I created a new mvc application, published it and deployed it on the sever under the default websites in IIS 7. Now I can access the website from my local system using the url http://server1/mymvcapp/login
Server1 is the server name where the application is deployed.
How can I mask the server name "server1" in the url to a more user friendly name, for example http://hellomvc.com/mymvcapp/login
You need setup DNS server or user hosted DNS (it's optional). You can read more here:

and here:

Usualy for host nameservers of domain name you need 2 external IP addresses.

I have a bastion host ec2 ,which don't have any public IP address ,but i have one application load balancer which is integrated with private EC2 ,but when I added CNAME(ALB DNS Record) record with host name WWW in my Godaddy DNS records So my website works only with https://www.example.com ,all other urls like -
https://example.com,
http://example.com do not work.
after that I had use the domain forwarding feature of godaddy but through this feature I can forward only one url like- example.com to www.example.com but I want my all urls should work fine.
Do we resolve this issue by help of A record?

I would suggest you start using AWS Route53 to manage the DNS records, after that, you can create A record to point to the ALB. You would have to create a hosted zone for example.com, then copy the name servers of it and use update your Godaddy configuration to use AWS name servers.

I am running a local web server with SSL enabled that my app needs to log into. I have a domain name whose A-record is set to 127.0.0.1, which allows for local development using loopback with an nginx server with different subdomain configurations for services on the app I have hosted locally. The problem is that, in the iOS simulator, the domain resolves to the device's localhost and not my machine. I can't use the IP address of my machine because I need the domain for nginx to redirect to the proper vhost (also SSL and OAUTH would get mad).
Is there any way to use a custom DNS server for lookup in the simulator? Either that, or can I edit the hosts file to set the domain to my device's LAN IP instead of localhost? Any other ideas?
I have hosted my .Net project in IIS server and now I have the IP address.I want to change it to host name and I have already tried following steps
1) Add the Host Name in site bindings according to my existing IP address in IIS server
2) Do changes in host file(C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc) according to the added host name
But I am getting following error when I navigate host name in browser
Bad Request - Invalid Hostname HTTP Error 400. The request hostname is
invalid.
What is the solution for this problem ??
Where did you host the IIS server? On-premise domain environment or Cloud VM with public firewall IP address?
If you are hosting the web server in domain environment, then you need to create a CNAME for your web server in DNS and set binding host header for your website in IIS.
If you are just hosting the web server in cloud VM, then you should purchase a public domain from domain provider like Godaddy and map the domain name to your Virtual machine'S public firewall address. After that, you should add host name to your IIS site. Finally, you should be able to access the website. Just remember to allow port number in firewall inbound rule.
My Virtual Machine has hostname defined, for instance, mycrucible.
This VM is deployed in the cloud. But this domain name is not registered. Thus, I can access my Crucible installation over IP address only.
When I get notifications from Crucible, all links inside the email have hostname (mycrucible) instead of IP.
Actually, when I installed Crucible, it somehow read this hostname (probably stored somewhere).
My site URL in server settings is changed to IP.
How can I fix that issue? I want to get working emails where links contain IP.
The problem I had is that by default Crucible used site URL as IP. And it was sending emails with machine hostname anyway (Crucible bug!?). I have changed site URL in global server settings manually to my IP and it started to work. Now I get correct links in Crucible emails.
Using WEBrick you could navigate to an app you were serving from another device/virtual machine by navigating to your.ip.address.here:port
Is it possible to do something similar with pow.cx?
The latest version of Pow (0.4.0) now includes xip.io support. You can read about the release here.
Here's a quick explanation of how this helps Pow serve your Rails apps across your entire local network, from their post:
Say your development computer’s LAN IP address is 10.0.0.1. With the
new version of Pow, you can now access your app at
http://myapp.10.0.0.1.xip.io/. And xip.io supports wildcard DNS, so
any and all subdomains of 10.0.0.1.xip.io resolve too.
Here's a description of xip.io, from their site:
xip.io runs a custom DNS server on the public Internet. When your
computer looks up a xip.io domain, the xip.io DNS server extracts the
IP address from the domain and sends it back in the response.
There are basically two options:
Don't use pow: run your applications on localhost as usual and access them as usual
Edit the hosts file (or local DNS) to point your server machine ip
Example accessing from a virtual windows machine:
Suppose you are running two rails applications in pow: store.dev and auth.dev, and you want to access them from a windows xp virtual machine to test them with IE, you only need to edit your hosts file to add the lines:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
# Allow to access applications in pow.
# The ip address points to the host machine localhost, that usually is the default gateway
10.0.2.2 store.dev
10.0.2.2 auth.dev
And then open the IE browser to access your applications in http://store.dev and http://auth.dev respectivelly.
Specifically, no, because Pow uses the Host header of the request to determine which app you need to access. To get that working remotely, you would have to have the remote machine map the required domain name to your IP address - either with a local DNS server or by editing the HOSTS file. Both of which are possible but annoying.
The simplest thing to do in that case is to start up a standalone Rails server as you mentioned (using ./script/server or rails s depending on the version), and then you can address http://[ip address]:3000 as before.
In other words, Pow works because it intercepts your local domain resolution, something that isn't affected by (or available to) remote machines.
