SharePoint Site url is not working for debugging a solution

Question

For debugging a SharePoint solution I want to give test site URL in visual studio.

but since web application URL is already access mapped

(http://example:2344 -> http://example.com). 

When I try to give http://example.com URL in, it shows

"Remote SharePoint site connections are not supported "

How can I use http://example.com (Alternate Access Mapped Url) for debugging purpose since currently, I don't have original URL (http://example:2344)?

Answer 1

I think you need to configure the hosts file on your server to map the server IP to the hostname.

---

To Edit Host file

• Open your NotePad as administrator.
• From Notepad, open the following file: c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

• Add new entry as the following:

  • Server IP > click Tab > hostname , for example:

    127.0.0.1     example.com
    

• Click File > Save to save your changes.

Answer 2

use the Get-SPAlternateURL cmdlet, you can find the existing AAM settings for a web application.

Answer 3

Try this..

1)Open the project path in Windows Explorer

2)Locate the file .csproj.user(or .vbproj.user)

3)Open it with text editor(e.g. Notepad)

4)Change the SharePointSiteUrl property

5)Save the file, and then re-open the project (by deploying)

This works perfectly for me..
