I recently rent a virtual server over some country, and activate it's ISS service and Active Directory....
What now bother me, though i had no idea what i'm doing (though most of it went right) is that, i had a project (MVC 5, Dot Net 4.5),... so i add a Website to Sites node(name it ChatSystem), and then add Application to it, named it "chat"
when i locally access the page, even using server IP, i can access the page, but when i do it remotely it gave me timeout error, do some research, i did many thing... Define new service user ( named it "IISService"), and tell application pool to use that user, gave explicit windows access to "ChatSystem" User and "IISService" User for access the folders of "ChatSystem" and "Chat" Application, increase Session timeout to 3600, and several more thing i dont remember, now i'm wonder what else i can do, that i can access it from else where...
And let say it's my first time using IIS since windows XP, and it's also first time i use Active Directory (need it for something, without having any idea what it do, at last i understand what it do, but i still have many trouble since biult-in users became un-usable)
Thank you, Hassan F.
PS: Ain't IIS and Firewall fault this forum issues? :| i don't see super user fit my question any better...
