MOSS Alternate Access Mappings

Question

Hi,

I have created a new MOSS site on the following port listed in the Alternate Access Mappings as:

http://sharepoint:27478 Default http://sharepoint:27478

I now want to configure a domain name to point at this. I have the domain configured to look at http://sharepoint, which is the name of the server.

What would I need to change in the Alternate Access Mappings?

All the best

Answer 1

All you need to add is the external name.

Which would look like:

http://sharepoint:27478 Default http://www.mywebsite.com

Answer 2

Go to Central Administration >> Operations >> Global Configuration >>Alternative Access Mappings
Here just select your existing application http://sharepoint:27478, then put the new url (with domain name) in the required zone.
