blog subsite giving 404 on accessing in public facing

Question

I need help and it would be great if anyone suggest/help.

The Problem is:

We added a blog sub-site in a SharePoint 2010 publishing site. now the site is browseable in the authoring version. But it is showing 404 on the public facing, the URL is

http://www.nextdocs.com/en-us/blogs/default.aspx

I am not seeing the publishing tab in authoring.

Do you have any idea how to make the blog site available in the public facing. Well appreciated for help.

Answer 1

Ensure that you have an Alternate Access Mapping set up for www.nextdocs.com and IIS has a binding for the host header.

I've seen similar behaviour when a web has been created without the host header and IIS has been used to bind the address to the site but SharePoint has no knowledge of the host header.
