I'm trying to create a new sharepoint web application and giving it a host header. I craeted the web application and created a site collection inside it, but the site collection didn't work. But whever I create the web application without host headers, everything works just fine.

What am I messing here? Isn't the host header just a header to the web application to make the URL to the web application instead of MachineName:portNumber to be HostHeader:Portnumber ?

Thanks

When you say, "didn't work" what happens? Also which version of Windows Server are you running? – Alex Angas Oct 4 '09 at 11:27
Could be DNS, LoopBackCheck, ... depends on what you define as "doesn't work" of course. – Thomas Vochten Oct 5 '09 at 6:03
