Web site unaccessable 1

[phil272]

I'm am not able to access our web site internally or externally. IIS is set up correctly (at least I think)
Web Site ID: Description - "Companyname", IP - "***.***.***.*", Port - "80".

Home Directory: C:\InetPub\

http://wwwroot\companyname

We use dreamweaver as our authoring software. I haven't been able to connect to the remote from local. Config is also correct in Dreamweaver (IP Address,Port & Password), but no connection. "I get an internal error" message.

Please Help our site needs updating.

Thanks,
Phillip

Is the site running on the IIS configuration panel?

Yes it is...

Are you connecting via a Domain Name, or through the actual, and internal/external IP address? If you are using the domain name, then you will have to setup your DNS Cname,and/or A records to point to the proper IP address. Are you certain that you have the correct IP address? Do you have physical access, or terminal access, to the IIS server so you can attempt 127.0.0.1 ?

set to connect via ip address from local.

DNS seems to have the right pointer:
Parent Domain - Company domain
Host - web
IP Address - xxx.xx.x.x (correct address)

Our BDC, which was email/web server, crashed. So we copy/pasted the folder in the Primary (win2000).
We kept the web IP address, and set it up in win2k.
I've changed the ip address in the BDC so it no longer uses the web ip. Could there be a conflict with the two?

Thanks,
Phillip

Ok, so from what you are explaining here I am assuming that these computers are on the outside of any router so when you say that you changed the IP address, you mean that you changed the actual IP address of the computer itself to the same IP address that is resolved by DNS, correct? Is IIS still running on the BDC? If so, then you have a conflict. If you can, disconnect the BDC from the network and restart your router and the win2K computer, then try to navigate to the website via the IP address you assigned to the win2k computer. Also, and if you can, go to the ain2k computer and attempt the localhost IP address and see if that works at all.

I had this very same problem, I was trying to setup a failover cluster, and I had IIS running on two machines; it really screwed EVERYTHING, including my router, up big time. I had to restart the two computers, after disabling IIS on one of them, and the router.
