I’ve got a webserver installed windows 2008 R2, IIS 7.5,

1 dedicated IP Address

from here I’m hosting several wesites….
like http://www.abc.com
http://www.efg.com
http://www.hkl.com

via bindings I’m routing the websites and it works fine. I can access these websites from other PC.

so until here it works fine….

But I like to access these websites from the webserver it self. how can I do that?

e.g. I tried. 214.xxx.xxx.xxx\abc.com and I also tried localhost\abc.om

But I get the error BELOW….

Question:

so my question is how can access these domains in in the WEBSERVER it self… All of them are created as website and the are running independently Application pool…. (not in defaut website)

All those are ASP.NET web application. V2.0 and V4.0

Server Error in ‘/’ Application.

    Try adding an Application, instead of a Virtual Directoy. It sounds like your Virtual Directory is an application.

    I think the error is happening because the web.config at the virtual directory folder is the root web.config for an application. This config is conflicting with the web.config at the Default Web Site level.
