After recreating a previously deleted Default Web Site in IIS 7, the other sites are no longer accessible by host header (all on :80).

Assuming the local domain is called company.local and having both an A host record for webserver.company.local and CNAME aliases for site_1.webserver.company.local through site_n.webserver.company.local, ping replies from the sites now state hosts cannot be found.

http://webserver does show the IIS welcome page.

What obvious steps might I have forgotten to take after recreating the Default Web Site?

  • if you can not ping the hosts then it is not IIS at fault.

  • @rob ok makes sense, but nothing has changed on the DNS Jun 20, 2014 at 9:13
  • try manually setting them up in the hosts file to show IIS does work correctly.

  • @rob yes that works Jun 20, 2014 at 9:21
  • cool, IIS is off the hook, now you can have fun tracking down your dns issue.
