Can i add a seccond Web Application to my local sharepoint installation?

Question

When i go to Central Administration - Application Management on my local sharepoint installating, i can only view the current web applications. I cannot add a new or delete an existing web application. I'm logged in as a farm admin.

Did i forget something?

EDIT: I just saw that when i go to central administration, i see an alert that my securtity token service is not running. I guess this has something to do with my problem.

Answer 1

From Central Administration, select "Manage web applications". In the "Web Applications" tab of the ribbon you should see a "New" button. If you don't see the new button, you don't have applicable permissions to create a web application.

Answer 2

Make sure you start Internet Explorer with elevated privilegies. The New button will be disabled otherwise.
