Subsite getting 404 error

Question

My SP2010 main site is up and running. I have created new web application and site collection for BLOB storage. I am trying to link this BLOB subsite from main site but getting 404 error http://<machinename> ----- working or http://AAM ----- working or http://AAM/sites/BLOBStore ----- working http://<machinename>/sites/BLOBStore ----- NOT working getting 404 error

Answer 1

Did you put your machine name (and port number) in one of the AAM spots (like default or extranet)?

Yes I tried that option before http://<machinename>:80/sites/BLOBStore ----- NOT working getting same 404 error... :(

Answer 3

Hi Moss_hr,

have you tried http://<Machinename>/sites/BlobStore/_layouts/viewlsts.aspx or http://<Machinename>/sites/BlobStore/_layouts/settings.aspx if a new site collection is created those sites should be accessible anyway.

It might can happen that you don't have a welcome page set or the redirection to the default.aspx doesn't work.

Hope this suggestions work.
Kind regards
Stefan

Found solution after finding this warning in log

Alternate access mappings have not been configured.  Users or services are accessing the site http://AAM with the URL  http://<machinename>.  This may cause incorrect links to be stored or returned to users.  If this is expected, add the URL  http://<machinename> as an AAM response URL.  For more information, see: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=114854"/>

So edited Alternate access mappings for http://AAM

1. Set <machinename> as default

2. Set http://AAM as Intranet

Now it is working fine.... :)
