IIS 8 Site opening wrong website - iis-8

We have deployed 3 Siebel (Oralce CRM package application) websites on Win 2012, IIS 8.
Each of these 3 websites have separate aliases and they use separate host header.
Each of the 3 websites, have their own Application pools also.
On the DNS, crmdev, crmtest and crmuat all point to 10.x.x.x. (same IP)
Host header Alias IP
crmdev - 10.x.x.x
crmtest - 10.x.x.x
crmuat - 10.x.x.x
All the websites, have epublicsector_oui_enu application in them.
Issue:
We have observed, that SOMETIMES when we try to open http://crmuat/epublicsector_oui_enu , the Test application opens up (instead of UAT).
But after we do a Test and UAT application pool restart and Test and UAT Website restart, it works fine for some time.
But all of a sudden after few hours/days, the issue re-occurs.
There is no specific time or duration after which this happens.
Siebel has specific handler mappings, which are pointing correctly on the physical server path.
Can you please guide as to what is it that is causing this?
Regards
Jim

IIS 10 ARR LoadBalancer Working more like Redundent Web Servers

We have configured a new webfarm using IIS10 with 3 hosts operating with the web traffic with a loadbalancing IIS ARR3.0 server sitting infront to balance incoming requests between all the nodes. During initial testing (Basic HTML pages) the round robin setup (33.33%) distribution between each node was working well but we had to enable server / client affinity so that our applications kept a consistent connection between our client session and the application. Since then, we are finding that all traffic going to these applications originating from different machines on different networks are all being forwarded to the same application server. If you take the server offline the application seamlessly starts running on the next server in the list (Client obviously must sign in again). Whilst one server is fine at this time to run the two applications we have running when we ramp up our migration and have all our 140 applications running, I don’t think one server will be too happy with the load.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
LoadBalancers/Arr Servers: LB-01 (LB-02 DUPLICATED Server for redundancy). Default ARR URL ReWrite with Route to Server Farm Action. Image of LB/ARR URL ReWrite Rule Server Affinity Enabled Client Affinity enabled use hostname selected no Advanced Settings, no routing rules. ARR Default Proxy Settings Image of Proxy Settings
Web/Application Servers WEB-01, WEB-02, WEB-03 FileSystem Shared using DFS All running on Shared Config's
The Applications would be as follows
https://www.domainname.com/application-name1
https://www.domainname.com/application-name2
...
Were the application launch page changes but the domain name stays the same

If there is a setting you wish to verify please ask for them. I know people arent physchic but huge paragraphs of information never really help.
My hunch is it is something to do with the URL rewrite I have tried the settings in the below post to no avail.

Host name not working on IIS 8.5 when configuration are the same

Sorry in advance, this is my first post and I'm a novice with web hosting.
I have 2 websites hosted on the same IIS version 8.5 using a different application pool.
The problem is that I can't get Website A to connect outside the network whereas website B can connect just fine.
They have the same configuration except for the bindings.
I tried switching the port in the bindings from A to B and the problem still arises.
Example: https All Unassigned 25777 analytics.com (A) https all unassigned 25779 portal.com (B)
Since I was able to switch the port and portal still works, I'm assuming that the site configuration is fine and the port is fine.
I think the host name's problem.
How can I fix this?
The public IP was an issue.
The public IP provided by our ISP wasn't properly configured. Changing to a new one provided it by them allowed us to access the website from outside the network.

What is the difference between Local Server and a Web Server?

Hi i am new to Web Services. Here is my doubt
1) If i am hosting my website then their should be a web server which should keep my website into that this also we are calling server..
2) If i want to run PHP Program in my local system i should use Local Server lie XAMPP this also we are calling server.
My doubt is for example in local system i have downloaded Xampp and i am running my server side program.. but after uploading into server how its working
also AWS, Proxy is which server???
All the servers are confusing a lot
Both web servers and local servers are just computers with software installed on them.
Not much more.
That said a web server is a computer that is connected to the internet and has some kind of a web server software installed on it.
The most common one is an HTTP server software that can serve web pages.
For example, Apache, Nginx are both HTTP servers that can serve both static and dynamic web pages to browser across the world.
Another web server can be FTP, IRC, NTP, SMTP/IMAP/POP3 (mail servers) are all web servers that just have different software installed on them and so they serve other purposes.
A local server is again a computer that serves a client within the local network or LAN.
That means that in most cases it will not be connected to the internet or if it does it will be protected with a password so not everybody can access its services.
It can act as a file server or LDAP server that are roles of a typical local server but it can also be a local web server that holds web-based application only for the local organization.
For example, a company will have a local web server with Salesforce installed on it to serve it's CRM needs.
To make a long story short both servers are just computers connected to a network. Local servers are connected to the LAN and Web Servers are connected to the WAN. Other than that it really depends on the software you install on them and the use you want to make of them.
If you need more clarification, leave a comment and I'll try to help.

Url with IP address is accessible, url using alias instead of IP is not accessible

The basic issue is in IE on my machine, a particular web site in our intranet doesn't work when using the server name alias. It does, however work when using the IP address of the server.
This doesn’t work
http://MyWeb/TheSite
It's a 401 error in the IIS Logs on the server
and IE shows "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. Diagnose Connection Problems".
But this does work:
http://100.100.100.100/TheSite
(100.100.100.100 being a made up IP)
On other machines on our intranet, this does work for me:
http://MyWeb/TheSite
I think we've narrowed it down the Integrated Auth on IIS. When I change the AppPool for MyWebb/TheSite to Anonymous on the server, TheSite works on my machine as well as other machines. When I change back to Integrated Auth it works for me on other machines machines but not my machine. Any ideas? Something with my desktop profile?
And another bit of data, TheSite used to work on my machine with Integrated Auth. It just stopped a couple weeks ago.
Also, we've looked at all the relevent DNS properties, etc, and that all looks good

IIS6 Web SIte Cannot be Accessed Remotely

I have a Windows 2003 server, with IIS6 + .Net 4 installed.
I created a site running on port 8002. It could be accessed locally but not remotely. I have done following tests
I used server's local broswer to access http://192.168.1.107:8002/WebForm2.aspx and I can get page successfully.
I opened a broswer on remote machine to access http://192.168.1.107:8002/WebForm2.aspx, browser waited for long time and eventually displayed timeout, web page not available message.
I tried telnet 192.168.1.107 8002 from client machine, and the connection could be established. I believe I have Windows 2003 server firewall turned off, otherwise the port should be blocked.
I ran ping 192.168.1.107 from client machine and got response.
While remote browser is waiting for response, I shut down the site (not IIS) and brwoser got not available right away. It looks like broswer connected to the site, but just something is hanging there.
What could cause such problem?
what are your dns settings? is the ip bound to this domain / host header?
recheck your settings in iis and check your firewall.
It sounds like you were able to reach the server, but I can only guess that based on what you're saying you tried already.
i would also make sure that nothing else is using that ip.
OK, strange thing. I created the site in VS2012 and forgot to change target framework back to 4.0, so it was compiled as 4.5. But server has no 4.5 installed.
Once I changed the target framework everything works.
I just don't understand one thing, hwy it worked locally in 4.5.
