Note
If firewall is turned on, make sure you have configured the firewall on the server to allow the port number (81 and 82 or any port number you choose) to go through. The section "Configuring Windows Defender Firewall" has detailed instructions.
Open a Web browser and run the following URLs to verify the new websites created just now.
http://172.16.100.35:81/
http://172.16.100.35:82/
You should be able to see the page displaying server error: 403 - Forbidden. This is normal behavior.
Now the two IIS websites are ready to host files:
-
clientapp using port 81 -- After you copy the client app to the physical path of this site later, you should be able to access the client app via http://172.16.100.35:81/app_name.
-
webapis using port 82 -- After you copy the Web APIs to the physical path of this site later, you should be able to access the Web APIs via http://172.16.100.35:82/.
