Hello all, I am new to SharePoint. I want to know one thing that i created one web application as http://myserver:253/ here "myserver" is my computer name and 253 is my port number. And while creating this i didn't entered Header. Is it possible to make my URL as http://myserver.com ? If its possible what i have to do? Thanks

Hello Trinath, If its a new web app, why not create another with name "myserver.com" If you dont want the port number, you can let it to the default. (by default it will take 80) Alternatively you can also use Alternate access mapping :) Details can be found at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sharepoint/archive/2007/03/06/what-every-sharepoint-administrator-needs-to-know-about-alternate-access-mappings-part-1.aspx and http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263208(office.12).aspx Hope this helps, Regards, Rohan

Hello Sir, Thanks for your Reply i have created a new web application with URL as http://www.mysystem.com Before creating new application default data as port:4245 URL:http://mysystem:4245/ Zone was disabled. Header is null. I changed things as port:20 URL as http://www.mysystem.com Header as mysystem.mycompany.com Site successfully created and i created site collection as team site finally i got URL as i want. When i placed that URL in the browser, i am getting error as "Server was not found" Where i am doing wrong Sir? Thanks.

Hello Trinath, You mentioned that you changed the port to 20 Port 0 to 1023 are reserved ports :( and can not be used by any pplications So I would suggest to change the port value to something between 1024 to 65535 Hope this helps, Regards, Rohan

Hello Sir, I changed all options according to your reply Once i clicked on create new web application, Default things are Port:32028 url:http://localsystem:32028 header empty zone disabled Then i changed to like this, Port:8000 header:intranet.mycompany.com URL: http://intanet.mycompany.com even its showing server could not find this URL. Where i am doing wrong sir. Thanks.

Hi Sir, I am unable to browse in IIS also. Help me please. Thanks

Hi Trinath, You need to add the DNS entry for the Hostname (intranet.mycompany.com) and the IP (Server IP). Once this hostname entry is made in the DNS, then you need to change the port number of the web application to 80 and then add this URL in the Alternate Access Mapping.

Hello Sir, I tired the same. But even i have same problem its showing server was not found. Please help me here.
