Page unavailable on another device
You're experiencing an issue where your web page functions correctly on both the server and client sides, but fails when you switch the port from 80 to another value. This often happens due to changes in how the server handles requests or routing rules being applied. Check your IIS configuration, especially the application pool settings and any port-specific rules.
Switching the port from 80 means you must find the page on that specific port. For example, if you moved to port 8080, you'd access it at http://www.page.com:8080. By default, HTTP uses port 80, just like HTTPS uses port 443. You might also need to redirect your public-facing port to the server's internal port (like 80 to 8080). Some internet service providers block non-standard ports, so check with them. You can sometimes adjust settings through your ISP, other times you may need to contact them directly.
I can help you with that. Just let me know what you need to do!
Tell me about your configuration—do you use a router or gateway? Why are you modifying the port?
Uncertain about what a gateway box is—I need to switch the port since it was assigned as part of a school assignment. Also, I'm working in a virtual machine.
Yes, you can still achieve that in a virtual machine by adjusting settings or using specific tools provided by the VM platform.
