Unable to publish web site on Localhost in TMG 2010
Hello, I am trying to publish a simple static web site in W2K8 R2/IIS 7/TMG 2010. TMG is set up as an Edge Server and the box has internal (192.168.254.xxx) and external (Comcast modem static IP) nics There is a simple TMG Web Server publishing rule with the external name www.estarmail.com and the gateway server internal IP. Very simple setup and the web site does display when I click the “Browse *:443 (https)” link in IIS Admin. The “Browse www.estarmail.com on *:80 (http)” link fails with “Error Code 10061: Connection refused - When the gateway or proxy server contacted the upstream (Web) server, the connection was refused. This usually results from trying to connect to a service that is inactive on the upstream server.“
The DefaultAppPool identity has access to the inetpub/wwwroot folder and there are bindings for both http/80 (with external name) and https/443. I am able to access the internet internally and from the gateway edge server and can send and receive emails with an internal Exchange hub server.
I am unable to access the site on port 80 from anywhere inside/outside/localhost. It looks like the main problem is that TMG does not have a route to localhost. I get a variety of errors:
10051 A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network
10060 A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
12202 Forefront TMG denied the specified Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
Web Proxy (Reverse) Status: 0x80090325
Can someone point me in the right direction?
