Mycophiles Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Sounds like you don't have port 80 open on the server firewall. It's closed by default. Boy when I read that I smacked my head... but it looks to be open. I didn't open it myself though. Edited July 2, 2014 by Mycophiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwills Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 One easy way to find out, turn off the server firewall to testing ONLY. Good catch, as there is a rule in place for the internal company site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrossco Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Looks like DNS is set and firewalls are set. Next should be to make sure you have your site bindings in IIS configured properly. Looking at the screenshot earlier in your post, it looks like you have host name set on your site binding. That means IIS will only map to that virtual directory if the host header matches one of the host names.

jmwills Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Again, if you shut down the firewall and can connect, you know its the Firewall, if not, it's more than likely still in IIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmwills Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 It also seems logical, at least to me, that you would need an outbound rule to match the one highlighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Worm Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I agree to just turn off the firewall to test this. If you cannot see the site even on your local lan, than this is going to be the reason why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cannot see the site even on your local lan, than this is going to be the reason why. Success... KINDA ... like 98% ok, I did this. Now when I go to my domain name I am going to the Windows server 2012 R2 Essentials website where it says "remote web access is turned off" And, if I go to www.domainname/wordpress it pulls up the wordpress site. edit: Ok, before I want to Advanced settings and everything looked ok. But I went back to "allow an app or feature through windows firewall" and http web services was not checked. Checked that and bam! Yay. Ok, so the new problem is getting www.domainname.com/wordpress to show up when someone types www.domainname.com. --> I bet it's binding related. Going to go fool with that (did read the link before). and see what happens. Also now "localhost" does not work which is kind-of important as it's all I know how to use to configure the wordpress and joomla sites IE: localhost/managment .. localhost/joomla_30 etc. Edited July 2, 2014 by Mycophiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drashna Jaelre Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Well, to redirect automatically, use the following HTML file: <html> <head> <meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" Content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <script language="javascript"> document.location = 'wordpress'; </script> <title ID="titletext">Navigate to public landing page...</title> </head> <body> <noscript> <p id="JSWarningTitle"><b>JavaScript is Required.</b><br/></p> <p id="JSWarningText"> JavaScript is required to use the Windows Home Server Remote Access Web site.<br /> Please enable JavaScript in your Web browser and refresh this page to proceed. </p> </noscript> </body> </html> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrossco Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Wait, this was on your Essentials server? If that's the case, then IIS would have already been installed, the firewall opened (should have been when the IIS role is enabled) and the port forwarding on your router configured. All of this would have been required to enable Remote Access. How did you install Joomla and Wordpress? Was this added to the existing IIS instance, or did a 2nd/3rd web server get installed? You can't have more than one service listening on a port... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
