[dba-Tech] IIS different port

Yes.
I would type in a fully qualified URL though, e.g.
http://192.168.1.100:54637/


This way your browser will not get confused as to what protocol to use.

Subject: [dba-Tech] IIS different port

I am trying to get IIS set up again on my computer.  I had it running once
using an odd TCP Port (54637) instead of the normal 80.  I have IIS running,
and if I just use 80 I get the web site served up, the same data as my real
web site - just so I know it's working.  However if I go in to the
properties for the site and enter 54637 as the tcp port, I can't see the
site, even locally.

Am I correct that if you use anything other than 80 you have to put in the
workstation name or local IP address colon tcp port?  Ie 192.168.1.100:54637
?
