I'm trying to do something similar to this post asp.net setting up subdomain on localhost

I have the following added to my hosts file 

127.0.0.1       localhost
::1             localhost
127.0.0.1       test1.localhost
127.0.0.1       test2.localhost

I have unchecked everyting under LAN connections as mentioned in the post. HOwever, from within VS 2010, running the application and going to localhost:7217 works. But going to test1.localhost still falls over with an error 'IE could not find test1.localhost'

The application is based on MVC3, so not sure if I should be adding routing related changes to global.ascx. Is this required? What else should I be doing for this to work?
Thank you

  • Have you tried going to test1.localhost:7217? Commented Dec 7, 2012 at 9:36
  • Yes, that doesn't work either. Same error as before. Do I need to make the routing change in global.acsx before this will work? Commented Dec 7, 2012 at 9:37
  • why not just make up some domains and add those instead? 127.0.0.1 test1.mytestwebsite.co.uk Commented Dec 7, 2012 at 9:38

    Did you add the hostname to the site in IIS? Commented Dec 7, 2012 at 9:39
  • Are you using full IIS as development server or are you using the built in one\iis express? (levelnis beat me to it :)) Commented Dec 7, 2012 at 9:39
