Azure Virtual Machine / Windows Server 2012 and “This web page is not available” error

Question

I have just created an azure virtual server 2012 and made a simple html page. I installed IIS on it, and added an endpoint to my portal, called it web and set it to tsp, 80, 80, no load balanced.

But when I try to go to my domain, I get an error saying page not available. I can login to my virtual server and run the page inside. So it works. But it's blocking outside access.

There is also a firewall rule on the server allowing incoming traffic on port 80.

I am probably missing a step somewhere, but I could not find any instructions on how to do it. It is mostly guess work on my side.

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Most probably you have forgotten to allow port 80 for incoming connection on the local Firewall of your Windows Server.

UPDATE

Have you correctly mapped "your domain" to the couldapp.net domain of the VM instance? Or are you using the yourname.cloudapp.net directly?
