Here the scenario; 2 wfe servers named: spwfe01, spwfe02 and 2 application servers named: spapp01, spapp02. internal domain name contoso.local so the servers names are spwfe01.contoso.local etc. Our internet domain is contoso.com. Our users, access the portal with portal.consotoso.com . So the what is the best practice with AAM configuration.
Here is the ip addresses
portal.contoso.com 192.168.1.50 (Load Balancer)
spwfe01 192.168.1.31
spwfe02 192.168.1.32
spapp01 192.168.1.21
spapp02 192.168.1.22
Internal URL Zone Public URL for Zone
------------ ---- -------------------
http://portal.contoso.com Default https://portal.contoso.com
https://portal.contoso.com Default https://portal.contoso.com
http://spwfe01 Default https://portal.contoso.com
http://spwfe02 Default https://portal.contoso.com
http://spapp01 Default https://portal.contoso.com
http://spapp02 Default https://portal.contoso.com
In the DNS Server, servers have the correct records.
For loopbackcheck issue i added hosts files 127.0.0.1 for portal.contoso.com (every server in the farm) and configured the registry via https://blog.blksthl.com/2013/05/07/a-quick-guide-to-configuring-the-loopback-check/ .
But last days i have expreienced weird issue with the WAC server. WAC server gives error like "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document. If this happens again, try opening the document in Microsoft Word." In the ULS logs: "System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The system cannot find the file specified" After digging google for hours i found the solution. In the WAC server's hosts files i added this row: 192.168.1.31 portal.contoso.com (spwfe01's ip address)
Where did i wrong about aam conf.
