Setting up a new server - 2012 with IIS8. I added a new web site to IIS8. I set the IP address and the hostname.

Yet when I browse to the site, it goes to the Default Website instead. I stopped the Default web site and I get a 404. I tried restarting IIS as well.

I read a few pages on how to set up a new website and I seem to be in compliance. The Default Website is just a fallback as I understand it. With the hostname and/or the IP address set, IIS should direct traffic to the new web site, right?

I made sure the folder had permissions for the app pool (though the Test Settings is still failing the Authorization Test.) and the IUSR. I temporarily used the Administrator account instead of pass-thtough so I could pass the Authorization Test.

I enabled ASP.Net impersonation.

I verified default document file name. I tried a simple .html to get around any ASP.net issues.

I deleted it and started from scratch, using the DefaultAppPool this time.

What am I missing here?

Thanks, Brad

  • Ok...how many IP addresses does your server have, what IP address is assigned to the default website and what IP address are you trying to use on your new site? – Kev Sep 10 '13 at 00:14
  • One IP address on the server. No IP address or host is assigned to the the default default web site - it is stock. – Brad Mathews Sep 10 '13 at 03:40
  • I found a solution on another thread. I added my specifics to broaden the scope of the solution. Link here: [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12899450/iis8-default-document-yields-404-not-found-error/) – Brad Mathews Sep 11 '13 at 19:30
