create multiple web applications on 80 port in sharepoint

This is an obvious requirement from any client when it comes to hosting for http. if you want to host multiple site collections on same 80 port , it can be achieved through following steps.


  1. Create a web application on 80 port and provide the host header as the alternate access mapping url content without http://. i.e suppose the alternate access mapping url is http://indiansharepoint.com then you have consider the host header as indiansharepoint.com . Look at the below attached snapshot.


     2.Create another web application on 80 port itself and provide the host header as the alternate access mapping url content without http://. i.e suppose the alternate access mapping url is http://IndianGeek.com then you have consider the host header as IndianGeek.com . Look at the below attached snapshot.




    3.Now Create site collections for both the web applications as usual. I am not going to give explanation about it here.
     4. Now open the file hosts present in the location  C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\  . Now open the hosts file in notepad.

There you can find the dns record. Now you have to add records in the following format. Since we have created 2 sites as of now with hosts headers , you need to enter the host headers in front of each host header so that you can be able to access both sites without any conflict



 
in the above snapshot, there have given description after #  symbol. while entering the record for our sites , we should not use # before the record entry. each entry should be added one below the other.After each entry , press ENTER key .The format would be 

127.0.0.1 <SPACE> Host Header Name 
ie.
127.0.0.1 indiangeek.com    <Press enter Key>
127.0.0.1 indiansharepoint.com

Note:127.0.0.1 may vary. I am not sure. But in the hosts file itself you will get information about this. So no worries :)

save the hosts file . Now you can access the site easily which are hosted on same port. You don't need to mention the port number either it is 80 or some other port.


Thanks

The Fastest way to Export Schema of Sharepoint List

Many of my SharePoint Developer friends are struggling to get the Schema.xml file of a newly created list. The schema.xml file has the list's metadata information, by using the schema.xml, we can create the lis definition and paste this contents of Schema.xml to the Schema.xml file of the newly created List definition, so that you can deploy the list definition on another site. In order to do this, you guys might be following the procedure bu saving the site template and get the site definition solution. After this, you will open visual studio and import this solution and wait for few minutes. THIS IS A CRAPPY PROCEDURE..Why do you invest your time to get a schema of one or few list  by taking entire site definition?..If that site has lots of lists, then it will take lots of time. In my Research, i have found a the BEST  and quicker way to get schema.xml file of a particular list which you need Schema.xml. Follow the following procedure : Go to your site  click on the lis

How to avoid refreshing of page on clicking on BUTTON in jQuery?

Suppose you might have created a button on page.When you click on that button without page refresh some other custom things have to happen. But instead of that, on clicking on the button the page is getting refreshed. How to avoid this?.. Simple, The button click event has default event as refreshing the page. The solution is to "prevent the default event". $("#ButtonID").Click(function(e) {   e.preventDefault(); //Write your custom code here } ); Hope this may help Cheers Pradeepa Achar

By looking at this bug you may get shocked and may not understand why this is happening. I can say, you have developed a wsp of farm solution, not the sandboxed solution  using visual studio and added some OOTB webparts such as visual webparts and trying to deploy the solution via solution gallery directly on to the sharepoint site. It is so simple.Understand that, when you create a .wsp file using visual studio, you deploy as farm solution. But when you try to deploy the same solution from site settings-> solution gallery, you deploy it as sand boxed solution. In this situation ,the "TemplateFiles" elements refers to the items that will be copied into the web servers. This is allowed only in farm solutions , not in sandboxed solutions. I suggest you guys to deploy the solution either using stsadm command or powershell command, so that it will work fine.If anyone wants to know about how to deploy using powershell command you can refer the   techNet  document for
