How to change your web site from https://localhost to https://mydomain.com

There are three steps you need to take to make it work.

 1. Modify your hosts file under \Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and add the following entry:

127.0.0.1    mydomain.com

2. Turn off your proxy dection from the IE,

 Go to Tools->Internet Options->Connection->LAN Settings, uncheck everything

3. Modify your binding in the IIS manager to use mydomain.com instead of localhost as host header.

BTW, you need to remove the quote here. 

 

So instead of

 

cscript //nologo %systemdrive%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/1/SecureBindings “:443:www.fancydomain.com”

 

you shoud do

 

 

cscript //nologo %systemdrive%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/1/SecureBindings :443:www.fancydomain.com

 

 

Hope this helps.
