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 attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold enforced by the administrator

You might have developed a functionality where data is being saved in a SharePoint list. By the time you developed this functionality it was working fine.As users adds the data , some day your functionality doesn't work. That means, the data which is present in the list is not being retrieved. Don't be panic. Just open the LOG file which is present in 14 hive folder. You will come to know about this bug with the statement -"The attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold enforced by the administrator". Now what you have to do is, go to central administration site.  1.Click on Manage web application 2.Select the web application on which your sitecollection is created. 3.Click on General settings and select Resource throttling 4.by default list view threshold would be 5000. your list might have data more than 5000. So , increase the number to required threshold limit. you can make it 10000, 20000 like this. Do a i...

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.
