Ok here is what is happening.
1. I installed NT Server 4.0 as a member server.
2. Installed IIS 2.0.
3. Installed Service Pack 3 which upgraded IIS 2.0 to IIS 3.0
4. The machine name is mail and the domain is isk.edu.pk (the domain is local
only).
5. In the local DNS there is an entry for mail.isk.edu.pk (192.168.0.5)
6. In the local DNS there is another entry for www.isk.edu.pk (also 192.168.0.5)
7. Now the IIS web server can be accessed from a browser on the network from the
url http://ww.isk.edu.pk
8. The default port for the web server is port 80 and is left as 80.
9. Now IMail 6.0 is installed. The host name becomes mail.isk.edu.pk
10. The Host alias is declared as isk.edu.pk so that email addresses are of the
format [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
11. The web based mail is using the default port of 8383.
12. To access the web based mail, the url is http://mail.isk.edu.pk:8383 and it
works
NOW THE PROBLEM
When I type http://www.isk.edu.pk to access the web server, I get a message "Your
browser has sent a malformed request" but when I type http://mail.isk.edu.pk:8383,
the mail work just fine. So installing the mail server some how "breaks" IIS.
What am I doing wrong?
