I have a site on port 8080, and extended the site to port 80. Then I added an alternate access mapping to the new url on port 80. I have also created a new host file entry and added the host entry name to the host header configuration in IIS for the extended web app.
If I browse to the site on port 8080, I can access the site with no problems. I can also access the site on port 80 with no problems.
When I try to access the site using the newly created host entry, I get a error that the page cannot be displayed.
The setup:
Server 2003 Standard edition (x64) Sql Server 2005 Standard
- original url -
http://jason-1541466b8:8080/sites/denver/default.aspx
- extended url -
http://jason-1541466b8/sites/denver/default.aspx
- host entry - mynewsharepoint
- updated url -
http://mynewsharepoint/sites/denver/default.aspx
Alternate Access Mappings
- default -
http://jason-1541466b8:8080
- intranet -
http://jason-1541466b8
- custom -
http://mynewsharepoint
I think I am missing a minor detail somewhere, but cannot seem to find it.
Thanks, Jason
