New web app “This page can't be displayed” SP13

Question

When I create a Web application with different host name then a server name I recieve erorr message "this page can't be displayed"

The same if I crate a web application with my server name http://SharePointServer:80 it's working but if I change the name in AAM again I have the same Issue.

Answer 1

There are couple of things to check

• your fqdn url(host header) if it is DNS a record then point to correct server
• if you are using host file entry, make sure it exists
• also check the AAM
• check IIS bindings as well

Answer 2

I had the same situation and followed the advise from below link. it resolved my case.

1. Open IIS Manager on the server hosting Central Administration
2. Expand the server name and then select Application Pools
3. Select the SharePoint Central Administration v4 application pool. In the Actions menu on the far right select Advanced Settings
4. Locate the Process Model Section and change the “Shutdown Time Limit” to a higher value. I choose 300 for this environment
5. Close IIS and then initiate an IISRESET
