I have a website that we used to access via Umbraco. It was decommissioned on 11/22 to a new site with same name. There is some content we need to retrieve. I was thinking maybe we could access it via IP but that doesn't work. Anyone know how to accomplish this so we can log on to the old site via umbraco without interfering with the new site.
If you log into the server and find the site in IIS, you could set up new bindings on that site, so it responds to decommissioned.mysite.com. Then add a host file entry to your local machine, so decommissioned.mysite.com sends you to your decommissioned site.
When your computer performs a DNS lookup, the host file is the first place it will look. This means you can use the host file to bypass the DNS settings configured for the public. It comes in handy when you have a dev version of a site that isn't ready for the world, yet. On windows you can find the host file at C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts. You will probably need to run your text editor as an administrator to edit the file. This is what host file entries look like:
123.123.123.123 mydomain.com www.mydomain.com
321.321.321.321 www.myotherdomain.com blog.myotherdomain.com

I have a docker instance of mautic and it works like a charm.
The only issue is that
the urls generated inside emails (eg. Unsubscribe URL)
the preview links of the forms/emails
the landing page urls
are all pointing to the wrong domain name (network IP address of the guest machine)
I'd like to change that to the url of my mautic installation.
I've checked out the settings with no luck and also looked at all the files inside app/config directory.
Can't be sure about doing inside docker, but in the past we have been using reverse proxy and pointing it to the docker instance, also this helped us using more than one instance along with setting up ssl certificate as well. here's one setup example:

hope this helps.
I am working with a designer and I'd like them to have access to the interactions I've implemented on the site we're working on. However this time, I have 2 issues. My localhost is configured to a subdomain:
http://store.teststore:3000/ and we're on different networks. Is there anyway to work around this?
ngrok should work for you. Download and install it following these instructions here: https://ngrok.com/download. Documentation on how it is used can be found here https://ngrok.com/docs. Once installed running the below command should work for you (depending on the hosting environment):
ngrok http -host-header=rewrite store.teststore:3000
You will need to give the URL generated by ngrok and displayed in the cmd prompt to the designer.
Update: Handling absolute redirects
Based on your comment it sounds like, after login, your site does an absolute redirect (the full URL is specified). If it is possible I would change your code to do a relative redirect where the domain is omitted. You could also make your root domain configurable in the absolute redirect and configure it to be the ngrok domain provided for now. Lastly, you could attempt to configure your DNS with a CNAME record following ngroks Tunnels to custom domains documentation. This last option, however, requires a paid for ngrok subscription.
Install ngrok if you haven't yet and CD into your project directory and invoke ngrok. Note Your application must be running locally on the same port number ngrok will be running.
Here is a bit of background on the setup:
I have a server called "File-Serv".
I have an NS entry that redirects clients.mydomain.com to the ip address of the modem which in turns forwards the request to the computer (this is all working perfectly so far)
I have apache running on port 80 and one IIS site running on port 8080
I installed TFS and changed the binding of the TFS site to use port 8081 so that it doesn't clash with the rest.
I installed team explorer on the server and was able to connect to TFS and add a project, etc.
The problem is now that i want to access TFS from all other computers on the network and more importantly still access TFS if i'm not connected to the local network but i can't
What i have tried is to change the notification url to clients.mydomain.com and change the binding on IIS to match. when i go to clients.mydomain.com:8081/tfs/web it asks me for a username and password
I do not have active directory installed and i have created users for all the users needed on the server but when whatever combination i put for username/password, i can never ever log in.
I've tried the following usernames with no success:
Administrator
File-Serv\Administrator
clients.mydomain.com\Administrator
I'm really not sure what i'm missing here.. I have read forums upon forums without any resolution. Help!
P.S. This is my first question on stackoverflow after using the site religiously for 2 years now!
I'm trying to map a virtual directory in my ASP.NET MVC 3 website. The virtual directory contains image files only, and the physical directory is located on another server. When I try to access an image from this directory via a web browser, I get an HTTP 500 error:
Parser Error Message: An error occurred loading a configuration file: Failed to start monitoring changes to '<virtual directory path>' because access is denied.
[EDIT]: After restarting IIS, I see that it's added "access is denied" to the end of the error message. However, the directory has the "Everyone" permission on it with read-access and it's still not working. I've seen posts that detail this same error, but the permission-setting solution isn't working for me.
Why is it looking for a configuration file? I've updated my Global.asax to ignore the route in question, and from within IIS 6, I can browse the files located in the virtual directory without issue. I've verified that the virtual directory is NOT set up as an application. Also, the permissions on the directory have read access for Everyone set. What am I doing wrong?
[EDIT #2]: The virtual directory being pointed to is a network shared folder... Does that make any difference?
[EDIT #3]: The IIS 6 hierarchy for what I'm trying to do is this: Default Website -> OurSite (MVC website which is ITSELF a virtual directory) -> Images (virtual directory that I'm struggling with). There definitely is a problem with the fact that this is a nested virtual directory; if I create the directory as a direct child of Default Website instead of Default Website -> OurSite, it works fine.
Thanks,
Andy
Make sure the identity running the App Pool also has execute and list permissions on that virtual folder as it's trying to monitor it for changes for caching.

[EDIT] This link indicates it may be the second case where it's not having permissions to a subfolder in the shared directory.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317955
Does the ASPNET account have access all the way down that tree?
Reading Turnkey's answer and your comments, I just wanted to point out that if your AppPool is using NETWORK SERVICE identity then your remote server needs to add the web server's machine/computer account to the shared folder and NTFS permissions NOT the NETWORK SERVICE account.
If you add NETWORK SERVICE to the shared folder and NTFS permissions, you are just adding the local machine's NETWORK SERVICE account not the web server's NETWORK SERVICE account. I hope I am making sense.
Whenever you use a computer's NETWORK SERVICE account to connect remotely you are in effect using the computer's machine account so that's what you need to add.
Say your web server is called PRODSERVER, you need to add the machine/computer account PRODSERVER$ to the remote shared folder's permissions.
Hope that helps.
I'm building a MOSS 2007 site on Windows 2008 R2, 64 bit.
Not wanting to use my machine name or IP in the URL, I made an entry in my hosts file:
127.0.0.1 mydev.com
I can surf to the URL, http://mydev.com, but when I try to log in (Windows Authentication), I am denied.
I am able to successfully log in if I take out the hosts file entry, and surf to http://
Do I need to edit something else for the authentication to work when I want to use a custom URL like mydev.com that is only mapped in the hosts file?
I needed to do this:

Do you have Kerberos authentication enabled? Then it is not so easy, since you try to access mydev.com, but your server cannot provide such authentication ticket. I'm not very common with Kerberos internals, but I have seen my servers act like this.
