Recently renamed our SharePoint server, following procedures listed in Technet article. SharePoint and TFS work fine. However, when trying to browse the Central Administration site, we get a 404 error message saying webpage cannot be found. Here are a few diagnostic steps: - Ran Configuration Wizard, removed Central Admin site from server, re-ran wizard, and re-added Admin site to server. Didn't help. - Checked access mappings. Everything looks kosher. - Checked event log. Found several instances of this error message: The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.ConfigurationCheckerJob (ID a5af27c3-1ab0-49fb-b38a-3b7ad9d10b69) threw an exception. More information is included below. The site http://server-name:port (edited) could not be found in the Web application SPAdministrationWebApplication Parent=SPWebService Name=WSS_Administration. - Ran stsadm -o enumsites -url http://server-name:port. Returned 0 sites. - Checked the SharePoint_AdminContent_<guid> database. Ran query "select * from sites". Returned one row, but the FullUrl column is empty. Don't know if this means anything. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi G Admin, This issue occurs if a site collection does not exist at the root of the Web Application. To resolve this issue, create a site collection at the root of the Web application.
