creaing a site on IIS

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hello, 

I am trying to create an internal web site for my company.  Our network
administrator put on Microsoft SharePoint which is ok. As an alternative, I
want to experiment creating a site from scratch and have use my own design instead
of SharePoint.

I have access to IIS 6 and can see the SharePoint's IP address.  Using
that as an example, I create another site and when it is ready for testing, I
stop SharePoint's web site and run my new site (to avoid conflicting of
the two sites having the same IP address.

However, when I go and view my site using the IP address, I get a white page
with "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)" and when I type in the host
header value I assigned, I go out onto the www.

I browse the web for hosting multiple web sites on IIS, but having no joy after
following the instructions on pages I found.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance,
