Question

User1501783605 posted

Hello there

I got 2 web sites is there a way I can

Deploy both on two different sites in IIS and config to access the both from the local host

Eg.

Site: 1 Accounts

Site: 2 Customer

 

I do not want to use the default web site as this was already dedicated to use .net 2 for other site.

 

So I am looking to access both AccountS and Customer sites

Like Eg. //localhost/Accounts

               //localhost/Customer

Instated of

//localhost:83/Accounts

//localhost:84/Customer

 

Appreciate your views

You'll need to set them up as virtual directories under your default site.  Or set them up as;

http://localhost-customer

http://localhost-accounts

and amend the hosts file on your local machine so that localhost-customer and localhost-accounts both resolve to 127.0.0.1.

For the localhost-customer approach to work, you create a new site entirely, the same way the default site is set up, only you specify "localhost-customer" in the "host name" property for the binding.  That way when you go to localhost-customer it knows to serve up your customer site, and when you just go to localhost it will serve the default site.
