I was hosting a website an older server running NT and IIS. The site was working good on that server but it was running out of space and resources so I transfered the folder containing the website to a newer server, running IIS 5 on Win 2000. The IIS 5 server is currently hosting another site perfectly. When I transfered the site from the NT server, I gave it a new ip and the site appears to be running on the server but when I try to access it using the domain or the ip, nothing comes up.

The site that I transfered uses an alias domain of the domain that is assigned to the other site currently hosted on the IIS 5 server, (that site is working great). It's just the site that was transfered from the other server that is not coming up.

The alias domain is pointing to the ip assigned to the site, the default file is enabled (index.html), and the site is set to run.

Can anyone please give me any pointers on why the site is not working? Maybe I'm missing something that I can't remember.

Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

Here's a better explanation of the problem that I have with the website that I transfered from an IIS web server on a Win NT machine to another server running IIS 5 on Win 2000 Pro.

The website was running perfectly on the old NT server. The new Win 2000 server currently has a different site running on it perfectly.

I transfered the website's directory from the NT server into the Win 2000 server, assigned a new ip to the new site, enabled the default file (index.html), and the site says that it is running.

The problem is that when I try to access the site with the ip address or the domain assigned to it nothing comes up. No errors on the server, but I get a page cannot be displyed in the browser.

Like I mentioned above, "the Win 2000 server where I transfered the site to has being hosting a different site in another directory perfectly for a while.

I would appreciate any tips on anything that could be causing the site not to be accessible (not even from within the network where the web server is, and also inaccessible from the outside).

I sure that I'm overlooking something. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
