Alternate Acces Mappings Problem

Question

Hi,
as the title says i am experiencing some issues about the alternate access mappings. I have a portal running on https://es-moss-z so i configured an aam to https://portal which works just fine without any problem. Another Webapplication hosting the "MySites" runs at https://es-moss-z:68464 and i have configured an aam for this webapplication,too (https://portal:68464) . But when i access the mysites from the portal through the link in the upper right corner i am still directed to the https://es-miss-z instead of http://portal:68464 .

Another Question is if there is a way to for the portal and the mysites to be reachable through https://portal or is that impossible because both are hosted by a single webapp?
Any solutions ?

regards pascal

Hi,

This is a Mysite issue, so I moved it to SharePoint- Social Computing.

The issue may be caused by my site host location, please try to go to my site host location (Go to SSP > On the My Site Settings page> Personal Site Services section> Personal site Provider), change the provider to https://portal:68464. The My Site settings default to the Personal site provider location.

I think it is better to run My Sites and the SharePoint site in different Web applications so that you can back up and restore My Sites separately from site.

Hope it helps.
