Some initial notes. Host Names and New Websites

As I had stated in a previous post, this blog is as a way to document my adventures in sharepoint and codeing, so I will have somewhere to look up things I learned previously but have forgotten right now.


So before I forget, some things to record. Hostnames for SharePoint sites need a valid website and a DNS entry. At this point in time I have no idea how to add DNS entries in Windows Server 2008 and it is not germane to what I am trying to do. I will not pursue this any further at this point in time.


That said, when I use Sharepoint to create a new web site and add a site collection, while I can browse to it locally on the server I cannot on my laptop even though I can borwse to the default website and to any site collections I create there. So what is with that? Again I suspect is is some subtle DNS issue and in all probability there are some terrible issues with the server as configured by me.


One does not really appreciate the work sysadmins do.
