Accessing Internet Site Shows Default Proxy Server Page (184032)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0
- Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q184032 We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site: SYMPTOMS
When you access an Internet Web site via a browser configured to use Web
Proxy, the default page of Proxy Server version 2.0 is displayed while the
requested URL appears in the address line and in the title bar of the
browser. This is evident in Proxy Server computers with multiple netcards.
CAUSE
There are multiple Web sites (default and any additional) created in the
Microsoft Management Console (MMC) of Internet Information Server version
4.0, and the additional Web sites are configured to use the internal NIC
IP address(es). You may also get the default Proxy Server page if you have
multiple Web sites and the default Web site is set to use the external IP
address.
WORKAROUND
Change the IP address(es) of the additional Web site(s) to match an
external address, and set the default Web site to All Unassigned.
-OR-
Configure the additional Web site(s) to use All Unassigned, and then set
the default Web site to an internal IP address.
-OR-
Configure a new Web site to host the content in the default Web site and
assign it an external address.
NOTE: Whenever you modify the IP address of a Web site, it is recommended
that you stop and restart the Web site to ensure that the changes have
been made.
To View the Web Site Properties, perform the following steps:
- In the Microsoft Management Console, select the Servername icon and
click the Action button.
- Select Properties.
- Modify the IP Address field to the desired setting.
To Create a New Web Site:
- In the Microsoft Management Console, select the Servername icon and
click the Action button.
- Select New/Web Site.
- Follow the instructions in the New Web Site Wizard.
MORE INFORMATION
As a general practice, it is recommended that you do not use the default
Web site as your main Web page location. Instead, create a new site in the
Microsoft Management Console, host your information there, and assign it
the desired IP address setting.
