I'm trying to set up IIS on an Azure VM so that I can use make a small page to host images generated there.

I've set up IIS and from IIS Manager (while RDP'd to the VM) when I select the Default Website and select Browse *:80 (http) I can see the test page I created and placed at: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\index.htm

In the actions menu of IIS Manager below Browse Website is also the option to browse the site via the DNS Name.

When I click that option, I get an error in IE that "This page can't be displayed".

I checked the bindings and the only difference between the two is apparently that one has the DNS Name that I copied from the VM Overview page in Azure.

Any ideas on things to check to fix this?

  • Make sure to point it from domain provider too.. May be A record would be suffice pointing your ip to domain name at domain provider ie godaddy etc – Aravinda Oct 10 '17 at 4:40
  • Thanks for the response. The DNS name is already set up by Azure by default. It works fine for RDP... it's just not returning the default page I have set in IIS when I browse to it. There is no domain provider involved this is just the Azure default DNS name I'm using. – Bleak Morn Oct 10 '17 at 17:04

Only add host name in IIS Management ,cannot let you browser your website via DNS name.

1.If you want to browser your website just from a domain name, you can configure DNS name for your VM like this:

Then we can browser the web site via the DNS name I have configured.

2.If you want to browser your website from your own domain name,you can use Azure DNS. Also , you need to configure your domain name by your domain name provider.

More about Azure DNS, refer to this document. You can also find how to delegate custom DNS with Azure DNS.
