How to configure IIS to use a specific IP in Multi IP configuration server . 

There can be times when you want to run apache and IIS simultaneously on your single Server and also on port 80 , in that case the only option is to get an extra ip allotted to your machine and assign each one of them to each server .

How to run php website on IIS 7 with ASP.NET website simultaneously

The process to do this is ( i suppose that IIS 7 is currently working and serving a ASP.NET website ) install php from microsoft web platfom installer ( you can get that here - http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx ) it will automatically install the dependencies .

Now php is installed and we will have to install CGI from control panel -> Program and Features - > Turn windows features ON or OFF

and check CGI features as shown in picture

Now simply add a new website in IIS with default app pool and your site is up and running with php installed .

This is a nice Blog post for the solution to this problem :- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5717310/accessing-sql-server-on-windows-server-2008-r2-from-remote-client

The solution which worked for me is :- 

Here is a summary of what worked for me to get remote connections working. I am not an expert in this so some of my steps may not be necessary. I took some of the steps from other answers to this question.

• Open SQL Server Configuration Manager

• Select SQL Server Network Configuration

• Chose your instance of a SQL Server

• Make sure that TCP/IP protocol is enabled

• Right click TCP/IP protocol

• Select properties

• Click IP addresses tab

• Scroll down to IP4. The IP address of the server should be here. Set active to yes and enabled to yes. Set TCP port to 1433 (don't know if this is necessary. Can some expert comment)

• Scroll down to IPAll. Set TCP port to 1433

• Make an inbound firewall rule for port 1433

• open sql server management studio, right click server instance, properties->connections-> allow remote connections. Security-> SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode

• restart sql server service

• restart sql server browser

Recently i found out that my site was captured under a different domain name . When i was searching for some link in google there was a link which was pointing to my website's page but the domain name was entirely different from mine . I checked in my server that IIS was bound to all HTTP request coming through port 80 to my site hence someone just used my ip address under their domain name and started publishing my site under it . 

Solution to this problem is simple, bind your website in IIS to specific domain and never leave domain binding empty else you could also face the same problem .

I just got to know something new ( i know its not a very recent thing its just i was unaware of it till date ) that we can use HTML 5 inbuilt validation . You just have to include 'required' word in <input> tag and there will be an automatic validator.

<input name="something" type="text" required />
