In a 1 WFE + 1 Indexer + 1 cluster SQL server environment, I was creating a web application through central admin. After the web app got created I noticed that I don't see the IIS website in the WFE although I am seeing it in Index server. I noticed that wss timer service was stopped in the WFE and restarted it. Then I killed the provisioning task from timer job definitions. Now I am not able to see the web app in the Central Admin (List of web applications). When I am trying to create an alternate web app using the same host header, SharePoint is complaining "Your URL" is already routed to the Default zone of another application. Remove that mapping or use a different URL. How can I remove the mapping unless I can see the web app in Central Admin? Thanks

can you check the site inside the AAM? is site availble in the IIS? can you see the web app when you click on the content DBs? thanks waqasi am at entry level administrator

I can see the site in AAM (default). Like I said, the site is available in the Indexer IIS but not on the WFE IIS. I can not see the web app when I click on content DB. Thanks Soumya

you can edit the AAM default setting and change the host header to server name and port number you configured. on which server you CA hosted? are you able to delete the web site? thanks wsi am at entry level administrator

Thanks ws. I edited the AAM default settings and was able to free up the host header and create the new site that I was trying to create. CA is hosted on the index server. I am not able to delete the web app as CA does not show that as a default web site. I am sure deleting the IIS web site on Indexer and deleting the content database directly from the SQL box will be a big NO NO. Please advise. Thanks, Soumya

You can delete the IIS web and also delete the content DB. But my concerns why this site is not showing up in your list, may be its not properly provisioned.yes you can delete it.i am at entry level administrator
