Having trouble on IIS site
Hi there,
This is probably (almost certainly) a really dumb question, but I'm having a problem getting my target website exposed. I successfully installed pagekite and have created a service mysite.pagekite.me . On my desktop I get the message
Flying localhost:80 as http://mysite.pagekite.me
However when I access mysite.pagekite.me over the internet I get the IIS default website welcome page. Which makes sense given at no point did I actually specify which of the sites hosted on my localhost did I want pagekite service to tunnel to.
So what am I missing? Did I skip a step when configuring pagekite or is there something I need to do in IIS direct localhost to my target website homepage.
thx, chuck

I am not very familiar with IIS, so please excuse me if I get this wrong. However, I strongly suspect this is a similar situation to what you would get if you configured IIS on a public IP and then opened that IP address in your browser. You probably have to configure IIS so it knows which content to serve for the `mysite.pagekite.me` name. On Apache this would be called configuring the ServerName or VirtualHost, I expect IIS has something roughly equivalent.
PageKite does not translate the HTTP requests in any way, so IIS sees exactly what your browser requested - so you always need to configure IIS so it knows what to do with the request, just like if it were on the public Internet.
Hope this helps,

I also faced same issue. I tried again with chrome and also you forgot to add your application so try like this : http://mysite.pagekite.me/myApp and it worked....
