In our organisation we installed Sharepoint Portal Server a few weeks ago, but since then we're experiencing problems using Sharepoint.
A little bit background information:
Sharepoint is installed on a server named shpsrv01. The Sharepoint Portal Server is accessable via http://shpsrv01. To enable our collegues to access the portal from outside the company, we setup the URL https://portal.ourcompany.com, where ourcompany.com is recplaced for our company's URL. We're using Microsoft's ISA Server to protect our network.
Now I'm experiencing the following issues:
- When I upload a document via the standard uploadscreen via http://shpsrv01 the document is shown in the document libary. However, when I upload the same document via the https:// then the document is not shown. When I unmark the 'overwrite' file, the portal says that the document exists, but I don't see it in the document library!
- I also put the content editor web-part on some pages. Using http:// I can easily change the content, but not via https://. I get the error that the properties can't be retrieved and that the settings are not saved.
- The search crawl immediately ends with a '0x80041205 - Access is denied' message, however, we installed the correct user. Besides that, the search crawl also tries to search http://portal.ourcompany.com.
We suspect our ISA server for causing these issues. I also saw some forum posts describing the same problem.
We experienced some similar problems - but finally we managed to solve them:
This might do the trick:
- don't use other ports then 80 and 443 on the webserver. - don't use headertranslation - use different ip-addresses on the webserver to make distinction between sites - On the SSL-rule use linktranslation to transform the servername to the url-name
Thank you for your reply! Please let me describe our situation in more detail, maybe there's some useful information.
Besides Sharepoint, we also host our Microsoft CRM and Microsoft Project environments on the server. We use the same IP address, but we use a different port for each application.
So if I understand you correctly, you suggest that we use a different IP address for each application and use only port 80 and 443 for those applications?
