SharePoint 2010: Sites not working

Question

Hi

I have installed SharePoint 2010 without any issue. Central Control Panel is working fine. It created web application for me during the sharepoint farm configuration and its working fine.

BUT...... When ever i create a new web application and then site collection. It doesnt work. Browser shows me an error "Internal explorer cant display the webpage", It doesnt ask me for any password or credentials etc.

I am creating that site on port 80, then i also tried to create it on different port but same error.

Can please some one help?

Best regards

FYI

May be i can do something on DNS level, Add a CName or new host but i not sure.

Answer 1

Hi,

Did you configure "Host Header" while creating web application?. If so, you need to add A Record in DNS to map IP address of the server or load balancer.

You can create web applications without Host Header (Leave that blank) while creating web application. But the URL os the site will look like http://your server:port number .

Please let us know, if you need more details.

Click Application Management > Alternate Access Mappings, and make sure the Default URL is set for your site and it matches the dns entry you are using. So if your port is 80 then http://site.domain.org should be set on your site. The way you access it shoudl have a mapping in here for it to display the site properly. You can add additional URL's as well but for first time setup just setup one as the default for your site. (leave the central Admin URL as is).

Thank you for you reply,

Yes i was using Host Header and as you suggested i added A Record in DNS, Now when i try to access site, it prompts me for credentials 3 times and then shows me a white blank page. I m not getting any error but site is still not accessible. Any ideas

Cheers

Answer 4

I worked

What i did is

1. Added A Records in DNS

2. Disable the loopback check (less-recommended method)

To set the DisableLoopbackCheck registry key, follow these steps:

1. Set the
   DisableStrictNameChecking
   registry entry to 1. For more information about how to do this, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
   281308  Connecting to SMB share on a Windows 2000-based computer or a Windows Server 2003-based computer may not work with an alias name
2. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
4. Right-click Lsa, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
5. Type DisableLoopbackCheck, and then press ENTER.
6. Right-click DisableLoopbackCheck, and then click Modify.
7. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
8. Quit Registry Editor, and then restart your computer.

thanks for the support :)
