HTTP 404 Not Found (the webpage cannot be found)

Question

Hi all,

I want to map my default page named as ba-sp-01 to spns.hm.intet.mu (on an ip 172.16.2.205).

On alternate access mapping, I got my default url:

Internal URL:                               Zone:                                       Public URL for zone:

http://ba-sp-01                          Default                                       http://ba-sp-01

I created

http://172.16.2.205                   Intranet                                       http://172.16.2.205

http://spns.hm.intnet.mu            Internet                                       http://spns.hm.intnet.mu

On IIS I created:

Type           Host Name                  Port               IP Address

http            BA-SP-01                    80                     *

http            spns.hm.intnet.mu       80                     *

When I open http://ba-sp-01 and http://spns.hm.intnet.mu in my browser, I got:

"HTTP 404 Not Found,The webpage cannot be found."

Please help why I am having this error and advise if my mapping is correct or not?

Please suggest solution

Thanks & Regards.

Answer 1

Please remove the customized IIS WebSite named BA-SP-01 and spns.hm.intnet.mu and then do the following steps:

1. Click the "Bind" of the IIS Web Site used by Default Zone 

2. Add One Record:

Type           Host Name                  Port               IP Address

http            spns.hm.intnet.mu       80                     *

3. Save

After that, it works fine that the URL will be switched to http://BA-SP-01 when inputting the http://spns.hm.intnet.mu.

Answer 2

Hi Shelley,

Thank you for the reply.

I try what you suggest but it is not working.

At first when I was opening http://spns.hm.intnet.mu, it prompts credential but when I made the modification it is not prompting credential, just error Http 404 not found and the webpage cannot be found.

Please suggest another way.

Thanks

Answer 3

please add the record in DNS Server because you define a new host name.

Answer 4

Hi,

I agreed with Shelley, please create a DNS record for the new host name and the IP address of the record corresponds to the IP address of your SharePoint server.

In addition, there are some similar posts about configuring AAM using a different host name, you take a look at:
