My web server is DMZ, ISA Server is domain member and external NIC of ISA is multihome with 3 IP's (one for exhange, Web and ISA)

Published website is almost working but cannot access is the way it should be accessed.

website: www.mywebsite.com
I cannot access it using url www.mywebsite.com, I can only access it using www.mywebsite.com/website . I did configure pathe to /website/* and it will still not work. I have many virtual directories under default website in IIS. What am I missing to make it work correct URL.

Try using redirection in IIS under "Home Directory", by entering the following path...

A redirection to URL
Local Path-->/website

Thanks for the quick reply.

This solution will not work for me as I have 10 different virtual directories under default website.
Default Webiste
website1
website2
-
website10

what will I do for all other sites? I want to configure something for each site and not at default website level.

Perhaps you have this setup correctly...have you double checked your path of your published website to make sure its set to /*

If you are using IIS instead of using different virtual directory under just one site for different sites, you can create different sites, you can use different IP addresses for the different sites or you can use 'host headers', different DNS names for the different sites, that will make the server publishing easier

I guess I cannot use multiple IP's.
what I have to do for host header? That's the recommended way to do it?

Thanks

Every site must be 'binded' to the network in a exclusive way, you have three different methods to distinguish the different sites, IP addresses (Network level), port (Transport level), or host header (Application level). If you change only the host header you send the request for different sites to the same IP and port is then IIS that look at the URL in the GET request from the browser and select the correct site. You can create 3 sites (use the button 'Advanced' near the IP Address (General tab) to assign the host header)
1) IP (all unassigned) ; Port (80) ; Host Header "firstwww.mycompany.com"
2) IP (all unassigned) ; Port (80) ; Host Header "secondwww.mycompany.com"
3) IP (all unassigned) ; Port (80) ; Host Header "thirdwww.mycompany.com"
with 3 different home directory and contents
than on your public DNS you have to create this names and point them to the public IP address you got on the external NIC on ISA
Last but not least you have to create a publishing rule (slightly more complex) or three different ones (more simple) be sure to mark the checkbox "forward the original host header...." to mantain the URL originated by the browser

Use the publishing wizard for a web site, point to the internal machine that hosts the three sites, (mark the checkbox to mantain the original host header as previously said) and under the 'public name' tab add all the three public DNS FQDNs (firstwww.mycompany.com, secondwww.mycompany.com and thirdwww.mycompany.com)

You got an access denied... how have you configured the listener?
do you need authentication in your site?
Have you got a prompt for username and password before the error message?

I did not get prompt for authentication.
In my website user is required to authenticate to sql database which has user/pswd table.
I called microsoft and this is what they told me to do.
configure allow rule and copy that rule , paste it and instead of allow change it to deny and redirect to http://first.website.com/first., this worked but I told them , I will end up creating 2 rules for each virtual website. For me this was not a solution.
