Iis – How to control which IP address IIS7 uses

iisiis-7windows-server-2008

In Win2k3, I used httpcfg to tell IIS to listen to specific IP addresses on the server. I want to run Apache with VisualSVN Server on port 80 on another IP address but IIS7 binds to all IP addresses by default.

What utility for IIS7 controls the IIS7 bindings?

Best Answer

I found the answer. There is a utility called netsh.

netsh http add iplisten ipaddress=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

By default there are no IP addresses on the list, so IIS7 will bind to all IP addresses. If you add one IP to the list, it will listen to just that IP or any IP added to the list. It is necessary to restart IIS7 for the change to take effect.

Edit:

To list the IP addresses, type the following command after the IP address is added:

netsh http show iplisten

The netsh utility returns the following information:

IP addresses present in the IP listen list: xxx.xxx.x.x

Iis – the Apache equivalent of IIS site bindings

This isn't a restriction of Apache at all; it doesn't care where your DNS is hosted. It sounds from Farseeker's answer like it's a restriction of your hosting provider and/or cPanel specifically (I used to use Dreamhost for example, and they didn't care if they held my DNS, but they have their own management interface)

A <VirtualHost> block inside of the apache configuration declares all the directives inside to apply to a virtual host, and the ServerName directive inside of that makes requests bearing that Host header use the block.

Refer to http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html for details.
