If you are using virtual hosting for the website, then it is an issue with
the virtual host name matching.

So, with apache:
servername www.site.com
serveralias site.com site.com. www.site.com.

Hi
I've just been looking at a site and accidentally added an extra dot
to the end of the domain name, rather than getting the site I got a MS
small business server 2003 admin page.

e.g.
http://www.site.com gives the real site
http://www.site.com. gives the admin page

I assume that this is something to do with IIS not parsing the url
correctly so giving the default website rather than the vhost with
that address. Is this a known issue? I tried to google but couldn't
think what to google for!
