Question : Sharepoint Alternate Access Mappings not working
|
|
Ive just installed MOSS 2007 and im trying to set up my URL's so that the users can access an intranet web site by typing a URL without the port number. The default URL I set up is http://camel:102 I want the URL to be http://tiger
Im not concerned with users on the internet accessing this URL, im only interested in getting local intranet users to access the site by using the ammended URL http://tiger
Im using Server2003, IIS6 and MOSS2007
Do i have to alter IIS6, DNS and AAM settings? can someone please explain the process. Thanks

Changing Sharepoint site url from http://servername:port to http://sitename For reference purposes: Current URL: http://sharepoint:4755 Desired URL: http://itweb
- Before going into IIS / Sharepoint, first we need to create a DNS ANAME host record for the new host name of itweb and assign it the ip address of the sharepoint server.
- Open IIS Manager.
- Expand the list of websites and find SharePoint-4755. Select site to see menu in right menu pane.
- In the Actions menu pane, click on the Bindings.
- Click on the Add button on the Site Binding
- Change the port number to 80.
- Change the IP address to All unassigned
- In the host header value field type the hostname you desire, in this case itweb. Click OK, then click OK on the web properties.
- Now go into your SharePoint Central Administration and click on Operations.
- Now click Alternate Access Mappings under Global Configuration.
- In the top right corner, select the web application you wish to work with, in this case it is SharePoint-4755.
- Now all Internal URL's associated with that site should be listed. In my case there was only one, http://sharepoint:4755. Click on the URL.
- Now in the URL protocol, host and port field type http://itweb/ and click ok. Dont change the zone. Leave it on default.
- Now close SharePoint Central Administration and open your web browser and type in the new URL, http://itweb.
