Author Putting a site live
Diddle

2005-08-12, 5:57 pm

I've finished the development of a few sites and I now want to put them live.

I've gone down the path of mapping channel names to host headers and where
I'm stuck now is having one method of viewing the site in read only mode and
one where I can have it in read write to allow users to edit the content.

I've created two websites both pointing to the same physical files. e.g.

www.mysite.com
admin.mysite.com

I've got www.mysite.com setup to be annoymous access which works fine. I've
set admin.mywebsite.com to be basic authentication. I understand that they
both need to point to the same channel name so we have used an isapi filter
to redirect requests for admin.mysite.com to www.mysite.com. The redirection
does happen but no authentication takes place and I see the public site.

Can anyone give me some advice or point me to a URL that might help.

Many thanks

Hi,

You need to create 2 iis virtual server one with authentication required and
one with anonymous access.

It would look like

/w3svc/1/ = www.mysite.com + Anonymous access
/w3svc/2/ = admin.mysite.com + Integrated Authentication + ISAPI Rewrite

What URLRewrite tool are you using? I suggest ISAPIRewrite
(www.isapirewrite.com).

Regards

I am using that isapi filter.

I'm not using virtual sites, I have created two seperate websites in IIS.

Thanks

Hi,

are you using host headers?

are you sure the admin.mysite.com is hitting the correct IIS Web Site (aka
IIS Virtual Server).

Hi Angus

Yes I am using host headers. What do you mean by virtual server? Do you
mean virtual diredctory?

Whats happening now is that when i go to admin.mysite.com it prompts me to
authenticate, once I do it takes me to an error page saying

Directory Listing Denied

Its although it doesnt recognise it as a MCMS site, but both domains are
setup in SCA as being MCMS.

Hi Diddle,

An IIS Web site is also known as an IIS Virtual Server.

Anyway - you should analyze your IIS Logs to see which URL is being hit.
