Question

Answer 1

Open up IIS Manager

1. Start > Type INETMGR in the search textbox and run it.
2. When IIS Manager opens click the server name in the "Connections" panel.
3. Expand the "Sites" node.
4. Select "Central Administration" and click "Browse Web Site" in the "Actions" panel.

Note the URL and you should be able to access "Central Administration" directly from your browser.

Lets assume that you are doing this on the server that is hosting Central Admin.

1. Click the start button and start to type Central Administration. When SharePoint 2013 Central Administration shows - click on it, and the browser should start and you should be able to see Central Administration. If CA still doesn't work...

2. Go to Interent Information Service (IIS) Manager and see that the web site is running and that the application pool is started. If CA still doesn't work...

3. Go to the services and see if SharePoint 2013 Administration is started. If CA still doesn't work...

4. Check that SQL Server is running and that SharePoint system databases are running. If CA still doesn't work...

5. Check that you have sufficient memory and disk available on your virtual/non-virtual machine.
