Local debugging of subdomains with VS 2015

Question

I have a multi-tenant website that has to take care of any incoming request and determine the appropriate routing by the URL subdomain.

I set up the subdomain routing

Answer 1

I'm guessing you're using IIS express locally?

If so, in your solution directory, there is a .vs folder. You need to add the binding in the \config\applicationhost.config file inside that folder. Then make sure that you've allowed IIS express to listen to that subdomain.

You can refer to Scott's article on how to configure IIS Express. Specifically look for this paragraph "1. GETTING IIS EXPRESS TO SERVE EXTERNALLY OVER PORT 80"

To be more specific, you need to run these commands:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://{your-domain}:{custom-port}/ user=everyone

netsh firewall add portopening TCP {custom-port} IISExpressWeb enable ALL
