Sharepoint 2007 sp2 and SQL 2005 I can bring up the Central Admin, and Sharepoint service. I could setup the properties. I created the web applicationon a link like http://something.something.com , created a site collection. I could access my site. but, I can't see the desired internal site http://something.something.com . What am i mssing? Sara

did you check, your URL in NSlookup if it exist? at which port you configured your site? are you able to access the site using you the http://servername:portnumber? is their any error in the ULS logs or Event Viwer? thanks -wsSharePoint administrator, MCTS,MCITP

Hi, Please have a try to access the site using the http://servername:portnumber. I think you can check the following to resolve the problem: 1. Check the user permission being used to create the new site and application pool. That user must have permission on SQL Server. 2. Try to create a new web application on a different port, like 4004 (an unique port). Then create a site collection. after this, you can check from IIS Web Sites that a new web site is created with the given name of the web application which is using port 4004. Now run the URL: http://servername:4004, it should show the site you just created provided the WSS is installed correctly and IIS setting is ok. Otherwise you need to reinstall SharePoint. I wish you every success in your important work. Best regards, David HM

Thank you all for reply. I could make bring it up with the port number. But , I can't make it to work with the desired url after setting up the alternate mapping in Intranet zone. Sara

The URL was not registered in DNS. Thank you all.Sara
