New website in IIS will not load
Andrew Henderson
I am hosting two websites on my server and they function fine. These two websites are accessible inside and from the internet. I am trying to add a third local-only website, but it will not load in the browser. I have checked bindings, default document, user that the website runs as, permissions. When I test settings I get two checkmarks. I've even checked DNS. All I see is this page cannot be displayed.
I've compared settings with my other two websites and the only thing that's different is the alias, the fact that it will not use https, and the file path. I don't know what else to check.

I've found the problem. It was with my DNS settings. I have a CNAME record for the website that was redundant. i.e. page.domain.local.domain.localI have corrected this to read page.domain.local and all is working.
I located the problem by running nslookup in debug mode. To do this enter the following in the command line:
nslookup
set debug
page.domain.local
