What is the URL to your site? If your are using hostnames you must add the host to your hosts file: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts If you are on the server and using a fully qualified domain name, your request will be blocked by the server (loopback security check). See explanation of this and how to work around it (OBS: dont disable loopback check as some blogs advice you to do). |

To create a "site" in SharePoint you need to first create a Web Application, and by the image it looks like you have done just that. Then you have to create a top-level Site Collection for that web application, have you done that? |

Browsing to the site from IIS may replace the host header name with 'localhost' and Sharepoint wont like that. If you created the site collection with a host header then just enter that in the URL in IE. If you created it with a port number then browse to the machine name + port number. When in doubt open Central Admin -> application management -> site collections, and select the correct web app / site collection, copy and paste the url into IE. |

I would double check the Alternate Access Mappings properties for the application in CA. The configured URL needs to be accessible whether you use IP, Servername, or a FQDN. |

Judging from the screenshot, you are using host headers. Make sure that the nslookup command line utility returns 127.0.0.1 or a valid IP pointing back to your server. As a proactive next step also apply the recommendations regarding the BackConnectionHostNames or DisableLoopbackCheck registry key from the knowledge base article 896861. |

First things first. Check the windows event log. Go to the run menu and type -> eventvwr. This could also be related to permissions both at site level and the database level. Let us know your findings. |

Check the account that the application pool is running under. It's possibly NETWORK SERVICE. This account probably won't have permissions to create databases on the DB server. If the DB server is on a separate machine, you I don't think you'll be able to do this. The App Pool account context needs to be a domain account that is a member of the IIS_WPG group on the server running IIS. SharePoint should grant this account everything it needs on the SQL Server when you set up your Web App. |
