If you are using virtual hosting for the website, then it is an issue with the virtual host name matching. So, with apache: servername www.site.com serveralias site.com site.com. www.site.com. On Jan 23, 2008 3:52 AM, Robin Wood <dninja () gmail com> wrote:
Hi I've just been looking at a site and accidentally added an extra dot to the end of the domain name, rather than getting the site I got a MS small business server 2003 admin page. e.g. http://www.site.com gives the real site http://www.site.com. gives the admin page I assume that this is something to do with IIS not parsing the url correctly so giving the default website rather than the vhost with that address. Is this a known issue? I tried to google but couldn't think what to google for!
