Just installed SharePoint 2016. We created a new web app and a new site collection. Upon navigating to the new site collection, we are faced with a "Page Cannot be Displayed" error.

We have tried:

  • Resetting ISS
  • Updating User Policy
  • Trying to access /_Layouts/15/settings.aspx and /_Layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx with no success
  • Trying to upload the site within SP Designer 2013 without success
  • Removing host header
  • It is not configured to use SSL

Nothing has worked so far, any other suggestions?

  • check ULS files to find more information about this error. The default path of ULS log file is: C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\16\LOGS. And, create a new site collection, check if the new one could work.

  • Thanks, I'll check the logs. We did try multiple site collections with no resolution, unfortunately.

I just had the same problem with my Enterprise Search Centre.

  • Check your DNS is set up correctly
  • Check your hosts file for bad /old entries
  • Check the Bindings and host name are set up correctly in IIS
  • Check the site and application pool are started in IIS
  • Ping the web app to see if it gets a response
  • Set up a new site collection in the same Web App to ensure the web application is working
  • Check Super User and Super Reader account permissions on the Web Application

I made all the same checks, found that DNS was not set up for the url, once I set it up and still the same error I simply deleted the site collection and created it again and it worked fine.

  • Thanks so much for your reply. That's what we keep getting hung up on - we shouldn't have to set up DNS yet because we are only accessing the site on the server, correct?

    If you have not set up DNS you will need to add a hosts file entry for the URL if it is not the same as the server name to point to itself (localhost = 127.0.0.1)
