I'm having issues connecting to our sharepoint site using our server name. When we enter in our server name it is showing an IIS splash page with a clickable image that redirects to the microsoft iis site.

Our SharePoint site url I'm trying to access is (http://servername). When i look at the root folder for the default site (C:\inetpub\wwwroot) thats where the IIS page is showing from.

Here are my Alternate Access Mapping Settings

Internal URL                Public URL                   Zone
http://servername           http://servername            Default
https://externalsite.com    https://externalsite.com     Internet

This is a multi-tier server farm with only 2 servers in the farm. How do i get my http://servername to work again and show my sharepoint site? The SharePoint site is on port 80 and I'm not entirely show what changes I made for this to happen...

Thank you so much

  • I've seen this before, and it was because there is no homepage redirection or somehow the redirection to the homepage doesn't work either through F5 or URL rewriting.

if you really want to access it by http://servername , you can STOP / delete the Default Web Site on IIS. Make sure your SharePoint Web Application is started as well.

  • Is it best practice to just do a http redirect? or do most people use the internal server name to access it.
