I have two different SharePoint sites on my server which are separated using host headers on IIS.
Everything seems to work fine but I cannot open my sites using SharePoint designer 2013 and it doesn't give any sensible error to work on.
I tried to connect on server as well as on my local machine and tried both domain and IP but nothing seems to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
you must enable sharepoint designer on the web application settings, in central administration.
then, make sure you are site collection admin and enable spd on site collection settings
if you are trying to connect locally, make sure you can resolve the server address. optionally create a hosts entry

I am new at SharePoint and have installed and configured everything, on the local machine (where SharePoint is installed), I connect with the PC name, and everything is working, I can access the front-end and the Central Administration. I have a dns record that points to the ip of the computer. So on another machine, I use the url (intranet.domain.com) to connect. Central Administration works (intranet.domain.com:12548) but when I try to access the front-end (Port 80 - intranet.domain.com) I get the following on my screen
I presume something on my IIS is not setup correctly.
Any advise how I can fix this?
Turns out, I need to create a new Web Application for the new Site Collection
Hi all and sorry for the long title. I've had the management of a SharePoint 2010 farm environment tossed to me and while most things are working one thing is not. None of our users are able to connect to any of the sites in this farm with SharePoint Designer. They all get the dreaded "server could not complete the request" message followed by the eternally helpful MS error message "Object moved. Object moved to here."
I've dug around everywhere I can think to look and the closest explanation I see is that it may have something to do with our SP server hosting 5 SP applications, all with their own host headers. The things I find seem to suggest that Designer won't play with SP servers featuring multiple host headers...but I have to think that can't be the case. SharePoint encourages you to make use of host headers when setting up your applications.
I've tried installing Designer directly onto the server itself: no dice.
I've tried setting up the sites without a host header: sites don't work (and it wouldn't be a permanent fix because the user base this farm serves are barely computer literate so asking them to use IP addresses will be like Armageddon)
I've checked the farm settings to ensure that use of Designer is allowed: it is.
For this intranet instance, we do apparently have 5 separate IP addresses tracking to this box that will eventually host 5 SP applications (if that helps).
I'm a developer and not a server or network admin so any guidance or advice from anyone who's run into this and found a fix would be most welcome.
First of all update Sharepoint Designer and Sharepoint to the latest service pack and do an iisreset and use Sharepoint Designer 2010 for access Sharepoint 2010 Farm.
Enable anonymous authentication for the SharePoint web application in IIS.
See this KB2758431 for more details, this is for Sharepoint 2013 but I think is still valid for 2010.
Set the registry DisableLoopBackCheck entry
Check the ULS Log and Event Viewer for error messages.
Here a little explanation about IIS name resolutions of Sharepoint.
You have to check the DNS, the IIS host header (foreach web site) and settings from the client.
If there are an entry into DNS corresponding to an hostheader of web application you must use this name for accessing the sharepoint web site, try with the FQDN (i.e. if the entry in DNS is Server01 and you are on mydomain.lan you must use for connecting: http://server01.mydomain.lan), check also from your client a ping to the address to see if you reach the server.
If there are no entry into the DNS, add to your hosts file the hostheader of the corresponding sharepoint site and try (same thing as for the DNS, see above).
I have created a site collection and then create two team sites on sharepoint server. Sites are working fine from central Admin but they are not appearing in IIS manager. Also when I try to edit a sharepoint site on sharepoint designer 2010 follwing error comes.
Unable to open website following causes:
1) the web server may not have sharepoint installed
2)The web server may be temporarily out of service
3)if you are connecting through a proxy server the proxy settings may be incorrect
4) An error may be occured in the web server
The IIS manager only showing the follwing sites
Sharepoint 80 and sharepoint central admin
When I try to create a site on sharepoint designer following error comes:
The web site must be created on a server that is running microsoft sharpoint foundation server please chooose another location.
I have installed sharepoint server 2010, sharepoint foundation server 2010 and sharepoint designer on my pc.
thanks
In IIS Manager, you're only going to see the Web apps, the site collections and sites are wont show up (if you have another web app that isn't showing up, that's a bigger issue. I'd delete it and try to recreate it). The SharePoint Designer issue, I've had before. For me, the issue was a firewall setting. But basically if you can get to the pages with the browser, make sure you have correct permissions set for your login, etc.
I have Sharepoint on the cloud and I can access it from anywhere, except home. At home I have a ClearOS and I can´t go through to my Sharepoint Portal.
I guess that I may need to open some ports, right? Whic ports?
Port 80. SharePoint runs as a normal website, unless you're trying to access Central Admin or using SharePoint Designer.
You shouldn't need to explicitly open port 80, especially if you can access other websites.
You should post more info about any errors you are getting.
Likely you need to have your Sharepoint site bypassed in the proxy server settings section. Sharepoint can use proprietary bits (ikr? Microsoft doing something proprietary?) that get borked when passing through the proxy or content filter.
If you list the site(s) in the Web Proxy module (bypass section at the bottom) it will create appropriate firewall rules that will skip over using the proxy and content filter for that site.
Cheers.
I just installed TFS2010, and set it up with the single server wizard. It installed me Sharepoint Services an let everything working pretty well.
But, the sharepoint URLs it generates from the Server name "server". As my setup is without a domain, the URLs work okay only from the server computer, not from the others.
I have to give access to LAN clients, and Internet Clients, both connected thought my Public Ip.
How can I change those sharepoint IPs from TFS to be generated From the IP, not from the Server's name??
Thanks in advance
Sharepoint is simply an ASP.Net web application sitting on IIS so all the configuration for host headers etc can be added in IIS itself - if you have multiple instance of sharepoint running on the server, you'll have to add URL's using the sharepoint configuration site but most stuff can be tweaked through IIS (IP's its listening on etc)
If you not on an domainan and want people to have access to the site though you'll have to add your machines IP to the DNS server that you clients are using
