problem opening sharepoint site

I have installed a new server with WSS 3.0.  I can open the SharePoint site from the local computer, but I cannot get to it from another computer.  I installed it as a stand alone server, it is a member of my domain.  I have a development server that was not a member of the domain (it is it’s own DC) that I have no problems connecting to.  The IIS settings are the same on both servers. I the only difference is the one the I can’t connect to is a member of the domain.  I know this has got to be simple but I am not seeing it.

solution :

I knew it was simple.  Windows firewall.  I was not the one who configured the new server and assumed that the firewall would be off or configured properly.

SharePoint sites not opening locally IIS Error

I am having this strange problem . All of a sudden all of the new sites created in the SharePoint are not opening locally. And even iis is failing to pick up the ip binding with a site. All my existing sites when browsed from IIS manager are giving certificate error and ultimately showing connection problem error. Only thing that was done was the patching this week. I have no idea why all this is happening. Has any one faced similar problems before.

Solution :

  • try stopping the Foundation Web service on the affected farm member and re-starting it.

  • If you were adding SSL certs to the IIS sites, it may be a case of attempting to use the same IP with different SSL certificates across IIS web sites.  IIS 7.5 and below do not support SNI, so you have to have a unique IP:SSL Cert combination, or get a Wildcard or SAN certificate instead.
