WSS Hostheader Issues

Issues with SharePoint alternate Host Header? 

 

I tried created a second SharePoint instance on my existing server. 

 

It seems very straight forward.

 

Go to your SharePoint Central Administrator.  Go to Application Management.

 

Under “SharePoint Web Application Management”, click “create or extend a web application”, click “create a new web application”.

 

Under “Create a New Web Application”, you can even specify the host header and URL… Simple… or not…

 

Fill that out and then, create site collection.

 

 

I kept being prompted for a username and password when hitting the new site.  “You are not authorized to view this page”….

 

Then I found this:

• Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
• In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
• Right-click Lsa, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
• Type DisableLoopbackCheck, and then press ENTER.
• Right-click DisableLoopbackCheck, and then click Modify.
• In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.

REBOOT!

 

Bingo – it works.
