects log-File shows:
"Line 86: Class MSComDlg.CommonDialog of the control CommonDialog1 was no loaded control-class"
Or the like. (I am translating the messages from German)
All works correct if I login as local Administrator.
How can I "access" "C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\MSCOMM32.OCX" with my user-login on the Server-Domain?
By the way: I think its the same cause for following problems:
- I cannot anymore give open access on the network of my local folders.
- Ugly problems in login to Visual Source Save (only starting as local Admin, but then not allowed to access the database on the network )
Thanks in advance

Looks like you need to add your new Account to the local admins group or if the company frowns on that stuff ...the local power users might do .....
Thanks

I am looking for a solution that will prevent resources (HTML and images) from theft.
I want to be able to have administrate the "system" so that text and photos can be viewed for only a limited amount of time (that I determine) while disabling common options like "View Source", "Save As", "Print" etc.
Does anyone know of a solution that can prevent content piracy?

It's still a web site. You simply cannot stop a determined individual from writing their own HTTP client (very easy with the WinInet library). Or there's always telnet:
telnet www.codeproject.com 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.codeproject.com
<cr>
<cr> and the server starts spewing HTML at you.
