Thanks for the help, Dave. What I'm trying to do is somehow be able to access different sites locally. Right now, I have to delete everything from wwwroot, then copy over the files of the site I want to work on. It can be a pain to work on the different sites. Also, Dreamweaver complains that the local site root is the same for different sites.
Is there any way to have the different sites accessible under different resources using mappings or virtual directories? Or any other solution to the problem? -----Original Message----- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2007 12:16 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: multiple sites with cf 8 and iis > I have modified my host file as follows: > ---------------------------------------------- > > 127.0.0.1 localhost > www_redhotkitties_com localhost/www_redhotkitties_com > > ---------------------------------------------- > > When I browse to http://www_redhotkitties_com/, I get > "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". > > If I go to http://localhost/www_redhotkitties_com/, I get an > error that it cannot find an included template, which should > not be the case. > > Do I have something configured wrong? Yes. First, you should read the examples at the top of your HOSTS file, if you have any. You might also look for HOSTS.SAM in the same directory for guidance on how to write entries. That said, you can only use HOSTS to do what a DNS server would do - map IP addresses to hostnames. If you want to have multiple names for a single IP address, however, you can't create aliases like you would in a DNS server; you simply map the address multiple times: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 www.redhotkitties.com 127.0.0.1 www.somethingelse.com ..... You can't create mappings to anything other than a hostname, either; there's nothing that would let you map an IP address to a URL as you're doing with "localhost/www_redhotkitties_com".
